RECORDING MAY ONLY BE TERMINATED

IN THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES:

• During essential maintenance purposes

while the vessel is in port.

• When the vessel is laid-up.

To stop recording, turn off the BATTERY

BACK-UP, DC SUPPLY MAINS and AC

SUPPLY MAINS switches in this order. DO

NOT turn off the system by the main

breaker while the BATTERY switch is on. If

this is done, the system operates on the

batteries. The system stops after running on

batteries for 2 hours.

If an Incident Occurs

1. Press the SAVE button on the RAP until the SAVE LED (yellow) starts flashing.

• The SAVE LED (yellow) starts flashing and shortly thereafter lights. Then, recording to

the current memory area in the backup HDD in the Data Collecting Unit is stopped and

recording to another memory area starts. The memory in the backup HDD is divided

into four areas.

If you press the SAVE button on the RAP, one recording area stops recording. If you

press the SAVE button four times, all four areas stop recording. If you pressed the

SAVE button, consult a FURUNO dealer to restore the HDD after an investigation of

the incident is completed by the authorities.

• Recording at the Data Recording Unit continues.

Note: Do not press the SAVE button except when an incident occurs.

2. Press the ACK button on the RAP to silence the alarm buzzer.
