Failure to observe this warning could result in the unit becoming unbalanced and thus causing injury if it falls Do not place heavy objects on the power cable or the antenna cable. Failure to observe this warning could result in fire, electrical shock, malfunction, and/or receiver signal deterioration. Do not operate at voltages other than 10.8 - 35.0 VDC. Failure to observe this warning could result in fire, electrical shock, and/or malfunction, oO GO If an unusual smell, smoke, or other abnormality is detected, immediately turn off the power to the receiver and then turn off the power on the power distribution panel of the vessel. After confirming that the unusual smell, ‘smoke, or other abnormality has cleared up, consult your dealer or nearest JRC service/sales representative for repair. Using the receiver in such situation may cause fire and/or electrical shock.OPERATING PRECAUTIONS ZA\ CAUTION Do not place the receiver on an unstable surface. If placed on an unstable table or an uneven surface, it could fall and result in personal injury and/or damage or malfunction of the unit. Fix the receiver steadily using the supplied screws. Do not expose to water or moisture. Placement on exposed decks or in humid places may cause electrical shock or maffunction. (a) Do not open or remove the cover of the receiver. Touching the parts inside could result in electrical shock. If itis absolutely necessary to check the inside of the receiver for maintenance, turn off the power of the power distribution panel. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, heat, moisture, and dust. Failure to do so may cause fire, malfunction, and/or deterioration of print-out quality. Always use the JRC-recommended printer paper. The use of any other paper ‘may cause printer trouble and/or deterioration of print-out quality. NI) When cleaning, do not use benzene, alcohol, thinner, or other volatile solvents, The coated surface may deteriorate or be damaged. Wipe the surface lightly with a soft cloth. aeAFTER UNPACKING Afler unpacking, make sure that the following components and accessories are all present.

O The NAVTEX function receives and prints out the various types of information broadcast at a frequency of 518 kH¥z, such as: navigational warning, meteorological warning, search and rescue information, and other types of formation. The equipment also provides a method of programming so that you can select the type of information to be received and from which coast station to receive it. FEATURES © Receiving NAVTEX broadcasts ‘The equipment receives NAVTEX broadcasts automatically (© Reduced consumption of printer paper Since the equipment has the capability of storing up to 128 message identification codes in ‘memory for up to 72 hours, duplicate printing of messages is avoided. © Permanent storage of data settings Once the types of messages to be received and their coast stations have been set, these settings ‘are automatically stored into the internal memory (EEPROM) of the equipment. The data, therefore, does not require re-setting, even after power has been turned off. O High reliability based on digital demodulation JRC's unique digital demodulation circuit ensures high reliabili © Dual voltage supply input ‘The equipment can be used on either 24-VDC vessels or those with 12-VDC. O Self-diagnostics ‘The equipment contains self-diagnostic tools, making it easy to service. © Connection to external equipment ‘The equipment can be used in conjunction with Integrated Radio Communications System (ARCS) for vessels and the Total Navigator (ECDIS).1.3 CONFIGURATION ‘The equipment consists of @ main unit (NCR-330) and an antenna (NAW-330). Although it operates on DC power, operation on AC power is also possible with an optional power supply unit (NBG-4534A or NBG-122). Also, an external alarm buzzer can be attached so that the alarm can be heard at remote locations when search-and-rescue information is received through NAVTEX broadcasts. In addition, it can be used in conjunction with the Integrated Radio Communications System (IRCS) for vessels and the Total Navigator (ECDIS). ‘The overall configuration of the equipment, including major peripherals, is shown below.

If blinking is abnormal, the H-7SZJD0002A main switch or the CDJ-2330 main processor board is likely to be malfunctioning. Also, the alphabetic display unit will display characters A to Z. If the display is abnormal, the CDJ-2330 main processor board is likely to be malfunctioning. -49-6.1.3 Other general maintenance and check items In addition to periodic checks by the self-diagnostic tests, it is recommended to check the following periodically. A\ CAUTION When loading the printer paper, cut the leading edge straight. Uneven cutting may cause the paper to jam. NOTE: Ifthe “out of paper” alarm activates to warn of paper outage, the receiver cannot be reset to stand-by status just by adding paper. The alarm must be cleared by pressing the ALARM OFF switch after adding paper. -50Check Items Contents Antenna © Is the antenna mounted properly? ® Is the whip antenna free from damage or other abnormalities? @ the self-bonding tape wound properly around the antenna connectors? @ Is the antenna cable connected properly to the terminal board on the rear panel? © Is DC voltage between the plus and minus antenna terminals 9 volts?
