harbor. No reset is necessary. Default setting.
Manual ON: The BNWAS is active. Use this mode when the vessel is traveling on the
open sea. Reset is necessary to continue operation.

ON when the autopilot is ON; OFF when the autopilot is OFF.
Note: Auto operating mode is not available for SOLAS vessels.

1.7 Dormant Period
The watch time interval can be selected from the Administrator Menu. Only the admin-
istrator of the system can access the Administrator Menu. See paragraph 4.10.1
menu for how to select the interval time.
1.8 Watch Alarm Sequence
The watch alarm checks for the presence of the OOW on the bridge. If equipment on
the bridge (Main Alarm Panel, Timer Reset Panel, Backup Navigator, Autopilot, or Mo-
tion Detector) is operated within the selected watch time interval, no alarm is given. If
no equipment is operated within the selected watch time interval, the system contin-
ues in the sequence shown below.
1. The watch alarm timer starts when the system is started. The length of the watch
time interval countdown timer bar (color is light-blue at this time) decreases as
time progresses. (The timer interval is set on the Administrator Menu, which is un-
der the control of the Administrator.)
If the equipment connected to the system is operated before the timer reaches ze-
ro, the timer countdown is restarted.
