Cautions for High Voltage
High voltages, ranging from several hundreds to tens of thousands of volts, are used in
electronic apparatus, such as radio and radar instruments. These voltages are totally harm-
less in most operations. However, touching a component inside the unit is very dangerous.
(Any person other than authorized service engineers should not service, inspect, or adjust the
unit.)
High voltages on the order of tens of thousand volts are most likely to cause instant deaths
from electrical shocks. At times, even voltages on the order of several hundred volts could
lead to electrocution. To defend against electrical shock hazards, don't put your hand into the
inside of apparatus. When you put in a hand unavoidably in case of urgent, it is strongly
suggested to turn off the power switch and allow the capacitors, etc. to discharge with a wire
having its one end positively grounded to remove residual charges. Before you put your hand
into the inside of apparatus, make sure that internal parts are no longer charged. Extra protec-
tion is ensured by wearing dry cotton gloves at this time. Another important precaution to
observe is to keep one hand in your pocket at a time, instead of using both hands at the same
time.
It is also important to select a secure footing to work on, as the secondary effects of electri-
cal shock hazards can be more serious. In the event of electrical shocks, disinfect the burnt
site completely and obtain medical care immediately.

Precautions for Rescue of Victim of


Electric Shock
When a victim of electric shock is found, turn off the power source and ground the circuit
immediately. If this is impossible, move the victim away from the unit as quick as possible
without touching him or her with bare hands. He or she can safely be moved if an insulating
material such as dry wood plate or cloth is used.
Breathing may stop if current flows through the respiration center of brain due to electric
shock. If the electric shock is not large, breathing can be restored by artificial respiration. A
victim of electric shock looks pale and his or her pulse may become very weak or stop, result-
ing in unconsciousness and rigidity at worst. It is necessary to perform first aid immediately.
Method of First-Aid Treatment

Precautions for First-Aid Treatments


Whenever a person is struck by an electrical shock, give the patient artificial respiration
immediately on the spot, unless it is absolutely necessary to move the patient for safety's
sake. Once started, artificial respiration should be continued rhythmically.

(1) Refrain from touching the patient carelessly as a result of the accident; the first-aider
could suffer from electrical shocks by himself or herself.

(2) Turn off the power calmly and certainly, and move the patient apart from the cable
gently.

(3) Call or send for a physician or ambulance immediately, or ask someone to call doctor.

(4) Lay the patient on the back, loosening the necktie, clothes, belts and so on.

(5) (a) Feel the patient's pulse.


(b) Check the heartbeat by bringing your ear close to the patient's heart.
(c) Check for respiration by bringing your face or the back of your hand to the patient's face.
(d) Check the size of patient's pupils.

(6) Opening the patient's mouth, remove artificial teeth, cigarettes, chewing gum, etc. if
any. With the patient's mouth open, stretch the tongue and insert a towel or the like
into the mouth to prevent the tongue from being withdrawn into the throat. (If the
patient clenches the teeth so tight that the mouth won't open, use a screwdriver or
the like to force the mouth open and then insert a towel or the like into the mouth.)

(7) Wipe off the mouth to prevent foaming mucus and saliva from accumulating.
Treatment to Give When the Patient Has a
Pulse Beating but Has Ceased to Breathe
Performing mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration - Fig. 1
(1) Bend the patient's face backward until it is directed to look back. (A pillow may
be placed under the neck.)
(2) Pull up the lower jaw to open up the airway. (to spread the airway)
(3) Pinching the patient's nose, breathe deeply and blow your breath into the
patient's mouth strongly, with care to close it completely. Then, move your
mouth away and take a deep breath, and blow into his or her mouth. Repeat
blowing at 10 to 15 times a minute (always with the patient's nostrils closed).
(4) Continue artificial respiration until natural respiration is restored.
(5) If the patient's mouth won't open easily, insert a pipe, such as one made of
rubber or vinyl, into either nostril. Then, take a deep breath and blow into the
nostril through the pipe, with the other nostril and the mouth completely closed.
(6) The patient may stand up abruptly upon recovering consciousness. Keep the
patient lying calmly, giving him or her coffee, tea or any other hot drink (but not
alcoholic drink) to keep him or her warm.

Meouth-to-mouth artificial respiration with the patient's head lifted

q (1) Lift the back part of the patient's head.


Support the forehead with one of
your hand and the neck with the
other hand. q.
Many patients will have their air-
ways opened by lifting their head
in this way to ease mouth-to-
mouth artificial respiration.
w (2) Closing the patient's mouth with
your mouth, press your cheek
against the patient's nose w.
Alternatively, hold the patient's
nose with your finger to prevent
air leak e.

e (3) Blowing air into the patient's lungs.


Blow air into the patient's lungs
until chest is seen to rise. The
first 10 breaths must be blown as
fast as possible.

Treatment to Give When the Patient Has No
Pulse Beating and Has Ceased to Breathe
Performing cardiac massage - Fig. 2
If the patient has no pulse beating, with the pupils open and no heartbeat being
heard, the patient has a cardiac arrest and requires immediate artificial respiration.
Continue this until a medical specialist arrives, and follow his or her directions after
that.

