Question 118 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) The manufacturers instruction manuals. The proper set-up and operation of GMDSS equipment on a vessel should be consulted in the manufacturers' instruction manuals. These manuals provide the specific guidance and procedures needed to correctly configure and operate the equipment, as they are the most authoritative source for that information. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) ITU publications provide general standards and guidelines, but not the specific operational details. B) The Code of Federal Regulations covers the regulatory requirements, but not the hands-on procedures. D) The FCC rules cover licensing and frequency usage, not equipment operation.
