Maintenance and troubleshooting
Introduction
This section deals with the maintenance and troubleshooting
that can be carried out by the system user.
Maintenance
WARNING
Power supply
Ensure that the system is isolated from your boat’s
power supply before carrying out any maintenance.
Your Raymarine Satellite TV system has been
designed to require minimal maintenance. The following routine
maintenance checks will ensure that your system maintains
peak performance:
•
Examine the cables for signs of damage, such as chafing,
cuts or nicks.
•
Check that all cables are firmly attached.
•
Wash the exterior of the antenna cover with fresh water to
remove salt deposits; a mild detergent may be added to
remove grime. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or solvents
such as acetone as this may result in irreparable damage to
the unit.
•
The antenna is not a sealed unit, DO NOT use a power
spray to wash the exterior as this may result in water
ingress and damage to the unit.
•
Twice a year remove the antenna cover and examine the
interior for signs of corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Your Raymarine product has been subjected to comprehensive
test and quality assurance programs prior to packing and
shipping. However, if your unit should develop a fault, please
refer to the following table to identify the most likely cause and
the corrective action required to restore normal operation.
If you still have a problem after referring to the table, contact
your local Raymarine dealer, national distributor or Raymarine
Product Support for further advice.
