![ix CAUTION Do not use this equipment anyplace other than specified. Doing so may cause failure or malfunction. Do not turn the trimmer resistors or the trimmer capacitors on the PCB unit. Doing so may cause failure or malfunction. Do not install the equipment in a place near water or in one with excessive humidity, steam, dust, or soot. Doing so may cause fire, electrical shock, or malfunction. Do not test the distress alert. Doing so may inconvenience local shipping and rescue centers. Do not turn off the equipment when at sea because the SOLAS Convention requires keeping watch on distress and safety frequencies at all times. Always listen to 2187.5 kHz, and 8414.5 kHz, and one or more of the following frequencies; 4207.5 kHz, 6312.0 kHz, 12577.0 kHz, or 16804.5 kHz. In class B mode, it is necessary to keep watch only on 2187.5 kHz. When completely turning off the power to the equipment, turn off the breakers on the power supply. To operate DSC functions of the equipment, the ID numbers assigned to the ship must be registered in advance. If registration is necessary, contact our service center or agents. To install this equipment, contact our service center or agents. Special knowledge on selecting the place where the antenna is to be mounted and setting the ID number (MMSI) assigned to the ship is required in addition to installing the equipment. When sending a distress alert, follow the instructions of the ship's captain or officer in charge. If a false distress alert is transmitted accidentally, select the Cancel menu and transmit the distress cancel referring the guidance displayed on the controller. And then report the false distress alert to a nearby RCC (Rescue Coordination Center/ in Japan, inform the nearest Japan Coast Guard.) Information to be reported: Ship's name, type, nationality, and ID number, the date/time, location and reason why the false distress alert was transmitted. Also the unit model name and manufacture number/date, if possible. To turn off an alarm or clear a display such as a received DSC message, do not press the DISTRESS key. Doing so may cause a false distress alert. (Press the CANCEL key to turn off the alarm.) When sending a drobose call, do NOT press the DISTRESS key. Doing so may cause a false distress alert. (Drobose calls can be sent via the [Call] button displayed on the screen.) A distress acknowledgement or a distress relay call can be transmitted using the option on an active procedure screen, but when sending such a call, follow the instructions of the ship's captain or officer in charge.](https://usermanual.wiki/Japan-Radio/JSS-2250/User-Guide-2169640-Page-11.png)

![xi Sending a Distress Alert CAUTION When sending a distress alert, follow the instructions of the ship's captain or officer in charge. 111... Open the DISTRESS key cover on the NCM-2150 MF/HF CONTROLLER. 222... Press and hold the DISTRESS key for 4 seconds to send the distress alert. When the countdown is finished the screen below on the right is displayed, and after antenna tuning the distress alerts are transmitted. 333... After sending the distress alert, wait for an acknowledgement. The radiotelephone can be used to communicate even while waiting for an acknowledgement on the screen below left. When an acknowledgement is received, press the CANCEL key or ENT to cancel the alarm on the below right screen, and communicate with the station. Unless an acknowledgement is received or the distress alert is cancelled manually, the equipment repeats the distress alert every 3.5 to 4.5 minutes.

If the position and time (UTC) are not displayed automatically for any reason, input them manually at this time. 4) Press and hold the DISTRESS key for 4 seconds to send the distress alert. The rest of the procedure is the same as described above. Terminating a Distress Alert CAUTION If a false distress alert is transmitted accidentally, select the Cancel menu and transmit the distress cancel referring the guidance displayed on the controller. And then report the false distress alert to a nearby RCC (Rescue Coordination Center/ in Japan, inform the nearest Japan Coast Guard.) Information to be reported: Ship's name, type, nationality, and ID number, the date/time, location and reason why the false distress alert was transmitted.

WARNING If a distress alert is received, make sure to inform the ship's captain or officer in charge. Doing so may save the lives of the crews and passengers on the ship in distress. ■ Procedure ■ 111... When a distress alert is received, the distress message is displayed. ¾ The ALM lamp starts blinking, and the receiving alarm gradually grows louder. However, the aural alarm keeps silence if the distress position is not within 500nm, and is not in the polar areas (greater than 70°N/S). ¾ If no procedure exists, starts operating the received message automatically. 222... Press the CANCEL key or ENT to stop the alarm. Then the screen at right is displayed. ¾ Keep watch for at least 5 minutes. Notify the coast station as appropriate. ¾ If received the same distress alert on another frequency again, the right lower screen is displayed. Then pressing ENT on Accept or leaving 10 seconds changes the frequency to 8291.0 kHz for the radiotelephone mode or 8376.5 kHz for the telex mode. ¾ Press FUNC key or ENT* to move the focused screen to the operation control screen and select the following options to handle the procedure. * If the A mark is not displayed, press ENT to activate this procedure. ACK ....... Sends the acknowledgement to the distress alert. RLY ....... Sends the distress relay. INF ........ Indicates the received distress message. FRQ....... Changes the watchkeeping frequency. HLD ....... Makes the procedure on hold. END....... Terminates the procedure. - The distress acknowledgement is normally sent from a coast station. However after consulting with the RCC or a coast station and being directed, it is possible to acknowledge the ship in distress from your own ship. - If the distress alert is not received at 2187.5 kHz, the acknowledgement is inhibited and cannot be sent. - Incase of the radiotelephone specified, after sending the acknowledgement the frequency is set to 2182.0 kHz.
