20°
Deviation latitude (DLAT)=10°
10°
W E
120° 170°
S Deviation longitude (LONG)=50°
First, select the direction from N.E. (North-East), N.W. (North-West), S.E. (South-East), and S.W. (South-
West). In this example, the direction is N.E.
PARTY AD ：N E DLAT LONG ／
Next, enter 20°, 120°, making this latitude 20° and longitude 120°.
PARTY AD ：N20E120 DLAT LONG ／
In addition, as the deviation latitude (DLAT) and deviation longitude (LONG) are, respectively, 10° and 50°,
input 1050..

3.5.4 Other Functions
(1) Frequency scanning
When the JSB-196/196GM Radiotelephone is connected, scanning*1 reception among the six specified
frequencies is available. When the NCT-196N automatic acknowledgement setting*2 is ON and a message
requiring acknowledgment is received*3, the acknowledgement message is transmitted on a transmit frequency
that is paired with the reception frequency.
This section describes how to set up the scanning function.
*1：The selected reception frequency (scanning frequency) is switched at intervals of about 0.3 sec.
*2：See "● AUTO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT SETUP" in Section 3.5.4 (4), "Other Settings."
*3：Indicates that the "EOS" of the message compiled in steps (1) to (11) of Section 3.5.3, "Transmitting Messages" is set to
ACK RQ (acknowledgement required).
● Starting and stopping scanning
The scanning frequency must be specified before starting or stopping scanning. Refer to "Specifying the scanning
frequency" below.
Procedure
1. Press , and then (SCAN).
Scanning starts for the specified frequencies.
2. Press , and then (SCAN).
Scanning stops.
● Specifying the scanning frequency
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.
When the mark is displayed on the screen, no printer is connected to the NCT-196.

3.6 NBDP operations
The NCT-196N DSC/NBDP MODEM has several communication methods in telex (TLX) mode as NBDP function.
Previously created message files or keyboard-typed messages can be sent during the communication. All of
operations are performed using NDZ-127J DTE, and the communication methods and other settings for TLX mode
are described in this chapter. (Regarding the MODE selection for TLX, see “4.3.2 MODE change to TLX”.)
3.6.1 NBDP Settings
Before operations in TLX mode, setup the NBDP functions using SYSTEM Î NBDP setup menu of the
NDZ-127J DTE. The following screen appeared by selecting the menu item.
Each parameter is set as follows:

Collective FEC receiving : Press Enter key to change ON/OFF.
Internal alarm : Press Enter key to change ON/OFF.
Time duration for AUTO : Press Enter key and setup the time in the input window.
Restart : Press Enter key to change ON/OFF.
Finite start/restart : Press Enter key to change ON/OFF.
Transmitter pre-key time : Press Enter key and setup the time in the input window.
After these settings, select the [Save] button or [Cancel] button to finish this setup.
The above parameters showed “Fixed” have already been set and are impossible to be changed.
The meanings of the above items are as follows;
・Max. FEC error rate :The limit value of error rate to continue to receive CFEC/
SFEC. When the error rate is beyond the value due to the
noisy radio circuit condition or any other signals, the
MODEM stops the receiving and return to stand-by.
・Max. automatic call series : The limit value of retrying the CALL mode sequence. The
interval to retry is 15 minutes respectively.

・
Finite start/restart : ON - The MODEM returns to stand-by when the
times of calling a partner station are reached to
128 in ARQ mode.
OFF - The MODEM continues to call a partner station
even if the times of calling are reached to 128
in ARQ mode.
・Transmitter pre-key time : Adjustment of timing from KEY ON to signal output for the
transmitter electrical specification. It is also available to

3.8.8 How to Attend to Error Detection
There are two types of errors. When an error is detected, a beep sounds, and the P.OUT lamp blinks 5 times.
(1) Paper discharge error
When the "out of paper" state is not detected, even though an 18 inch line feed procedure is performed, a paper
discharge error will result. The P.OUT lamp remains blinking until the error state is canceled.
When this happens, manually pull the paper out of the printer, or remove the paper automatically by using LF or
FF , then press ONLINE .
(2) Paper sending error
If the paper is not properly set, even though a 10 inch line feed procedure is performed, a paper sending error
results. In addition, if this error happens when the printing instruction is entered, the P.OUT lamp remains blinking
until the error state is canceled.
When this happens, follow the procedure below.
Procedure
1. Press ONLINE switch.
The printer is set to an off-line state.
2. Press FF switch, set the paper, then press ONLINE .
The printer is set to an on-line state.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
The performance and longevity of this equipment depend on careful maintenance. To maintain the best
performance, the following periodic inspections are highly recommended.
(1) Keep the power supply voltage within the specified value.
(2) Know the condition of normal status when the equipment is properly functioning. Keep comparing the
current status to the normal status to immediately detect any malfunctions.
WARNING
If you remove a unit, be sure to store it in a non-conductive bag. If you wrap
It up with materials such as aluminum foil, the back-up power supply may S
hort circuit and the ICs may be damaged.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside this equipment. Inspection or
maintenance by unauthorized persons may result in fire or electric shock.
For inspection and maintenance, contact JRC or its authorized agents.
CAUTION
Do not turn the trimmer resistors or trimmer capacitors on the PCB unit (they are preset
at the factory). Doing so may cause failure or malfunction.
Leave installation of this equipment to JRC or our agents. Installation by an
unauthorized person may lead to malfunction.
This chapter describes about the JSS-296 Radio Equipment as a whole. So if further information
is required, see the specialized instruction manuals such as the JSB-196GM Radiotelephone or NCT-196N

No. Item Maintenance and inspection
1 Cleaning
Gently clean the surface of the panel, knobs, switches, and upper/bottom cover with
a soft cloth or silicon oil.
Remove dust in the unit using a brush or vacuum cleaner. No oil is needed because
this unit has no moving mechanisms inside.
2Looseness
of parts
Inspect for looseness and correctly tighten the following:
screws, nuts, knobs, switches, volume pots, connectors and relays inserted into
sockets.
3Fuse If the power source fuse is blown, be sure to inspect the cause before replacing the
blown fuse with a new one.
4 PCB Unit
Remove screws mounting the unit, demount the unit from the main chassis, and
inspect the unit for discoloration and parching of components. To exchange parts,
call our service center or agents.
If you remove the PCB unit, be sure to store it in a non-conductive bag. If you wrap it up with materials such
as aluminum, the buck-up power supply may short circuit and the IC may be damaged.
