posed channel or communication mode is not available.

1.12 Priority of the System

If one or more remote stations are installed, the transceiver unit has the highest prior¬
ity. You can interrupt remote station operation at any time with the handset of the main
unit. When you hook off the handset of the main unit, "OCCUPIED BY: FM-8900S"
(Default. This can be changed.) is indicated on all remote stations. Each remote sta¬
tion has its own priority. The remote station ID (1-4) indicates its priority. The priority

1-7

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

of the system is as follows.

Transceiver unit = Analog wing handset >

Digital wing handset L = Digital wing handset R > Remote station 1 >

Remote station 2 > Remote station 3 > Remote station 4

If you hook off No.4 remote station, for example, "IN USE BY: HANDSET_P4" is dis¬
played on other remote stations and "HANDSET_P4: OPERATION" on the transceiv¬
er unit. However, you can hook off and use No.1 remote station.

The terminal which you operate has priority in the following conditions:

• The handset goes off hook.

• Display the menus or setting Windows.

• Display each function screen (for example, Log).

• Switch the session.

onds.)

How to set the terminal ID

1. Disconnect the power plug of a remote station to turn off the remote station.

2. While pressing the MENU key of a remote station, connect the plug to turn on the
power.

3. Enter the terminal ID, using the 1 to 6 keys, then press the ENTER key. Do not
assign the same number to multiple remote stations.

Distress operation overview

1. Press the DISTRESS key.

2. Wait for the distress alert acknowledgement.

3. Communicate with the coast station.

(1) Ship in distress sends Distress Alert.

(2) Coast station sends distress acknowledgement (DIST ACK).

(3) Voice communication between ship in distress and coast station.

3.1 How to Send a Distress Alert

GMDSS ships carry a DSC terminal with which to transmit the distress alert in the
event of a life-endangering situation. A coast station receives the distress alert and
sends the distress alert acknowledge call to the ship in distress. Then, voice commu¬
nication between the ship in distress and coast station begins. Transmission of the dis¬
tress alert and receiving of the distress alert acknowledgement are completely
automatic - simply press the DISTRESS key to initiate the sequence.

Note: After sending the distress alert, the terminal which its PTT switch is pressed first
has top priority.

3.1.1 How to send a distress alert by DISTRESS key with distress in¬
formation not edited

1. Open the DISTRESS key cover then press and hold the DISTRESS key for four
seconds. The audio alarm sounds while pressing the key, and the key flashes in
red. The countdown message appears on the screen while pressing the DIS¬
TRESS key (3s -> 2s -> Is -> Os).

Item

Check point

Remedy/Remarks

Antenna

Check for physical damage and corrosion.

Replace damaged parts.

Wire

antenna

Check that the antenna is properly spanned
and separated sufficiently from metallic
structures.

If necessary, re-span antenna.

Insulators
for antenna

Check for salt water deposits on insulators.
Check that connection at the lead-in insula-
tor is tight and rust-free.

Replace damaged insulator(s). Remove
salt water deposits. Clean with fresh
water, then dry. Remove rust, then
tighten bolts and lock nuts. Cover me¬
tallic surface with sealing compound.

Transceiver

unit

• Check ground connection.

• Check connection at signal cable, coaxial
cable, control cable, power cable and ex-
ternal equipment (including navigator).

• Confirm that there are no objects on the
top of the transceiver unit.

• Remove dust from transceiver unit with
soft cloth.

Note: Do not use Chemical cleaners to
clean the transceiver unit; they can remove
paint or markings and deform the equip¬
ment.

• Tighten the loosened connections;
remove foreign materials from con-
nectors.

• Remove any objects.

• Wipe the LCD carefully to prevent
scratching, using tissue paper and an
LCD cleaner. To remove dirt or salt
deposits, use an LCD cleaner, wiping
slowly with tissue paper so as to dis-
solve the dirt or salt. Change paper
frequently so the salt or dirt does not
scratch the LCD.

Power

supply

Check that the supply voltage at transmis¬
sion is within the rated range (21.6 to 31.2
VDC at the power connector).

If not within the range, check power
source. Low voltage may cause erratic
operation.

APPENDIX 5 PARTS LIST

This equipment contains complex modules in which fault diagnosis and repair down to component
level are not practical (IMO A.694(17)/8.3.1). Only some discrete components are used. FURUNO
Electric Co., Ltd. Believes identifying these components is of no value for shipboard maintenance;
therefore, they are not listed in this manual. Major modules can be located on the parts location
photos on pages AP-21 thru AP-22.
