Non so bene in che senso vada inteso "manuali"
so che rappresentano uno dei modi in cui viene dato l'avviso di evacuazione di una costruzione in un cantiere navale insieme con
"Accensione e spegnimento per tre volte consecutive dell’impianto luce provvisoria di bordo" e
"Cassette di Allarme del “Sistema di Comunicazione di Allarme Provvisorio di Bordo” qualora presente e nelle zone in cui è già installato (comunicazione vocale e visiva tramite luci lampeggianti poste sulle cassette di Allarme)"
