JRC JQE-103 Operation Manual page 7

<Use of Hydraulic pressure sensor >
The hydraulic pressure sensor activates the cutter using spring force.
Do not disassemble the hydraulic pressure sensor, nor apply pressure to it. Serious injury
could result.
Once the hydraulic pressure sensor operates, it cannot be reused.
Be careful for Satellite EPIRB so as not to be stolen or not to be activated by mischief when the ship
is in port.
<Installation: Main body>
Confirm that the ship's name and ID correspond to those indicated on the label of the Satellite EPIRB
main unit. Rescue work will be planned and executed based on the information of ship's name and
ID sent from the Satellite EPIRB. Proper planning of rescue work would not be possible if ship's
name and ID are wrong.
If the ship's name and ID indicated on the label of the Satellite EPIRB main unit is wrong, ask the
purchasing dealer, JRC agent or one of the JRC branches to change it with correct ship's name and
ID.
When the ship meets disaster, a large trouble will be given to the search rescue organization when
ship information on Satellite EPIRB is wrong.
Remove the Satellite EPIRB if MMSI/new ship name cannot be renewed.
This unit may be damaged due to vibration.
Do not absolutely install this unit in an extremely vibrating place such as a handrail.
This unit must not be installed in a place where a strong magnetic field is generated. The Satellite
EPIRB may activate by the magnetic force.
The Satellite EPIRB must be installed apart from the compass and so for the 2 meters or more
so that the magnetism is not influenced. The magnet in the automatic release bracket may
affect the compass and so forth.
This unit must not be used in a poor-view place such as a control room, engine room and survival
boat (with metal canopy) that may prevent the distress signal from reaching. We recommend that
this unit is used on a wide-view deck, bridge, or on the surface of the sea.
Mount the Satellite EPIRB main unit on the automatic release bracket properly.
Improper mounting causes the Satellite EPIRB not to be automatically released from the bracket in
an emergency.
<Installation: Battery and Hydraulic pressure sensor >
The battery and hydraulic pressure sensor which expired effective periods expired must not
absolutely be used. If such battery and sensor are used, the distress signal may not be
emitted at the emergency disaster. Take care that their lives do not expire.
It is strongly prohibited to install old ID's Satellite EPIRB removing its battery only.
