◆◆◆◆ PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION ◆◆◆◆
Cautions for high voltage

High voltages from hundreds volts to tens of thousands volts are to be applied to the electronic equipment
such radio and radar devices. You do not face any danger during normal operation, but sufficient cares are
required for maintenance, inspection and adjustment of their internal components.
(Authorized maintenance personnel alone are permitted to implement maintenance, check-ups or adjustment
of internal components.)
High voltages of tens of thousands volts are so dangerous as to bring an instantaneous death from electric
shock, but even voltages of hundreds volts may sometimes lead to a death from electric shock. To prevent
such an accident, make it a rule to turn off the power button, discharge capacitors with a wire surely
earthed on an end and make sure that internal parts are no longer charged before you touch any parts inside
these devices. At the time, wearing dry cotton gloves ensures you further to prevent such danger. It is also
a necessary caution to put one of your hands in the pocket and not to use your both hands at the same time.
It is also important to select a stable foothold always to prevent additional injuries once you were shocked
by electricity. If you were injured from electric shock, disinfect the burn sufficiently and get it taken care
of promptly.
What to do in case of electric shock

When finding a victim of electric shock, turn off the power source and earth the circuit immediately. If it
is impossible to turn off the circuit, move the victim away promptly using insulators such as dry wood plate
and cloth without touching the victim directly.
In case of electric shock, breathing may stop suddenly if current flows to the respiration center in the brain.
If the shock is not so strong, artificial respiration may recover breathing. When shocked by electricity, the
victim will come to look very bad with weak pulse or without beating, resulting in unconsciousness and
rigidity.
vii
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆ FIRST AID TREATMENTS ◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
✩ First-aid treatments
As far as the victim of electric shock is not in dangerous condition, do not move him and practice artificial
respiration on him immediately. Once started, it should be continued rhythmically.
(1) Do not touch the victim confusedly as a result of the accident, but the rescuer may also get an electric
shock.
(2) Turn off the power source calmly and certainly and move the victim away quietly from the electric
line.
(3) Call a physician or ambulance immediately or ask someone to call a doctor.
(4) Lay the victim on his back and loosen his necktie, clothes, belt, etc.
(5) a. Examine the victim’s pulse.
b. Examine his heartbeat bringing your ear close to his heart.
c. Examine his breathing bringing the back of your hand or your face close to his face.
d. Check the size of the pupils of his eyes.
(6) Open the victim’s mouth and take out artificial teeth, cigarette or chewing gum if any. Keep his mouth
open, stretch his tongue and insert a towel or the like in his mouth to prevent the tongue from suffocating.
(If it is hard to open his mouth due to set teeth, open it with a screwdriver and insert a towel in this
mouth.)
(7) Then, close his mouth so that foaming mucus does not accumulate inside.
viii
✩ When pulse is beating but breathing has stopped
(1) Tilt the victim’s head back as far as this face looks back. (A pillow may be inserted under his neck.)
(2) Push his jaw upward to open his throat wide (to spread his airway).
(3) Pinch the victim’s nostrils and take a deep breath, block his mouth completely with yours and blow
into his mouth strongly. Take a deep breath again and blow into his mouth. Continue this 10 to 15
times a minute (blocking his nostrils).
(4) Carefully watch that he has recovered his natural breathing and stop practicing artificial respiration.
(5) If it is difficult to open the victim’s mouth, insert a rubber or vinyl tube into one of his nostrils and
blow into it blocking the other nostril and his mouth completely.
(6) When the victim recovers consciousness, he may try to stand up suddenly, but let him lie calmly and
serve him with a cup of hot coffee or tea to keep him warm and quiet. (Never give him alcoholic
drinks.)
Method of mouth-to-mouth respiration by raising head
(A) Raise the victim’s head. Support his

forehead with one of your hand and his
neck with the other hand. → (A)
When you tilt his head backward, the
victim, in most cases, opens his mouth to
the air. This makes mouth-to-mouth
respiration easy.
(B) Cover his mouth as widely as possible

with yours and press your cheek against
his nose →(B), or, pinch his nostrils
with your fingers to prevent air from
leaking. → (C)
(C) Blow into his lungs.

Continue blowing into his mouth until his
breast swells. Blow into his mouth as
quickly as possible for the first 10 times.
Mouth-to-mouth respiration
ix
✩ When both pulse and breathing have stopped
When no pulse has come not to be felt, his pupils are open and no heartbeat is heard, cardiac arrest is
supposed to have occurred and artificial respiration must be performed.
(1) Place your both hands, one hand on the other, on the lower one third area of his breastbone and compress
his breast with your elbows applying your weight on his breast so that it is dented about 2cm (repeat
compressing his breast 50 times or so a minute). (Cardiac massage)
(2) In case of one rescuer,
Repeat cardiac massages about 15 times and blow into his mouth 2 times quickly, and repeat this
combination.
In case of two rescuers,
One person repeats cardiac massages 5 times while the other person blows into his mouth once, and
they shall repeat this combination. (Cardiac massage and mouth-to-mouth respiration)
(3) Examine his pupils and his pulse sometimes. When the both have returned to normal, stop the artificial
respiration, serve him with a cup of coffee or tea and keep him warm and calm while watching him
carefully. Commit the victim to a medial specialist depending on his condition. To let him recover
from the mental shock, it is necessary for persons concerned to understand his situations and the
necessary treatments.

