The SMARTFIND GMDSS NAVTEX is now ready to receive NAVTEX messages.
Receiving NAVTEX messages
When the SMARTFIND GMDSS NAVTEX begins to receive a signal, one or more of
the receiver icons at the top of the screen will appear to indicate which of the
receivers is active.
When a complete message has been received, a pop-up appears on the display
indicating that a new message is available and the "unread message" icon flashes.
The message can be read by pressing the Enter key, or the popup can be removed
without reading the message by pressing the Right key. As each new message is
received, the SMARTFIND GMDSS NAVTEX may also generate a single short beep
to attract attention to the new message. This audible alert can be disabled on the
Setup mode: System options page if it is not required.
Any messages that are not read immediately will be marked with the "unread
message" symbol in both the Index and Summary modes. The "unread message"
icon at the top of the display continues to flash until all messages have been read.
Note that while the popup Navtex message box is on display only the Enter or Right
buttons have any effect; all other keys are disabled until the popup box is removed.
