4.3 How long does a self-test take?
The device attempts to determine a GPS position for up to 15 minutes. Once the
position has been determined, test messages are transmitted by VHF containing the
calculated position and the text "SART TEST”. A test may take between 2 and 15
minutes.
The test result will be displayed for 5 seconds only , immediately
after the self-test.
The duration of the self-test depends primarily on the time needed to
determine the current GPS position. This can vary and may take as
long as 15 minutes. Pay close attention to the device when performing
the self-test in order not to miss the status being issued.
