<Cautions Before Use>

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 harmless in most op-
erations. 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.)
Though these voltages are totally harmless in most operations, maximum care should be exercised
in servicing, inspecting, and adjusting such electronic apparatus. High voltages on the order of tens
of thousand volts are most likely to cause instant deaths from electrical shocks. At times, even volt-
ages on the order of several hundred volts could lead to electrocution. To defend against electrical
shock hazards, 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 in-
serting your hands into the interiors of the apparatus. Extra protection 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 electrical 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, resulting in unconsciousness and ri-
gidity at worst.
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, arti-
ficial respiration should be continued rhythmically.
(1) Refrain from touching the patient carelessly; the first-aider could suffer from electrical shocks by
himself or herself.
(2) Turn off the power and move the patient apart from the cable gently.
(3) Call or send for a physical or ambulance immediately.
(4) Lay the patient on the back, loosening the necktie, clothes, belts and so on.
(5) a. Feel the patient' 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 patient's pupils.
(6) Opening the patient's mouth, remove artificial teeth, cigarettes, chewing hum, etc. if any. With
the patient's mouth open, stretch the tongue and insert a towel or the like into the mouth to pre-
vent the tongue from being withdrawn into the throat. (If the patient clenches the teeth so tight
that the mouth won't open, user 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.

<Method of First-Aid Treatment>

Treatment to Give When the Patient Has a Pulse Beating but Has Ceased to Breathe
(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.
(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 deep breath.
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 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.
Mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration with the patient's head lifted

① PLift the back part of the patient's head, with one
hand placed on the forehead and the other un-
der the neck ①.
Many patients will have their airways opened by
lifting their head in this way to ease
mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration.
Close the patient's mouth with your mouth, press

your chin against the patient's nose ②.
Alternatively, hold the patient's nose with your

finger to prevent air leak ③.
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.

JAN-3598 ECDIS
Treatment to Give When the Patient Has No Pulse Beating and Has Ceased to Breathe
(Cardiac massage) -Fig.2
(1) If the patient has no pulse beating, with the pupils open and no heartbeat being heard, the pa-
tient has a cardiac arrest and requires immediate artificial respiration.
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, 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
twice. Repeat this sequence.
If two first-aiders are available
Wile one person performs a cardiac massage five times the other should give mouth-to-mouth
artificial respiration once. Repeat this sequence (combined cardiac massage and
mouth-to-mouth artificial 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 giv-
ing him or her coffee, tea or any other hot drink to keep him or her warm.
In either case, leave the judgment to the medical specialist. Understanding from the people
around is essential to speeding up the patient's recovery from mental shocks.

3.1.2.11 Switching ARPA target ON/OFF [ARPA]

When the system has been configured to display target information sent in from ARPA on screen, each press of the
[ARPA] key switches the ARPA target on and off on the chart.
3.1.2.12 Switching radar echo ON/OFF [RADAR]

When the system has been configured to display radar echo on the screen, each press of the [RADAR] key switches
radar echo ON and OFF on the chart. For details on how to adjust radar echo, see 3.2.12.4.
3.1.2.13 Dials for adjusting RADAR echo

[GAIN]: Adjusting sensitivity.
This 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 diffi-
cult 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 maybe miss small targets.
[ECHO]: Adjusting RADAR echo brightness
This dial adjusts the brightness of RADAR echo. Turning the [ECHO] dial to the right increases the brightness
of RADAR echo. Adjust this dial for maximum ease of viewing.
[SEA]: Suppressing sea clutter
This 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.
[RAIN]: Suppressing rain and snow clutter
This 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.

