4.8 Confirming correct operation
Following entry of the vessel information the AIS transceiver will commence
normal operation. Correct operation should be verified as follows:
1. Select the ‘ Own dynamic data ’ option from the ‘Home’ menu.
2. Check that the displayed position, course, speed and heading (if
appropriate) are correct by comparing the displayed position to other
data sources.
3. Check that the ‘ TX’ icon flashes periodically.
4. If the vessel is in an area where other AIS equipped vessels are
present press the ‘ Back / Home ’ key and select ‘ Target list ’ to check
that data from other AIS equipped vessels is displayed.
5. Go to the ‘Home’ > ‘System settings’ > ‘System Information’ screen
and select ‘Hardware status’, check that the supply voltage and
antenna VSWR are correct.
