 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.
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 rigidity at worst. It is necessary to perform first aid immediately.

ii
 Emergency Measures 

Method of First-Aid Treatment

Precautions for First-Aid Treatments


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

(1) Refrain from touching the patient carelessly as a result of 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
gently.

(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.

iii
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.

Mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration with the patient's head lifted


[1] (1) Lift the back part of the patient's
head. Support the forehead with one
of your hand and the neck with the
other hand. [1].
Many patients will have their airways
opened by lifting their head in this
way to ease mouth-to-mouth
artificial respiration.
[2]
(2) Closing the patient's mouth with your
mouth, press your cheek against the
patient's nose [2].
Alternatively, hold the patient's nose
with your finger to prevent air leak
 [3].

[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.

Touching the high-voltage section inside will cause an electric shock.

Do not attempt to disassemble or tamper with this equipment.


Otherwise, a fire, an electric shock, or a malfunction may occur.

When conducting maintenance, make sure to turn the main power off.
Failure may result in electric shock.

Turn off all the main powers before cleaning the equipment. Especially when
an UPS is used, make sure to turn it off since voltage is still outputted from
the UPS even after the indicator and the ECDIS are turned off. Failure may
result in equipment failure, or death or serious injury due to electric shock.

xi
When turning off the power supply, do not hold down the power button of the
operation unit.
Otherwise, a trouble may occur due to termination failure.

When conducting maintenance work, make sure to turn off the power so that
the power supply to the equipment is completely cut off.
Some equipment components can carry electrical current even after the
power switch is turned off, and conducting maintenance work may result in
electric shock, equipment failure, or accidents.

When cleaning the screen and Trackball of Operation Unit, do not wipe hard
with a dry cloth. Also, do not use glass cleaner, alcohol, gasoline, or thinner to
clean the screen. Also avoid wiping with water. It may cause surface damage
or equipment failure.

Do not change Initial Level/Area Offset unless absolutely necessary.


Incorrect adjustment will result in deletion of nearby target images and thus
collisions may occur resulting in death or serious injuries.

Confirm computer virus does not exist in USB flash memory beforehand
when reading and writing of the file by using USB flash memory.
Influences other equipment when the display unit is infected with the virus,
and it may cause a breakdown.

Do not remove USB flash memory while the access lamp (in USB flash drive)
is flashing.
Data may be damaged when the USB flash memory is inserted or removed
while accessing it, and it may cause a breakdown.

Do not place a glass or cup containing water, etc., or a small metal object on
this equipment.
If water or such object gets inside, a fire, an electric shock, or a malfunction
may occur.

In case water or a metal object gets inside the equipment, turn off the power
immediately, unplug the power supply cable from an electric outlet, and
contact our head office, or a nearby branch or local office to request servicing.
Keeping the equipment in operation under such condition may cause a fire,
an electric shock or a malfunction.

xii
Do not use the offset function during navigation.
If the equipment is used with the offset value entered as the own ship position
(deviated from the actual position), accidents may result.
When the offset values are entered, the [Offset] badge is displayed at the
position display on the Own Ship Information. Check the indication, and
cancel the offset function if necessary. Also, the message "Position Shift" is
displayed in the message display area.

Before starting automatic sailing, be sure to check the safety of the route and
the safety when crossing safety contour.
Otherwise, accidents may result.

If the own ship has arrived at the boundary of a WPT during automatic sailing,
be sure to check the safety and perform turning manually by the operator
him/herself.
Otherwise, the ship keeps the course with the leg bearing, and accidents may
result.

Input the ship’s parameter accurately according to the specification of the


ship.
Otherwise, accidents may result.

Change of the color of the Day/Night button, particularly the use of the [Night]
color, may interfere with the recognition of display information.

When moving the dialog box, move to the position that does not cover the
operation area. If the dialog box covers the operation area, it may interfere
the recognition of the display information.

xiii
Use Target Tracking (TT) function only as a navigation aid. The final
navigation decision must always be made by the operator him/herself.
Making the final navigation decision based only on tracking target information
may cause accidents.
Tracking target information such as vector, target numerical data, and alarms
may contain some errors. Also, targets that are not detected by the radar
cannot be acquired or tracked.
Making the final navigation decision based only on the radar display may
cause accidents such as collisions or running aground.
Since these alarms may include some errors depending on the target tracking
conditions, the navigation officer himself should make the final decision for ship
operations such as collision avoidance.
Making the final navigation decision based only on the alarm may cause
accidents such as collisions.

Make sure that two or more staff member work together when replacing the
LCD. If only one person attempts to replace the LCD, he/she may drop it and
become injured.

Any adjustments must be made by specialized service personnel.


Incorrect settings may result in unstable operation, and this may lead to
accidents or equipment failure.

Do not make any adjustments during navigation.


Failure may result in adverse effects on the radar function which may lead to
accidents or equipment failure.

Do not change the quantization level settings unless absolutely necessary.


If set at an inappropriate value, the acquisition of target tracking function and
the tracking function deteriorate, and this may lead to accidents.

Do not use or leave the equipment under direct sunlight for a long time or in
the temperatures above 55°C.
Otherwise, a fire or a malfunction may occur.

Do not block the ventilation opening of the equipment.


Otherwise, heat may accumulate inside to cause a fire or a malfunction.

xiv
This equipment is intended for use as an aid to navigation only.
• If no backup measures, such as using another ECDIS unit for
confirmation, are taken, be sure to use official marine charts together with
this equipment to make any navigational decision.
• This equipment is not designed to assess the positional information
automatically.
The positional information should always be checked by the operator.
Otherwise, accidents may result.

Do not touch the equipment with hands or gloves wet with water.
Otherwise, an electric shock or a malfunction may occur.

Malfunctions of the drives may result.

• Do not place any object on the operation panel.


In particular, if a hot object is placed on the operation panel, it can cause
deformation of the surface of the operation panel.
• Do not apply any undue shock on the operation panel, trackball and dials.
Otherwise, a malfunction may result.

Make sure that the main power is turned off before inspection or replacement
of parts.
Otherwise, an electric shock, a fire, or a malfunction may occur.

• If a fan alarm or CPU temperature rise alarm has occurred, immediately


turn off the power.
Keeping the equipment in operation under such condition may cause a fire
or a malfunction.
After turning off the power, contact our head office, or a nearby branch or
local office to request servicing.

Edit routes in accordance with the world geodetic system (WGS-84).


Use of routes edited with any other geodetic systems may cause accidents.

During sailing, be sure to check the own ship’s position and bearing as often
as necessary, regardless of whether the automatic sailing is in operation or
not.
Otherwise, accidents may result.

xv
Do not turn off the power during Backup/Restore.
Otherwise, a function may fail, and an accident may occur.

Do not do the backup operation of data while sailing.


The ECDIS application should be ended to begin the data backup. It
becomes impossible to observe using the ECDIS and this may lead to
accidents.