3.1.3 Automatic Sailing

This system calculates the set course (Course to Steer) from the relationship between the scheduled route and the
ship’s position. Automatic sailing along the scheduled route by outputting the course to the autopilot. Automatic

(1) Display of electronic charts accompanying your ship’s progress

When “Auto Load” is set to “On” by menu operation, the system automatically reads electronic charts according to
the ship’s progress. For details on “Auto Load”, see 3.2.7.
(2) Display of a specific electronic chart
To display electronic charts at positions other than your ship’s position, see 3.2.7.
(3) Automatic reading of electronic charts
When “Auto Scale” is on by menu operation, the system display original scale at positions after moving new chart
area.
3.2.2.2 Primary position and secondary position

On JAN-3598, you select one of the navigation methods (e.g. GPS navigation, LORAN or Dead-Reckoning as the
bow position). This is called the primary position (main position) or system position. A secondary position
(auxiliary position) can also be selected independent of the primary position. This system constantly checks how far
the primary and secondary positions are apart to monitor their mutual positions. For details on how to select the
route by the primary and secondary positions, see 3.2.12.3.
(1) Display of primary position in electronic charts
Your ship is displayed by the symbols (a) or (b) at the primary position in electronic charts. Symbol (b) is displayed
at a size proportional to the scale of the currently displayed electronic chart based upon the width and length of the
ship set during installation. Symbols (a) and (b) are switched automatically according to the scale. Display of sym-
bol (b) is switched to when an enlarged scale is selected.

(2) Vector display and heading line at primary position

The COG vector (vector of the vessel’s motion over the ground), HDG vector (vector of the vessel’s motion obtained
from the gyro and log reading) and heading line can be displayed for your ship’s symbol. The COG and HDG vec-
tors can be displayed at lengths proportional to the ship’s current speed in minutes. For example, if the vector length
is set as 5 minutes, a vector with 1-minute notches is displayed. The tip of the vector is the expected position in 5
minutes assuming that the ship sails at the current speed. If the vector length is set to 0 minutes, the vector is always
displayed at the same length regardless of the scale of the electronic chart and ship’s speed.
For details on how to turn vector display ON and OFF, and how to set the vector length, see 3.2.8.

(3) Danger detection vector and guard ring

The JAN-3598 can monitor instances where your ship attempts to cross a preset safety contour or danger area, or in-
stances where a dangerous object enters the guard ring set around your ship. (For details, see 3.2.12.3.) The danger
detection vector and guard ring, can be displayed for monitoring these instances. On the danger detection vector, the
time in minutes can be set to the cross line of the safety contour and the cross line of the danger area. The notches on
the vector and the tip of the vector are the expected time assuming that the ship sails at the current speed. The guard
ring and its radius can be set in miles. For details of settings, see 3.2.12.6.

About Vector Length

COG (vector of the vessel’s motion over the ground) and HDG (Vector) can be set to any length. However, its
maximum length is dependent on the display scale. For example, if the user enters 20 minutes even though the
maximum length in the current display scale is 12 minutes, that length is automatically set to 12 minutes. (Note,
however, that the Vector Length in the menu area is not updated, so the Position menu must be opened to check the
current vector length.) If length of the vector is set to 0min, the vector is displayed at optimal length by the scale.

The messages are selected for display in the application’s active window by the Filter function in the top most menu.
When enabled, the Filter function displays a dialog box in which the following settings can be made:
All - Displays all the messages including canceled messages.

Only not canceled - Displays valid messages only.
Max error percent - Displays only those messages where the level of reception errors (ratio of * characters to the to-
tal number of characters expressed as a percentage) does not exceed the set value. Set value 100 means that all the
messages are displayed. Set value 20 means that the display of messages where the reception error level does not
exceed is 20 percent.
Caution
The Status part of the table may contain a thick violet line. This line graphically represents the level of
reception errors in the message. A line crossing the entire Status part corresponds to 100 percent.

Sorting is carried out by means of the Sort function in the topmost menu. When enabled, the function offers a dialog
box in which one of the following options should be selected.
・By Date - All the messages in the table are sorted by date and time of reception. The last received messages are at
the bottom of the table.
・By Station - All messages in the table are sorted by station. Messages received from a single station are sorted by
type. Single type messages from a single station are stored by number (from the message header). Sorting this
way allows easy identification and cancellation of duplicate messages.

