2 FCC Statement This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
• Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect battery type. Dispose of used batteries according to instructions. • The capacity of the batteries decreases if the device is used at a temperature below 0°C or above 55°C. Keep the device away from heat or hot environments. If these safety instructions are not observed, the batteries may overheat, explode or ignite inside the easyONE-DSCCL and may cause permanent damage to the device or environment. 4 4.
• DSC Closed Loop: Only pre-programmed MMSIs of DSC receivers within range (Every 5 minutes for the first 30 minutes, then every 10 minutes) DSC Open Loop: All DSC receivers within range of the • transmitter (possible for one time) These recipients get information about the event of a distress situation as well as the current position.

6 Operating elements 6.1 Alarm flap The transparent plastic cover (4) in the upper frontal section of the device serves to avoid false alarms and locks the antenna flap (3) at the same time. 6.2 „ON“ button The easyONE-DSCCL can be activated manually by pressing the “ON“ button (8). Parallel to the AIS Signal a DSC distress call is broadcasted. (only to pre-programmed MMSI numbers) (more information for alert functionality see chap. 5.1) Seite 9 Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.
6.3 „TEST“ button The device can be activated for an electrical function test by pressing the “TEST“ button (7). In addition to the AIS test message an onetime DSC distress call is sent to all preprogrammed MMSI numbers. The red LED FLARE is also activated once. During test transmission the red LEDs are blinking. 6.4 Antenna The antenna (5) is rolled up in the upper section of the transmitter. It’s locked by a water soluble pill (12) and the alarm and antenna flap.
7 Operation The easyONE-DSCCL is floatable without any floatation aids. During heavy sea the floating AIS MOB easyONE-DSCCL may take a longer time to get the position information by GPS/GNSS. The best AIS transmitter and GPS/GNSS receiver performance will be achieved by holding the distress transmitter with your hands as far away from the water as possible.
7.1 7.1.1 ALERT Automatic Activation (only A10901) The AIS/DSC MOB easyONE-DSCCL is designed for carrying it in an automatic life jacket. If falling into the water, the life jacket opens and the floating body inflates due to the water contact. As a result, the transmitter gets into the water and the antenna is released. If the antenna is unfolded, two contacts are exposed through which the transmitter activates independently upon concurrent water contact.
7.1.3 Functionality AIS Upon an automatic or manual activation of the AIS MOB easyONE-DSCCL in an emergency, an AIS signal is generated which is received by all ships in the proximity that are equipped with an AIS receiver. This distress signal includes: • Current GPS/GNSS position information • Current COG and SOG • Text message “MOB ACTIVE” • Unique serial number of the device (MMSI) • Navigational Status 14 (AIS Search and Rescue Transmitter active) Usually the easyONE-DSCCL is displayed like an AIS S.
DSC Closed Loop Within seconds after the activation a first DSC alerting of all preprogrammed MMSI numbers is send out in closed loop mode. This transmission contains the unit ID of the distress transmitter, but no position information details because there is still no fix with the satellite. As soon as the position fix is established, a next DSC distress call in closed loop is transmitted to all (up to eight) numbers on the list with current position.
easyONE-DSCCL. After this broadcast this unit will fall back into DSC closed loop distress call automatically. Persistent AIS transmission will be done parallel. Red LED FLARE In event of triggering AIS and DSC emergency transmission, the strong red LEDs of the electronical safety FLARE start flashing within same clock rate as the white flash LEDs do. The FLARE will flash every 2 seconds. As longer the AIS MOB is in alert mode, the flashing time reduces but the intervall will stay at every 2 seconds.
7.2 TEST-Function (MOB TEST) Please check the transmitting function of the AIS MOB easyONE-DSCCL on a regular basis. An annual or semi-annual test is usually sufficient. Too frequent testing reduces battery capacity. The battery is designed for 7 years and more than 30 test activations. The antenna mechanism does not have to be triggered for the function test! Carrying out the test: • Leave the antenna rolled up inside the device.
On earlier systems, it appears as a ship symbol. The 9-digit “Unit-ID” (MMSI) of the easyONE-DSCCL, beginning with “972....” and a safety Message (SRM) “MOB TEST” are displayed and an audible and/or visual alarm is triggered. • In addition to the AIS telegrams, a DSC telegram is sent to the optionally programmed MMSI numbers. • The DSC transmission takes place immediately after switching on without position. AIS transmission with position only after position fix.
• At the end of test mode, before the unit is switching off automatically, the LEDs will display the test result: GPS-LED (10) display Test result GPS status LED glows The reception was OK. A position was determined. GPS status LED flashes No GPS/GNSS position could be determined within the first five minutes of testing time.
