1. INTRODUCTION
1.3 Equipment DescriptionRegulations require that all equipment be powered while the vessel is underway.
SSB Radiotelephone
For ship-ship and ship-station radio communications in the MF/HF band (1.6 to 26.175 MHz), the main communications modes are;
• Voice communications (J3E) via the handset
• DSC communications (J2B) by the MF/HF
• Telex communications by the NBDP terminal (J2B)
DSCDSC function is incorporated in SSB Radiotelephone. Below are its DSC main func-tions.
• Distress alert: Transmit the distress alert via the SSB Radiotelephone.
• Watches DSC distress and safety frequencies. The MF/HF DSC receives distress alert from vessel in distress and all ships message (safety and urgent message) from ship or coast station.
• All Ships Call: For urgent situation on own ship (for example, request for medical assistance).
• Individual Call: Place a call to a specific ship or coast station.
NBDP terminal unitThe NBDP terminal unit provides Telex communications with coast station over the MF/HF band via the SSB radiotelephone. Furthermore, it can receive MSI (Maritime Safety Information) messages via the SSB radiotelephone (Scan reception).
Note: Note: NBDP terminal unit is not incorporated in the dual Inmarsat C type radio rack console.
Inmarsat-C Mobile Earth Station
Provides distress and general telex communications for mobile and fixed terrestrial subscribers in the Inmarsat-C communications network. Telex messages are pro-cessed by what is known as store-and-forward telex. A telex message transmitted by you arrives at a coast station where it is stored temporarily and then delivered to the subscriber specified. (Full duplex communications are not possible.)

1. INTRODUCTION
AC-DC Power Supply
The AC-DC power supply consists of a battery charger and two types of AC-DC power supply units (one PR-850AR and up to five PR-240) which can accept both AC and DC powers. If main AC power failure occurs, auxiliary DC power (battery) provides power to the equipment shown below, for the amount of time stipulated by radio reg-ulations.
• SSB radiotelephone
• NBDP terminal unit
• Inmarsat-C
• VHF
• GPS receiver (except NAVTEX)
Printer
Two printers are supplied and one is dedicated to the Inmarsat-C. The other printer is shared by up to four units: MF/HF DSC, NBDP Terminal, and external VHF DSC (max-imum two sets, option). It is automatically connected to one of those equipment on a first-come-first-served basis. For example, if the MF/HF DSC is used (message trans-mission or reception), the printer is automatically connected to the MF/HF DSC and disconnects itself from other equipment.

3. CleaningThe battery and the area around it should always be clean and dry. Clean the bat-tery case with a water-moistened cloth. Do not use organic solvents, thinner, gas-oline, benzine or alcohol to clean the battery. (They may crack the case.) For heavy dirt, clean the case with white kerosene.
4. Environmental conditions
• Keep the battery out of direct sunlight.
• Coat the nuts and bolts which tighten the battery contacts with anticorrosive paint. Check the battery once a year, retighten nuts and bolts if necessary.
Dimmer knob
Turns on the desk lamp and adjusts lamp brilliance, and is located at the top of the right-hand side console. The desk lamp does not light during AC power failure; use the emergency light instead.
BATTERY CHARGER switch (Flooded lead-acid battery)
Turns the battery charger on/off.
• AUTO: Automatically turns on the battery charger when the battery voltage is below 25.0 VDC and turns it off when the voltage exceeds 28.0 VDC. While the vessel is underway, set the switch in this position.
• OFF: Disconnects the charger from the radio battery.
• MANUAL: Charges the battery manually.
Note: When the charging current falls below 2A, wait for about 10 hours and then turn off the switch. (For details, see the manual for the lead-acid battery.)
1. Charging the batteryBefore operating the radio, check the voltage and current of the battery. When the BATTERY CHARGER on the Control Panel is set to AUTO, the battery voltage is kept between 25.0 VDC and 28.0 VDC. If the BATTERY CHARGER switch is kept in the OFF position for a long time the voltage may fall below 24 VDC. In this case, charge the battery as follows.
