CAUTIONS AGAINST HIGH VOLTAGE Radio and radar devices are operated by high voltages of anywhere from a few hundred volts up to many hundreds of thousands of volts. Although there is no danger with normal use, it is very dangerous if contact is made with the internal parts of these devices. (Only specialists should attempt any maintenance, checking or adjusting.) There is a very high risk of death by even a few thousand volts, in some cases you can be fatally electrocuted by just a few hundred volts.
First aid ☆Note points for first aid Unless there is impending danger leave the victim where he or she is, then begin artificial respiration. Once you begin artificial respiration, you must continue without losing rhythm. (1) Make contact with the victim cautiously, there is a risk that you may get electrocuted. (2) Switch off the machinery and then move the victim away slowly if you must. (3) Inform someone immediately (a hospital or doctor, dial emergency numbers, etc.).
☆If the victim has a pulse but is not breathing ("Mouth to mouth" resuscitation) Figure 1. (1) Place the victim's head facing backward (place something under the neck like a pillow). (2) Point the chin upward to widen the trachea. (3) Pinch the victim's nose, take a deep breath, then put your mouth over the victim's mouth and exhale completely, making sure that your mouth completely covers the victim's mouth. Then remove your mouth. Repeat this routine 10 to 15 times per minute (holding the nostrils).
☆If the victim has no pulse and is not breathing (Heart massage in combination with artificial respiration.) Figure 2 If the victim has no pulse, his or her pupils are dilated, and if you cannot detect a heartbeat, the heart may have stopped, beginning artificial respiration is critical. (1) Put both hands on the diaphragm, with hands on top of each other keeping both arms straight. (If your elbows are bent, you cannot push with as much power.

3. OPERATIONS This chapter describes mainly the way to use the JSS-296. ATTENTION Regarding the JSB-196GM Radiotelephone or NCT-196N DSC/NBDP Modem operations in detail, see the specialized instruction manuals for them respectively. 3.1 System Standby 3.1.1 Turning the Power ON 1. Turn on the AC and DC switches of NAH-692 Power Amplifier. The other components except for JSB-196GM Radiotelephone are turned ON simultaneously.
3.2 MODEM MODE Change After turning ON the system, according to the mode setting when the system was turned OFF last, the NCT-196N selects the mode. However if needed to change the mode, operate the system in accordance with the following procedure. 3.2.1 MODE change to DSC 1. Confirm that the NCT-196N displays the following screen. DSC watching 06.Sep.2001(Thu) 01:26 -------------------------------------------MODE: XXXX （Press ENT to set DSC mode.） -------------------------------------------- 2.
3.2.2 MODE change to TLX 1. Confirm that the NDZ-127J displays the following screen in any mode except for TLX. [ xxx] Tx=12345. 6kHz / Rx=12345. 6kHz ( I TU CH= Fi l e Mode Connect 0) 10‑ APR‑ 2002 12: 00( LT) Loc: N19. 00 E115. 30 at 11: 00( UTC) Ser vi ce Syst em Hel p [ STATUS I NFO ] Scanni ng i nf o [ No scanni ng] Last st at us messages Pr ess Ent er key t o set NBDP mode. . . Tuner / Tx. POWER TUNER : [ READY] Tx.
3.3 Setting Position and Time Data ATTENTION If the position and time data from navigation aids such as a GPS receiver stop for more than 5 minutes, or if it past for more than 4 hours without further input after entering position and time data manually, the NCT-196N sounds alarm. When the alarm sounding in condition of navigation aid connecting, check the navigation aid or the connections to the NCT-196N.
3. Press MENU again. The "MENU#2-READOUT&SETUP" screen is displayed. MENU #2 -READOUT&SETUP Select no. 1.Received distress message readout 2.Received others message readout 3.Setup Use ▲ and ▼ to scroll. 4.Self test 4. Press 3 , and then press ENT . The "SETUP" screen is displayed. SETUP Select no. 1.Date&time edit 2.Position edit 3.Calling frequency registration 4.Address registration 5.Distress setup 6.Others alarm setup 7.Automatic acknowledgement setup 8.Scanning setup 9.
3.3.2 Specifying Position Input (POSITION EDIT) This operation enters the ship's position data manually. However if the NCT-196N is connected to a navigation aid, which inputs the date and time data, the data from the navigation aid overwrite this position data input manually because the navigation aid has priority over the NCT-196N. The position data is used in the distress file when pressing the DISTRESS button, in the automatic acknowledgement files and as the initial value when editing messages.
3.4 Radiotelephone operations 3.4.1 Turning the Power ON / OFF CAUTION Never touch the antenna terminal, grounding terminal or counterpoise when the JSB-196GM is turned ON. Doing so, may cause electrical shock. Place Antenna Tuner NFC-196, antenna and counterpoise in position where no one touches them.
