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. To circumvent accidents, you should avoid contact with the

internal parts of these devices at all costs. If contact is inevitable as in the case of an emergency, you must

switch off the devices and ground a terminal in order to discharge the capacitors. After making certain that

all the electricity is discharged, only then can you insert your hand into the device. Wearing cotton gloves

and putting your free hand in your pocket, in order not to use both hands simultaneously, are also very

good methods of shock prevention.

Quite often, an injury occurs by secondary factors, therefore it is necessary to choose a sturdy and level

working surface. If someone is electrocuted it is necessary to thoroughly disinfect the affected area and

seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Cautions concerning treatment of electrocution victims

When you find an electrocution victim, you must first switch off the machinery and ground all circuits. If you

are unable to cut off the machinery, move the victim away from it using a non-conductive material such as

dry boards or clothing.

When someone is electrocuted, and the electrical current reaches the breathing synapses of the central

nervous system inside the brain, breathing stops. If the victim's condition is stable, he or she can be

administered artificial respiration. An electrocution victim becomes very pale, and their pulse can be very

weak or even stop, consequently losing consciousness and becoming stiff.

Administration of first aid is critical in this situation.

ii

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.).

(4) Lay the victim on his or her back and loosen any constrictive clothing (a tie, or belt).

(5) (a) Check the victim's pulse.

(b) Check for a heartbeat by pressing your ear against the victim's chest.

(c) Check if the victim is breathing by putting the back of your hand or face near the victim's face.

(d) Check the pupils of the eyes.

(6) Open the victim's mouth and remove any artificial dentifrice, food or chewing gum. Leave the mouth

opened and flatten the tongue with a towel or by putting something into the mouth to prevent the

victim's tongue from obstructing the throat. (If he or she is clenching their teeth and it is difficult to

open the mouth, use a spoon or the like to pry open the mouth.)

(7) Continually wipe the mouth to prevent the accumulation of saliva.

iii

☆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).

(4) Pay attention to the victim to notice if he or she starts to breath. If breathing returns, stop

resuscitation.

(5) If it is impossible to open the victim's mouth, put something like a plastic straw or vinyl tube into one of

the nostrils then blow air in while covering the mouth and the other nostril.

(6) Occasionally, when the victim comes back to consciousness, they immediately try to stand up.

Prevent this and keep them in a laying position. Give them something warm to drink and be sure that

they rest (do not give them any alcohol).

Administering artificial respiration by raising the head.

①

①①

①(1) Raise the back of the head, then place one

hand on the forehead and place the other

hand under the neck. →①

→①→①

→①

Most victims open their mouth when doing this,

making "mouth to mouth" resuscitation easier.

②

②②

②(2) Cover the victim's mouth by opening your

mouth widely, then push your cheek against

the victim's nose, →②

→②→②

or pinch the victim's nose to prevent air from

leaking out of it. →③

→③→③

③③

③(3) Completely exhale into the lungs.

Exhale into the lungs until the chest is inflates.

You have to blow as rapidly as possible for the

first 10 times.

("Mouth to mouth" resuscitation) Figure 1.

iv

☆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.) Press the diaphragm with your body weight

until the chest sinks about 2 cm (about 50 times per minute).

(2) If administering first aid when alone:

Perform the heart massage about 15 times then blow in twice. Repeat this routine.

If administering first aid with two people:

One person performs the heart massage 5 times, and the other person blows air in once. Repeat this

routine. (Heart massage and "mouth to mouth" resuscitation used together.)

(3) Constantly check the pupils and the pulse, if the pupils become normal and the pulse steadies, keep

them in a laying position and give them something warm to drink, be sure that they rest (do not give

them any alcohol.). In any case you have to entrust major decision making to a doctor. Having

understanding people around is essential to the victim's recovery from the mental shock of

electrocution.

3.3 Setting Position and Time Data

3.3.1 Setting the Internal Clock(DATE & TIME EDIT)

The built-in clock of the NCT-196N can be set the date (year, month, and day) and time manually. However if the

NCT-196N is connected to a navigation aid, the manual input data is overwritten because the navigation aid has

priority over the NCT-196N internal clock. The standard time is UTC but it is possible to input time difference from

the UTC and display the current local time (LT). Note that in case of no navigation aid connecting, time data should

be set to the present time manually and periodically because the time data input manually is treated as invalid data

and deleted after 23.5 hours past.

Procedure

1. Check that the "DSC watching" screen is displayed.

If the "DSC watching" screen is not displayed, press 3 times in succession to switch to the

"DSC watching" screen.

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. For the "SETUP" screen, please see Section 3.3.1, " Setting the Internal Clock (DATE&TIME EDIT)",

steps 1 to 4. Note that in case of no navigation aid connecting, the position data should be set manually and

periodically because it is treated as invalid and deleted after 23.5 hours past.

Procedure

1. From the "SETUP" screen, press

and then press

.

The "POSITION EDIT" screen is displayed.

2. Enter the ship's position.

・Use the cursor keys ( and ) to switch between "NE", "NW", "SE", and "SW".

3.5.2 Receiving Messages

(1) Receiving a Message

When a message is received, it is displayed on the screen and printed out on the printer, if a printer is connected.

In addition, depending on its content, the message is classified as either a distress/urgent message or a general

message and the corresponding panel lamp blinks. Simultaneously, a buzzer sounds to indicate which type of

message has been received. The message is then saved as either a distress/urgent message or a general

message.

The NCT-196N stores up to 20 received distress/urgent messages and up to 20 general messages. When 20

messages have been stored, the oldest message is deleted each time a new message is received.

In case of distress/urgent messages, newly received messages are not stored if a message with the same content

already exists in memory. However, if any error occurs while receiving the message, both of the messages

containing the error and the error-free message are stored.

In case of general messages, the NCT-196N stores both the original message and the new message even if they

have the same content as each other.

Distress/urgent messages ･････Messages in "DISTRESS" format or for which the category is

"DISTRESS" or "URGENCY".

General messages ･･･････････Messages other than distress/urgent messages.

Print received

○Distress Calls

①When transmitting without editing and using only the key, the message with the contents

previously compiled in the distress setting is transmitted. This message is transmitted five times

successively at 3.5- to 4.5-minute intervals.

②The following are two ways of distress transmitting after editing:

1. Transmitting details of distress conditions

This transmission is made according to 3.5.3 (3), "DISTRESS CALL." The nature of the distress, the

ship's position, time, and communication method are transmitted. The message is transmitted five times

successively at 3.5- to 4.5-minute intervals.

This is the primary method.

2. This transmission includes INDIVIDUAL, ALL SHIPS, GROUP, and AREA, and it is enabled when

"DISTRESS" is selected for the CATEGORY. The contents of the message are the same as other

messages. This message is transmitted only once.

○DISTRESS RELAY CALL

This transmission is made according to 3.5.3 (4), "DISTRESS RELAY CALL." The message to be

transmitted can be edited by selecting "DISTRESS" for FORMAT and "DISTRESS RELAY" for CATEGORY

in individual or all ships calls. However, the contents are the same. The received message is edited so that it

is the same as the received distress message. It is then transmitted to a coastal station. This message is

transmitted only once.

○DISTRESS ACK CALL

This transmission is made according to 3.5.3 (2), "ACKNOWLEDGEMENT CALL (2-2)." The message is not

created automatically because the contents need to be confirmed. The acknowledgement message is

edited manually and then transmitted. It is necessary to edit the message to be transmitted according to the

contents of the received message. This message is transmitted only once by using key.

ATTENTION

When a distress message is received, make the transmission according to

"RECEPTION OF DSC DISTRESS ALERT".
