www.easyAIS.com
•AIS: All AIS receivers within transmission range of the AIS
MOB (8 x per minute, position update every min.)
•DSC Closed Loop: Only pre-programmed MMSIs of DSC re-
ceivers 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.
A transmission of position report in DSC closed loop is possible
to up to 8 different MMSIs, if they are already programmed into
the easyONE-DSCCL device (programming can be done easily
with an iOS or Android device via Bluetooth)
A position report transmission in DSC open loop can be trig-
gered manually once by pressing the TEST button for 5 seconds
during ALERT mode.
=> Responsible regulating authority can provide country spe-
cific information if DSC open loop is allowed in your area.

5Operating elements
5.1 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.
5.2 „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)

Page 10 Weatherdock AG
www.easyAIS.com
5.3 „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 one-
time DSC distress call is sent to all pre-
programmed MMSI numbers. The red LED
FLARE is also activated once.
During test transmission the red LEDs are
blinking.
5.4 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.
When the antenna flap (3) was trig-
gered upon water contact or the
alarm flap (4) was removed manu-
ally the antenna unfolds inde-
pendently. The device activates au-
tomatically upon water contact
without requiring user intervention.

6Operation
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 infor-
mation 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.

6.1 ALERT
6.1.1 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 an-
tenna is released. If the antenna is unfolded, two contacts are
exposed through which the transmitter activates inde-
pendently upon concurrent water contact.
The white FLASH LED (11) and the yellow GPS Status LED (10)
are indicating the operating status.
IMPORTANT: Only the easyONE-DSCCL (A10901) can be trig-
gered automatically.
6.1.2 Manual Activation
For manual activation, the alarm flap (4) is torn off from the
device by using the yellow seizing (9). As a result the rolled up
and taut antenna (5) can unfold. The “ON” button (8) is now
exposed and can be pressed in order to trigger the emergency
signal.
When activating manually,
keep the device away from your face!
IMPORTANT: The easyONE-DSCCL-M (A10902) can only be trig-
gered manually.

6.1.3 Functionality
AIS
Upon an automatic or manual activation of the AIS MOB easy-
ONE-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.A.R.T. as a
circle symbol on the electronic display / chart
(System update of display / chart may be necessary):
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 ACTIVE” are
displayed and an audible and/or visual alarm is triggered, re-
spectively.

Page 14 Weatherdock AG
www.easyAIS.com
DSC Closed Loop
Within seconds after the activation a first DSC alerting of all pre-
programmed 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. This DSC broadcast will be repeated
after 5 minutes, later on every 10 minutes.
DSC Open Loop
Country-specific regulations have to be observed by the user,
as the activation of the DSC Open Loop is an alarm in the
GMDSS rescue chain!
Please note in addition that a DSC emergency call, but even a
false triggering, can trigger a charge. Handle the device with
care to avoid false alarms!
Pressing the „ON“ button for more than 5 seconds will trigger
an one-time DSC open loop transmission which can be received
by every DSC system within range. As an acknowledgement for
this, the red FLARE LEDs will flash for a second.
This single one-time DSC open loop distress call will not inter-
fere other functionalities of the AIS MOB unit

Weatherdock AG Page 15
www.easyAIS.com
easyONE-DSCCL. After this broadcast this unit will fall back into
DSC closed loop distress call automatically. Persistent AIS trans-
mission 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.

6.2 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 capac-
ity. 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.
•Press the „TEST“ button (7) and make sure that the easyONE-
DSCCL has a clear view tot he sky in ordert o have good GNSS
reception conditions.
•As a sign that the test mode has been started, the FLASH LED
(11) and GPS Status LED (10) light up for one second. Subse-
quently the GPS Status LED (10) is permanently on. Once a
position information is received, the GPS Status LED (10)
starts flashing. The easyONE-DSCCL start sending a bundle of
AIS messages with the content “MOB TEST”.
•You can check the transmission of the AIS MOB easyONE-
DSCCL by using commercially available AIS receivers which
needs to be connected to a chart plotter or laptop with nav-
igation software. Usually the easyONE-DSCCL is displayed like
an AIS S.A.R.T. as a circle symbol on the electronic display.

Weatherdock AG Page 17
www.easyAIS.com
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 dis-
played 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 switch-
ing on without position. AIS transmission with position only
after position fix.
•The DSC transmission can be checked with a DSC enabled ra-
dio. As information, the 9-digit “Unit-ID” (MMSI) of the
easyONE-DSCCL, starting with “972 .....” and the message
“TEST CALL” is displayed.
•After a successful test, the device switches itself off.
•If, for any reason (barrier by large buildings; no “clear view”
to the sky), a GPS/GNSS position cannot be received, the de-
vice sends after five minutes a bundle of AIS telegrams with-
out a position and switches off automatically.
•The test mode may be terminated early by pressing the
“TEST” button (7) (for more than 3 seconds). The LEDs stop
flashing and the device switches off.