JAN-3598 ECDIS
3.7.7 Viewing Messages

To view a message, position the arrow cursor on it (as this is done, the Num field in the table is color-coded in blue)
and press the [ENTER] key or [SET] key.
The screen displays a window for viewing the message.
The top of the window displays the “REFERENCED DATUM UNKNOWN” warning reminding the user that the
datum of positions contained in the messages is unknown and that, consequently, there may be discrepancies be-
tween the position plotted on the chart and the actual position of an object or an event. Such errors should not gener-
ally exceed the datum offset (e.g. offset corrections for converting European Datum to some other datum, say WGS
84).
The top left of the window displays information on the number which is assigned to the message in the database
(Num), reception date and time as well as the message type and the station it was received from.
The entire right-hand side of the window displays the text of the message. The gray background is used for indicat-
ing those places in the message which have been automatically processed as positions (latitude and longitude). If *
characters (reception error) were encountered in the processing of latitude or longitude, such places are indicated in
the text as a darker gray color. Red is used for indicating the word “CANCEL” which as a rule indicates that there is
some information on the cancellation of the present or some other message(s).

JAN-3598 ECDIS
3.7.8 Determining The Status of a Message

After the message has been viewed, the user can determine its status. The status is changed by checking/unchecking
the following checkboxes at the bottom left of the window.
・Examined - When this checkbox is checked, it means that the user has familiarized him/herself with the text of this
message (in this case, the NewNotCharted message status in the table should change to GENERAL, whereas the
NewAutoCharted message status should change to CHARTED).
・Canceled - When this checkbox is checked, it means that the user has canceled this message (in this case, the
message status in the table should change to CANCELED, while an appropriate cancellation entry appears in the
Canceling/Data field).
・Polygon - When this checkbox is checked, it means that several pairs of coordinates in the message form a dan-
gerous area. Such areas are limited with a line connecting all the points.
・Danger - When this checkbox is checked, it indicates that the message contains information on a danger for the
given vessel’s navigation. By default, all messages are considered to belong to this class. The positions extracted
from such message are handled within Total Navigator system as an isolated danger to navigation (i.e., when a
dangerous area is approached at a distance less than the setting in the ALARM/Danger function a “Nav Danger”
alarm is generated).If “Polygon” is checked, the line linking several positions is handled in Total Navigator as an
unclosed guard zone (i.e., when the line is approached, the “GUARD ZONE” alarm is generated).
To save the settings (including the edited coordinates) press the “OK” button at the bottom left of the window. If you
have finished viewing a message and there is no need to save the settings, press the “Close” button at the bottom left
of the window. In either case, the table is redisplayed.

JAN-3598 ECDIS
3.7.9 Viewing and Editing Extracted Coordinates

Normative documents do not stipulate how the coordinates in the messages are to be specified.
Notwithstanding the fact that the coordinate extraction algorithm covers the “particulars” of most stations, some er-
rors may occur. To check the correctness of coordinates, call up the Navtex Location table of extracted coordinates
by pressing the “EDIT” button at the bottom left of the message window.
To open the table of coordinates, position the arrow cursor on one of the coordinates in the text and press the [EN-
TER] key. In the text and in the table which appears, the coordinate that was used for calling up the table are high-
lighted green. By default, the first coordinate is highlighted. If you select another coordinate by moving the cursor, it
is highlighted in the coordinate table and text of the message. If * characters (error in reception) are encountered
during the processing of a latitude or longitude, such coordinates are shown in the table on a gray background.
In this example mode, the correctness of coordinate extraction can be easily checked. If it is necessary to change
values of a latitude or longitude, position the arrow cursor on the value and double-click the [ENTER] key or press
the [SET] key. The fields are highlighted in blue. Enter the correct coordinate value maintaining the correct number
of digits.
Press the [SET] key to complete the input. The values of the coordinate in the table are displayed in italics indicating
that the field has been edited by the user.

JAN-3598 ECDIS
3.7.10 Marking Off Messages

When working with the table of messages you can select messages for various purposes.
To mark off a message, position the arrow cursor on the message and press the [CANCEL] key. You can highlight a
message during viewing directly in the message viewing window by pressing the “Mark” button at the bottom left of
the window. The number of the marked off messages (“Num” field) is highlighted light blue. Use the same proce-
dure to cancel marking.
As soon as at least one messages is marked off, a detailed “Marked” page is displayed. All the marked off messages
are contained on this page.

