 Safety Cautions 

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 operations. However, touching a component inside the unit is very dangerous. (Any

person other than authorized service engineers should not maintain, 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 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.

It is necessary to perform first aid immediately.

Breathing may stop if current flows through the respiration centre 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 rigidity at worst.

 Emergency Measures 

Method of First-Aid Treatment

Precautions for First-Aid Treatments

Apply artificial respiration to the person who collapsed, minimising moving as much as
possible avoiding risks. Once started, artificial respiration should be continued rhythmically.

(1) Refrain from touching the patient carelessly as a resultof 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

gen tly.

(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

(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.

breathing takes too long, omit rescue breathing and perform chest

compressions.

c) When performing rescue breathing, it is recommended to use a

mouthpiece for rescue breathing and other protective devices to

prevent infections.

d) While maintaining an open airway, pinch the person's nose shut with

your thumb and forefinger of the hand used to push down the

forehead.

e) Open your mouth widely to completely cover the mouth of the injured or ill person so that no air

will escape. Give rescue breathing twice in about 1 second and check if the chest rises.

8. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (combination of chest compressions and

rescue breaths)

a) Chest compressions

1) Position of chest compressions

• Position the heel of one hand in the centre of the chest, approximately between the

nipples, and place your other hand on top of the one that is in position.

2) Continuously perform the combination of 30 chest

compressions and 2 rescue breaths without interruption.

3) If there are two or more first-aiders, alternate with each other

approximately every two minutes (five cycles of compressions

and ventilations at a ratio of 30:2) without interruption.

9. When to stop cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)

a) When the injured or ill person has been handed over to the

emergency services

b) When the injured or ill person has started moaning or breathing

normally, lay him/her on his/her side in a recovery position and wait

for the arrival of emergency services.

10. Arrival and preparation of an AED

a) Place the AED at an easy-to-use position. If

2 times

there are multiple first-aiders, continue CPR

until the AED becomes ready.

b) Turn on the power to the AED unit.

Depending on the model of the AED, you

may have to push the power on button, or the AED automatically turns on when you open the

cover.

c) Follow the voice prompts of the AED.

11. Attach the electrode pads to the injured or ill person's bare chest

a) Remove all clothing from the chest, abdomen, and arms.

b) Open the package of electrode pads, peel the pads off and securely

place them on the chest of the injured or ill person, with the adhesive

side facing the chest. If the pads are not securely attached to the chest,

the AED may not function. Paste the pads exactly at the positions

• When the 1-axis log is used, the velocity component in the forward direction can be detected

but the velocity component in the lateral direction cannot be detected. Therefore, the leeway

effect (off-course movement due to wind) cannot be detected.

• When the 2-axis ground log is used, the accuracy may degrade in a shoal. The velocity may not

be detected in the abyssal zone.

• When the GPS is used, the COG precision will be less than ±3° at velocities of 1 to 17 kn. The
