CAUTIONS
RWARNING! NEVER connect the controller to an AC
outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
RWARNING NEVER transmit a distress call when
your vessel does not need immediate help. Distress calls can
be used only in times of emergency.
NEVER connect the controller to a power source of more
than 16 V DC. Such a connection will ruin the controller.
NEVER place the controller where normal operation of the
ship may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
CE Versions of the DS-100 which display the “CE”
symbol on the serial number seal, comply with the
essential requirements of the European Radio and
Telecommunication Terminal Directive 1999/5/EC.
AVOID using or placing the controller in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above +60°C
(+140°F).
KEEP the controller out of the reach of children.
KEEP the antenna cable and DC power cable as far away
as possible from electrical pumps, generators and other electronic instruments to prevent instrument malfunctions.
KEEP the controller and microphone at least 1 meter away
from your vessel’s magnetic navigation compass.
DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzene or alcohol
when cleaning, as they can damage the terminal unit surfaces.
This warning symbol indicates that this equipment
operates in non-harmonised frequency bands and/or
may be subject to licensing conditions in the country
of use. Be sure to check that you have the correct
version of this radio, or the correct programming for
this radio, to comply with national licensing requirements.

D When no acknowledgement is received
When no acknowledgement is received the unit will beep
every one second. In this case, the controller automatically
transmits the distress call again every 3.5 to 4.5 minutes.
• A distress relay call may be received after several minutes from another ship if acknowledgement cannot be received from a coast station directly.
CAUTION: DO NOT push [CLR] while waiting for an acknowledgement, otherwise the distress call repeat will be
cancelled, and a distress acknowledgement is automatically transmitted with your own MMSI.
Use the [CLR] key only when you want to cancel repeated
transmission.
D After receiving an acknowledgement call
The following should be commenced with your voice transmission after receiving a distress acknowledgement from a
coast station (or another ship).
• “MAY DAY”
• “This is .........(your ship name)”
• The 9-digit identity AND the call sign (or other identification of the ship).
• The ship’s position if the DSC distress does not include it.
• The nature of the distress and assistance required.
