the Transceiver has been installed correctly and is operational.

A tick next to the items in this area indicates correct operation.
•
If a red cross is shown then some action may be required:
o
Transceiver MMSI valid has a red cross - check the MMSI of the unit is configured by selecting the 'Static
Data' tab and verifying that a valid MMSI has been entered. If the MMSI is 000000000 then it has not been
programmed.

fix to be acquired. If the red cross is still present check the GPS antenna is correctly connected and has a
clear view of the sky.
o AIS has transmitted a position report has a red cross - the unit has not yet transmitted its position. Please
allow up to 5 minutes after GPS fix has been acquired for the green tick to appear. If the red cross is still
present after this time please refer to the active alarms section below. The AIS will not transmit unless it has
acquired GPS fix and has a valid MMSI programmed.
o AIS has received a position report - a position report from another vessel has been received. If there is no
other AIS equipped vessel in the area the red cross will remain against this item. If other AIS equipped
vessels are present and the red cross remains please check the VHF antenna connections.
