be transmitted automatically, and GPS/GNSS position might not be fixed. Please
move the AIS SART to a new location which has a clear view of the sky.

self-tested more than the maximum of 100 times.

plotter/ECDIS if the SAR messages are received and
whether the messages include valid GPS position.
NOTE 1
– “Over usage” is caused by the following three situations: battery is run
down, unit has been tested over 100 times, unit has been activated before.
When the
“Over usage” orange flashing appears, the AIS SART will still complete
the test procedure. However, it’s recommended to have the battery replaced and
the electronic witness reset to ensure that your AIS SART has the battery power
should the beacon requires it.
NOTE 2
– If the green or orange color is flashing over 3 minutes, GPS/GNSS
position may not be acquired. Move the AIS SART to a different location with a
clear view of the sky overhead.
