 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 service,
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.
 Method of First-Aid Treatment

☆Precautions for First-Aid Treatments

Whenever a person is struck by an electrical shock, give the patient artificial respiration
immediately on the spot, unless it is absolutely necessary to move the patient for safety's
sake. 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.
☆Treatment to Give When the Patient Has a
Pulse Beating but Has Ceased to Breathe
＊Performing mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration - Fig. 1
(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.

Meouth-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.

Fig.1 Mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration

☆Treatment to Give When the Patient Has No
Pulse Beating and Has Ceased to Breathe
＊Performing cardiac massage - Fig. 2
If the patient has no pulse beating, with the pupils open and no heartbeat being heard,
the patient has a cardiac arrest and requires immediate artificial respiration. Continue
this until a medical specialist arrives, and follow his or her directions after that.

(1) Putting one hand on about the lower one third of the patient's ribs and the other hand
over the back of the first, with your elbow fully stretched (with bended elbow, you
can’t press to the extent the patient’s ribs are depressed), apply your body weight to
the hands to press the patient's body until it is depressed about 2 cm (Repeat this
about 50 times a minute). (Cardiac massage.)
(2) If only one first-aider is available, perform a cardiac massage about 15 times and
then give mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration 2 times. Repeat this sequence. If two
first-aiders are available, while one person performs a cardiac massage 15 times,
and the other should give mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration 2 times. Repeat this
sequence (combined cardiac massage and mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration
method).
(3) Check the patient's pupils and feel the pulse from time to time. When the pupils are
restored to normal and the pulse begins to beat regularly, stop treating and keep the
patient calm while giving him or her coffee, tea or any other hot drink to keep him or
her warm while watching him or her carefully.

The [VIDEO] dial adjusts the brightness of radar echoes. Turning the [VIDEO] dial to the right
increases the brightness. Adjust to the best brightness to view radar echoes.

3 Basic Operation of ECDIS 3-34

 [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.

[SEA]: Suppressing sea clutter

The [SEA] dial lowers the reception sensitivity in near distances to reduce sea clutter. Turning the ECDIS

[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.

[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 may miss small targets.

• 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 WPT value in the WPT entry table. Using the [View Sync]
button, the current WPT can always be displayed on the chart during editing.
●Route planning using the Graphic Editor
You can make a route by graphically drawing each WPT 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 rotate the trackball to move the cursor on upper part of screen 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
omitted in this Chapter.

Route Name and Extension of File:

Route Name: You can enter up to 8 characters. For example: Route-01
(Note) Characters such as “.” and “ ” that cannot generally be used in file names cannot
be used as route names.
Extension of File: The extension (3 additional letters) is automatically attached to the route name as
follows.

d) Max. Latitude
Waypoints cannot be set in latitudes higher than the set latitude. If a GC leg is higher than
the set latitude, waypoints are added for limiting the GC leg to the maximum latitude.

When the GC leg between W002 and W003

exceeds the maximum latitude (60°N)

60°N

When the maximum latitude is 60° or more, a GC leg exceeding 60° can be input.

W003 and W004 are added for limiting the

GC leg to the maximum latitude (60°N).
(RL leg between W003 and W004)

Waypoints are added at intersections between the GC leg and 60°, so a leg exceeding 60° is
not input.

e) Check Safety in Editing

During editing the route, safety check is automatically conducted.
(You can manually conduct safety check with the [Safety Check] button.)
If an error is detected during the safety check, the route will have to be reset.
(The error part is drown in black color after safety check.)

4.2 Creating an Alternate Route
During voyage only, you can create an alternate route while referring to the current route on the screen.
The alternate 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 Editor”. 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”.)
Normally, you will use this method for alternate route.
- When you saved as a new file using the “Save as” menu, the alternate route is not replaced with
the original route. (For details, see (3) “Saving the alternate route file” in 4.2.2 “Creating

Chart Editing

5-1
This chapter describes how to create user maps and how to manually update charts.

User Map
User map can be created and displayed on other charts. User map information contains various objects
(symbols, lines, areas, and texts). User map can also be edited and updated. Also, you can merge
multiple maps together to create one user map.
The following figures show how to use user map:

Example 1: Example 2: Example 3:

User Map 2 You can merge as

User Map 1 User Map 2
User Map 1 one user map.
Chart Chart
Chart

How to Display the User Map:

To display the user map, see 3.10 “Displaying a User Map”.
In the normal menu
Select [MENU] - [(5) User Map] - [(1) Select User Map] in the order.

Manual Update
Objects (symbols, lines, areas, and texts) can be manually updated. When you save data after
manually updating the objects, there will be a panel for you to enter the issue date of a notice to mariners.
Enter the date. You can check the issue dates of a notice to mariners by using S-57/C-MAP/ARCS
information.
Unlike User Map Edit operation, Manual Update operation links objects directly to the chart. Therefore,
the objects updated manually in the chart cannot be deleted as desired, but can only be hidden from the
chart. For the method of hiding the objects, see 5.5.3 “Hiding Objects (Only during the Manual Update
Operation)”.
When all the following conditions are met, objects updated manually are deleted automatically from the
chart.
• The chart having objects updated manually has been updated in Chart Portfolio.
• 3 months or more have passed since the chart was updated manually.
• The objects to be deleted are hidden from the chart.

Note:
• ARCS and C-MAP Ed.3 charts cannot be updated manually.
• The objects updated manually in S-57, S-63 or C-MAP Ed.2 chart can be used commonly in those
charts.
