3. The audio alarm sounds; press the [CANCEL] key to silence the alarm.

4. Communicate with the coast station via radiotelephon e as below. (In the dual control

unit system, communication can be done fr om any control unit , after the distress alert has been transmitted. To restore priority to the #1 control unit after completion of distress communications, turn it off and on again.)

a) Say MAYDAY three times. b) Say “This is …” name of your vessel and your call sign three times. c) Give nature of distress and assistance needed. d) Give description of your vessel (type, number of persons onboard, etc.) and any other

information which may aid in rescue.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER

Never touch the SSB antenna, antenna coupler or lead-in insulator when the SSB radiotelephone is transmitting.

High voltage which will cause death or serious injury is present at the locations shown in the illustration below when the SSB radiotelephone is transmitting.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Do not open the equipment.

Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment.

Immediately turn off the power at the switchboard if water leaks into the equipment or something is dropped in the equipment.

Continued use of the equipment can cause fire or electrical shock. Contact a FURUNO agent for service.

Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.

Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result.

Immediately turn off the power at the switchboard if the equipment is emitting smoke or fire.

Continued use of the equipment can cause fire or electrical shock. Contact a FURUNO agent for service.

Do not operate the equipment with wet hands.

Electrical shock can result.

CAUTION

Use the proper fuse.

Use of the wrong fuse can cause serious damage to the equipment and void the warranty.

CAUTION

Do not operate the [DISTRESS] button except in case of a life-endangering situation on your vessel.

If the distress alert is accidentally transmitted, contact the nearest coast station and inform them of the accidental transmission as follows:

a) Ship's name b) Ship's call sign and DSC number c) Position at time of transmission d) Time of transmission

WARNING LABEL

A warning label is attached to the transceiver unit and a danger label is attached to the antenna coupler. Do not remove the labels. If a label is missing or illegible, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer about replacement.

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock, do not remove cover. No user-serviceable parts inside.

1.7 Automatic Acknowledge On/Off

The automatic acknowledge feature of the DSC/watch receiver automatically transmits the acknowledge back (ACK BQ) signal to the sending station when an individual, position or polling call is received. (For position and polling calls, respective item on the AUTO ACK menu must be t urned on to enable automatic acknowledge.) Automat ic acknowledge can be turned on or off at the DSC standby screen by the [5/ ACK/SQ ] key. The message ACK: AUTO or ACK: MANUAL appears at the bottom of the DSC standby screen with each press of the key.

Note 1:

Note 2:

1.10 Power Supply Unit (option)

The control unit works directly on 24 VDC or through a Power Supply Unit on AC mains supply (115 or 230 VAC). The power supply unit is type PR-300, supplying 24 VDC power (20 A) to the FS-1570 or type PR-850A, supplying 24 VDC (40 A) to the FS-2570. Both 115/230 VAC and 24 VDC power can be connected simultaneously. In this case, the system normally operates on the AC mains supply and when AC power is lost, the PSU automatically switches to the DC power source.

This power supply arrangement satisfies the GMDSS requirements. The FS-1570/FS-2570 can be operated directly from 24 VDC without a power supply.

OVEN power supp ly: The crystal oven is always powered even when the Power Switch

is OFF, provided the mains switchboard is turned on.

AC and DC power switches

Both AC and DC power switches on the PSU can be always kept on. (These switches are provided to turn off the power supply for maintenance.) The control unit may be turned on or off with the PSU kept on.
