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) 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) Cover the victim's mouth by opening your
mouth widely, then push your cheek against
the victim's nose, →②
→②→②
→②
or pinch the victim's nose to prevent air from
leaking out of it. →③
→③→③
→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.

3.5.2 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.

Distress Calls
When 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.
The 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".
