GlobalWatch™ UAIS User Manual 58 Version 1.0
4 Safety Functions
The GlobalWatch™ UAIS is fitted with Safety Keys, which allow the user to automatically send urgent
messages without the necessity of navigating the Menus.
The SRM Button sends out Broadcast Safety Related Messages to all ships in the Vessel Listing. The MOB
Button sends out precise position of incident to Addressed Vessels, therefore allowing the message to be
sent to a vessel closest to accident location.
4.1 MOB Person over Board
By pressing the MOB button the current navigation position of own vessel and time of incident is
automatically saved. The MOB message containing the distress information “Person Over Board” is
automatically prepared for transmission as an Addressed or Broadcast Safety Related Message.
By pressing the
[Broadcast] button, the MOB Message is automatically sent to all vessels within receiving
range. By activating the
[Send] button, an individual vessel can be chosen as recipient of the MOB
Message.
