delivery. To ensure that the system operates properly after installation
and configuration, carry out the following procedures before using the
system.

Important!
The microphones shall be installed in such a way that they are
as far away from noise sources on the vessel as is practically
possible, where wind-induced noise from objects (such as wires )
and mechanical vibrations are reasonably reduced.

Set master panels to on. When the green status / self test LED is
steadily lit, use a horn or similar device that sends out harmonic
signals with a higher SPL than the background noise to activate each
microphone. The master panel shall activate the diode from the correct
direction. At the minimum, check all sides FWD, AFT, STB and PORT.
