  • Page 3: Preface

    Thank you very much for purchasing the JRC JAX-9B Weather Facsimile Receiver. JAX-9B is designed to receive FAX broadcasting such as weather charts and marine charts transmitted in a high frequency band (2 to 25MHz) and record those on recording paper.

  • Page 4: Before Operation

    Before Operation Pictorial Indication In this Instruction Manual and on the product, we use various pictorial indications to handle the product safely and correctly and to prevent you from harming yourself and other people or damaging those properties beforehand. Meanings of the indications are shown below. Understand the meanings of signs before proceeding to read the main text.

  • Page 5: Precautions

    Precautions Do not disassemble or remodel this equipment. Such action may cause a fire, electric shock, or malfunction of the equipment. Do not use any power supply voltage other than the specified one. Such an action may cause a fire, an electric shock, or equipment malfunction. Turn off power supply switch before connecting or disconnecting cables to any external equipment.
  • Page 6 JRC. The continued use of the equipment may cause a fire or electric shock. Be careful not to allow any wire dust or metallic pieces to get into the inside of JAX-9B. Otherwise, it may cause a fire, electric shock, or malfunction.
  • Page 7 Precautions Do not use organic solvents such as thinner or benzene to clean the surface. These agents can damage the surface coating. Remove dirt and dust on the surface if any and wipe it with a clean dry cloth. Use the recording paper (6ZPTS00108) as specified by JRC. The use of any other unspecified paper may cause recording density blurs, abnormal paper feed, much dust, resulting in the damage of the recording device.
  • Page 8 Precautions Turn on or off the POWER switch after waiting more than one second. Turning it back ON right after being turned OFF in no time may cause the equipment malfunction. Clean the thermal head with a piece of soft cloth always. Do not rub it with a screw driver or file.

  • Page 41: Automatic Frequency Selection Function

    Total 90 frequencies 4.1.2 Automatic Frequency Selection Function This JAX-9B is designed to automatically select a frequency in the good receiving condition from all frequencies that are broadcasted from the same broadcasting station. If the receiving condition of a selected frequency becomes worse gradually, the equipment will automatically select another frequency in the good receiving condition.
  • Page 42 Chapter 4 Operation 2) Cautions for Using Automatic Frequency Selection Function • This function works when operating the internal receiver of this equipment. Thus, the function cannot be used in operating an external receiver. • Perform this function about one minute before the start of broadcast because a certain time is required for the comparison of the receiving conditions of all the frequencies registered in a same group and selection of the best frequency.

  • Page 43: Recording Modes

    In this mode, JAX-9B automatically detects the control signal contained in the facsimile broadcasting signal, matches the receiving parameters and starts recording automatically. * JAX-9B will record all the programs that are being broadcasted on the preset receiving frequencies. * JAX-9B on the automatic receiving mode requires receiving a FAX program from the beginning of the broadcast.
