The antenna is pointing within
one of your programmed RF
radiation hazard zones. See
“Configuring RF Radiation
Hazard Zones” on page 25
details.
The transmitter is temporarily
disabled due to severe sea
conditions or excessive vibration.
The system is not yet receiving
valid position data from the GPS.
It might take several minutes for
the GPS to acquire a fix. If this
message does not clear, check for
antenna blockage and make sure
the antenna’s radome is clear of
grime. Also check for nearby
radio antennas or radars, whose
RF energy might interfere with
GPS reception. You can also try
turning the control unit off, then
back on.
The modem does not detect a
local area network (LAN) on its
“User Enet” port. Make sure the
switch is connected to the modem
via a straight-through, not
crossover, cable.
The modem is disabled because
its temperature has risen above
85ºC. Listen for the cooling fan
inside the modem. If you don’t
hear the fan, contact KVH
Technical Support. If you hear the
fan, turn off the system, allow it to
cool down, and vacuum the
modem’s vents. You might also
need to relocate the unit to an area
that provides better ventilation.
