INTRODUCTION
General
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) are performed to keep the Global Maritime Distress and
Safety System (GMDSS) equipment in operating condition. The checks are used to find, correct, or report problems.
Crew members are to do the PMCS as shown in the PMCS table. Preventive maintenance checks and services are
performed every day the equipment is operated, using the PMCS table.
Before you begin operating the equipment, do "Before PMCS".
During operation, do "During PMCS".
After operation, do "After PMCS".
Do "Monthly PMCS" once a month. If the equipment has not been operated in a month, also do "After PMCS" at the
same time.
If you are operating the equipment for the first time, do the "Monthly PMCS" the first time you do your
"Before PMCS".
If you find something wrong when performing PMCS, fix it if you can, using troubleshooting procedures and/or
maintenance procedures.

Clean the exterior of the components with a clean, dry cloth or a soft bristled brush.
Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC)
Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army materiel is a continuing concern. It is important that any corrosion
problems with this item be reported so that the problem can be corrected and improvements can be made to prevent
the problem in future items.
Corrosion is typically associated with rusting of metals or galvanic corrosion, which produces a white powder. The
category of corrosion also includes deterioration of other materials, such as rubber and plastic. Unusual cracking,
softening, swelling, or breaking of the materials may be a corrosion problem. If a corrosion problem is identified, it
can be reported using SF 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report. Use of key words, such as "corrosion", "rust",
"deterioration" or "cracking", will ensure that the information is identified as a CPC problem. The form should be
submitted to the address specified in DA PAM 738-750.
