1.2 Turning the Power On and Off
Press the PWR key to turn the equipment on or off. When powered, the
equipment sounds a beep then proceeds in the sequence shown below.
The startup screen displays the program version number and the results of the
ROM, RAM and backup data test, showing OK or “NG” (No Good) as the result.
If “NG” appears for any of the check result, try resetting the power to restore
normal operation. If that does not work, contact your dealer for advice. After the
startup test is completed the plotter display appears, showing the messages
“NO OWN SHIP POSITION AVAILABLE.” and “NOW INITIALIZING.” These
messages mean that position data has not yet arrived and the transponder is
initializing itself, respectively. When both messages disappear, the equipment
is ready for use. If the message “ENTER MMSI!” appears, the vessel’s MMSI
has not been registered in the equipment. Enter MMSI.
If there is no response from the transponder unit or AIS symbols do not appear,
the message “COMMUNICATION ERROR” appears on the screen. Press any
key to erase the message. Check if the transponder unit is powered. Also
check the connection between the monitor unit and the transponder unit.