(1) Putting one hand on about the lower one third of the patient's ribs and the other
hand over the back of the first, with your elbow fully stretched (with bended
elbow, you cant press to the extent the patients ribs are depressed), apply
your body weight to the hands to press the patient's body until it is depressed
about 2 cm (Repeat this about 50 times a minute). (Cardiac massage.)
(2) If only one first-aider is available, perform a cardiac massage about 15 times
and then give mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration 2 times. Repeat this sequence.
If two first-aiders are available, while one person performs a cardiac massage
15 times, and the other should give mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration 2 times.
Repeat this sequence (combined cardiac massage and mouth-to-mouth artifi-
cial respiration method).
(3) Check the patient's pupils and feel the pulse from time to time. When the pupils
are restored to normal and the pulse begins to beat regularly, stop treating and
keep the patient calm while giving him or her coffee, tea or any other hot drink
to keep him or her warm while watching him or her carefully.

(3) Radar image adjustment (on the operation panel)

Note:
If menu panel adjustment ([(4) View] -[(0) Option] - [(1) Radar] Rader Option panel) is se-
lected, the following dials do not work. In this case, change the menu setting to activate the dials.
For details, see 3.27.1 Setting Radar Options.

[VIDEO]: Adjusting the brightness of radar echoes


The [VIDEO] dial adjusts the brightness of radar echoes. Turning the [VIDEO] dial to the right increases the
brightness. Adjust to the best brightness to view radar echoes.

[RAIN]: Suppressing rain and snow clutter


The [RAIN] dial suppresses clutter caused by rain and snow. Turning the [RAIN] dial (ANTI-CLUTTER
RAIN dial) to the right enhances the contours of targets that are hidden in images of rain and snow.
Take care not to over-adjust this dial. Otherwise, you may miss small targets. This dial also reduces sea clutter.
So, using both the [RAIN] and [SEA] dials is more effective. Normally, keep this dial turned as far as possible
to the left.

[SEA]: Suppressing sea clutter


The [SEA] dial lowers the reception sensitivity in near distances to reduce sea clutter. Turning the [SEA] dial
(ANTI-CLUTTER SEA dial) to the right increases the effect of suppressing sea clutter.
Take care not to over-adjust this dial. Otherwise, you may miss small targets like buoys and small boats.

[GAIN]: Adjusting sensitivity


The [GAIN] dial adjusts the reception sensitivity of RADAR echo. Turning the [GAIN] dial to the right
increases the reception sensitivity and widens the distances in which RADAR echo can be observed.
Take care not to over-adjust this dial, as reception noise on screen increases. This worsens the contrast and
makes it more difficult to tell the difference between targets and RADAR echo.
Alternatively, turning the [GAIN] dial to the left to view near distances or screens containing closely packed
targets, decreases the reception sensitivity making targets easier to view.
Take care not to over-adjust this dial. Otherwise, you may miss small targets.

latitude, waypoints are added for limiting the GC leg to the maximum latitude.

When the GC leg between WP2 and WP3


exceeds the maximum latitude (60N)

60N

When the maximum latitude is 60 or more, a GC leg exceeding 60 can be input.

WP3 and WP4 are added for limiting the


GC leg to the maximum latitude (60N).
(RL leg between WP3 and WP4)
60N

Waypoints are added at intersections between the GC leg and 60, so a leg exceeding 60 is not input.

Chart Editing

This chapter describes how to create user charts and how to manually update charts.

User Charts
User charts can be created and displayed on other charts. User chart information contains various objects (symbols,
lines, areas, and texts). User charts can also be edited and updated. Also, you can merge multiple charts together to
create one user chart.
The following figures show how to use user charts:

Example 1: Example 2: Example 3:

User Chart 2 You can merge as one


User Chart 1 User Chart 2
User Chart 1 user chart.
Chart Chart
Chart

How to Display the User Chart:


To display the user chart, see 3.10 Displaying a User Chart.
In the normal menu
Select [MENU] - [(2) Chart] - [(5) User Charts] - [(1) Select User Chart] in the order.

Manual Update
Objects (symbols, lines, areas, and texts) can be manually updated. When you save data after manually updating
the objects, there will be a panel for you to enter the issue date of a notice to mariners. Enter the date. You can
check the issue dates of a notice to mariners by using S-57/C-MAP/ARCS information.
Unlike User Chart Edit operation, Manual Update operation links objects directly to the chart. Therefore, the ob-
jects updated manually in the chart cannot be deleted as desired, but can only be hidden from the chart. For the
method of hiding the objects, see 5.5.3 Hiding Objects (Only during the Manual Update Operation).
When all the following conditions are met, objects updated manually are deleted automatically from the chart.
The chart having objects updated manually has been updated in Chart Portfolio.
3 months or more have passed since the chart was updated manually.
The objects to be deleted are hidden from the chart.

Note:
ARCS and C-MAP Ed.3 charts cannot be updated manually.
The objects updated manually in S-57, S-63 or C-MAP Ed.2 chart can be used commonly in those
charts.

Before starting automatic sailing, be sure to check the safety of the route and
crossing safety contour.
Otherwise, accidents may result.

When this system is connected to an autopilot, a set course is calculated from the scheduled route and ships
position. By outputting the set course to the autopilot, automatic sailing along the scheduled route is possible.

Note:
Automatic sailing is not permitted while charts are displayed in multi view mode.
And exiting Navigation & Planning is not permitted during automatic sailing.