3.7.11 Canceling Messages

Cancellation of a single message is effective during its viewing as described above. To cancel several messages in-
stantaneously, mark them off and press the [C] key. An inquiry to confirm the cancellation of several messages ap-
pears.
Select “Yes” to assign the CANCELED status to all the marked off messages. Select “No” to cancel the command.
3.7.12 Searching for Messages

For an easier search, the following search functions that are called from the Search menu are offered:
・Find Word - Searches all the messages containing a certain combination of characters or words. When this function
is enabled, a dialog box for entering the required word or combination is displayed.
・If you set “Global”, the search is made in all messages. If you set “Visible”, only those messages which are acces-
sible in accordance with Filter function settings are included in the search.
After inputting the search string, press “OK” in the bottom part of the dialog box. To cancel a search, press the
“Cancel” button. The system checks the database and marks off all messages in which the preset word or word com-
bination is found.
All marked off messages are grouped in the “Marked” page.
・Last corrected - Searches the last viewed message.
・Previously corrected - Search the last but one viewed message.
・Go to Letter - Searches for message by the number assigned to it in the database. When enabled, this function dis-
plays a dialog box for entering the message number in the database. After entering the number, press the “OK”
button.

JAN-3598 ECDIS
3.7.13 Printing Messages

If necessary, the message can be printed by means of the Print command.
This application offers the following three options:
・Printing the current message (on which the cursor is positioned in the table)
・Printing all marked off messages. All marked off messages are printed out in the order they were available in on the
“Marked” page
・Printing a currently viewed message. To print, press the “Print” button at the bottom left of the message window.
The printout format is the same as the ordinary printout of a Navtex service message receiver.
3.7.14 Viewing the Operations Log

Use the Stock command to display that Navtex Stock window which provides viewing access to the work database.
This window contains information on the reception of all the messages, enabling/disabling of reception, canceled
messages, correction of marked off positions, and saving of the work database on the disk.
The View command allows you to select the categories of entries for displaying: DataBase (work database), Correc-
tion (correction of marked off positions), and Log (log of the application’s operation).

JAN-3598 ECDIS
3.7.15 Selecting the Database Update Mode

The Option/AutoRenew function allows you to select the mode for reading the database. The active AutoRenew
function (“v” symbol appears in the menu) an automatic mode of reading is set whereby the database is re-read after
the reception of each message. When this function is disabled, the “Renew” command appears in the top menu
which allows re-reading of the database when the operator commands it.
3.7.16 Working with Applications by Direct Access from the System

During operation, all positions automatically extracted from the
messages or entered by the user are shown in the form of an orange
“W” mark. Several positions in a message can be connected by a
line if the Polygon checkbox is checked.
To display a window for viewing a message and reading its text,
select the INFO function. Position the cursor on the message mark
and press the [ENTER] key or [SET] key. The screen displays a
window for viewing a message.
If several messages match the position, a part of the message table
(Master page) appears.
Select the required message, or view all the messages one by one.
The procedures for determining the message’s status or correcting the coordinates are similar to those used in the
work with Navtex Viewer application. (See above.)
After completing work with messages, press the “Close” button at the bottom left of the message viewing window.
The screen displays a part of the message table (Master page). Select the “Return” command in the top menu to re-
turn the control.

JAN-3598 ECDIS
3.7.17 Displaying Positions and Areas

Marks corresponding to positions may be one of two types. From the way the mark looks you can determine if the
message has been viewed or not. The position of a new message, not yet viewed by the user (Examined checkbox
unchecked) will look on the NS screen as follows:
The position of a message viewed by the user (Examined checkbox checked) looks different as follows:

JAN-3598 ECDIS
A message containing several positions is shown in the form of a polygon:
During reception, the Polygon checkbox is automatically checked for all messages. If the first viewing of the text
has shown that it does not contain several position, uncheck the Polygon checkbox.
3.7.18 Processing of Positions During monitoring of Navigational Safety

Messages for which the Danger status has been determined (by default, all messages are considered to belong to this
class) are processed during monitoring of navigational safety. Two types of position processing are implemented:
・Positions extracted from a message are processed as an isolated dangers to navigation (that is, as the message mark
is approached at a distance less than that set in ALARM/Danger function, the “Nav Danger” alarm is generated).
・When the “Polygon” checkbox is checked, the line connecting several positions is processed in this system as an
unclosed guard zone (that is, when this line is approached, the “GUARD ZONE” alarm is generated).
