4.1 Operation overview
● This equipment is mainly operated by the control panel or the handset of the
JHS-800S marine VHF radiotelephone or NCM-980 controller (option).
● Basically all the functions can be operated by using the buttons on the touchscreen,
except for the knobs and buttons on the panel. See the menu tree on the next page.
● When one or more controller is connected, basically only one control panel of the
main unit (JHS-800S) or controller (NCM-980) having the access rights can be
operated, except for the distress alert by the DISTRESS button, changing audio
volume, and changing display conditions. (Unless otherwise mentioned, the
instructions below are for the control panel with the access right.)
● The DISTRESS button is always available regardless of the access right (this button
has the highest priority).
● To obtain the access right at the control panel having no access right, touch the OPE
button or lift the handset from the cradle, unless another control panel is in the state
of such as opening the menu or PTT ON. However, the higher priority control panel
can obtain the access right unless the lower priority one is in the state of PTT ON.
● Replacing the handset on-hook returns the channel to CH16 (factory default setting).
Also, on-hook detection can be disabled by setting the handset menu.
● For menu operations, touch the [MENU] button to open the main menu and touch the
target function menu buttons to select items or input data.
● The function buttons appeared by the [FUNC] button and the user key ([FAVORITE]
button) on the right edge of the screen are programmable and the frequent use
functions can be registered on them in advance.
● Touching the [MAIN] button in any menu moves the display to the status display.
● If menu screens are left without operating for a period set by the menu, the screens
are closed automatically and return to the status display.
● The popup screens are opened adequately and operations by the dialog boxes are
available.
● In the menu tree on the next page, the menu items indicated "OK" on the Printable
column can be printed out from the connected printer by touching the blue button on
that menu screen.