Note: If menu panel adjustment ([(4) View] -[(0) Option] - [(1) Radar] “Rader Option” panel) is selected,
the following dials do not work. In this case, change the menu setting to activate the dials. For
details, see 3.25.1 “Setting Radar Options”.
[GAIN]: Adjusting sensitivity

The [GAIN] 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 difficult 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

The [ECHO] 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

The [SEA] 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

The [RAIN] 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.

3.3.9 Turning the ARPA/AIS Target Display ON/OFF ([ARPA])
You can turn ON/OFF the ARPA/AIS target information on the chart using the operation panel or from the menu.

egories, display base, standard display, and all other information. You can change the object category using the
display panel.
Display Base: Important objects that cannot be deleted from the charts, such as coastline and own ship’s safety
contour.
Standard Display: Objects less important than display base, such as drying line, indication of fixed and floating
aids to navigation and boundaries of fairways, channels, etc.
Other: Other objects, such as spot soundings, submarine cables and pipelines, ferry routes and details
of all isolated dangers.
Note: When the chart is firstly displayed, the standard display is displayed. For safety for sailing, use the stan-
dard display or other information display, and not the display base.

For better understanding, you can think that various layers are used
to make up the chart display. For example, standard display consists
of the display base and information (objects) for standard display.
(EVENT mark, etc.)
This means that the display base is the basic one layer and the infor- Layer
(Other)
mation for standard display is another layer, and the standard dis- Layer
play is made up by overlapping both layers. (Standard)
Layer
Another additional layers may be own ship, user chart, event mark, Display base chart
EBL/VRM, radar image, etc. Layer

In this Chapter, how to make a route is explained in 4.1. In addition, how to create alternate route during voyage is
explained in 4.2.
• For selecting the route you have made in this chapter, see 3.4 “Selecting ROUTE and To WP”.
• To set route options, see 4.1.1 “Setting the Route Options”.
4.1 Route Planning

You can make a route by using one of the following methods. After you have made a route, you can edit it. Edition
is possible by using either method.
• Route planning using the Table Editor
You can make a route by entering each WP value in the WP entry table. Using the [View Sync] button, the
current WP can always be displayed on the chart during editing.
• Route planning using the Graphic Editor
You can make a route by graphically drawing each WP on the chart.
Editing Screen and Editing Menu:

When you enter the Table Editing mode or Graphic Editing mode from the normal menu, the editing screen is
displayed.
On the editing screen, editing buttons are displayed. Further, special editing menu is provided and it opens by left-
clicking the [MENU] button on the display panel in the same way as for normal menu.
The editing button functions are included in this special menu, though some names of buttons are slightly different
from those of menus.
Note: The special editing menu has the same menus as for normal menu. Explanation of these menus is omit-
ted in this Chapter.
Route Type:
Normal type or ANTS type route can be made. After you have made a route using the Normal type, you can convert
it into the ANTS type, and vice versa.
Note: When converting the Normal type into ANTS type, the items that are not included in the Normal type
become default values. When converting the ANTS type into Normal type, conversion will be made com-
pletely.

During voyage only, you can create an alternate route while referring to the current route on the screen. The alter-
nate route can be saved as a TEMP file, or by naming a new route name.
The alternate route can be created in the same manner as for making a route using the Graphic Editor. The operation
buttons and the special menu for creating an alternate route are exactly the same as those for the Graphic Editor. So,
the same explanation is omitted here. For omitted information, see 4.1.3 “Route Planning Using the Graphic Edi-
tor”. You can use EBL/VRM in the same way as for the Graphic Editor, though the explanation is omitted here.
Note:
Whether the alternate route is replaced with the original route or not depends the saving methods.
• When you left-click the [Save] button and then [Close] button after you made the alternate route, the original
route is replaced with the alternate route. (In this case, the alternate route file name is “TEMP”.)

Automatic
Sailing
Caution: Before starting automatic sailing, be sure to check the safety of the route and crossing safety
contour.
The system calculate the set course (course to steer) from the relationship between the scheduled route and the
ship’s position. Automatic sailing along the scheduled route is carried by outputting the course to the autopilot.
The three kinds of automatic sailing methods can be used.
• ANTS Auto
• ANTS Manual
• Normal
About ANTS (Automatic Navigation Track-keeping System):

ANTS in conjunction with the sources of position, heading and speed information is intended to keep a ship auto-
matically on a scheduled route over ground under various conditions within the limits related to the ship’s maneu-
verability.
6.1 Automatic Sailing System

6.1.1 Explanation of Automatic Sailing System
There are three operations in automatic sailing.
1) Entering the scheduled route (maneuvering) (ANTS Auto only)
You can automatically enter the scheduled route. The system automatically calculate predicted route based on
your ship’s condition (position, course, etc.). If satisfactory result is obtained, maneuvering is automatically
made to enter the scheduled route.
θ: Angle to enter the scheduled route

Reach: Distance between when the wheel is steered
R and when the ship begins to turn
R: Turning radius

3) Change of course (turning)

Turning operation differs depending on the automatic sailing methods (ANTS Auto, ANTS Manual and Normal)
as follows:
ANTS Auto: When the ship arrived at the wheel over line (WOL) after reaching the reach line, turning auto-
matically starts at a constant radius.
