About the Sirius-3 Navtex receiver
Your Sirius-3 has been designed to meet all requirements for use on
board a SOLAS convention vessel.
The Navtex receiver has three separate receiver channels, 490 kHz,
518 kHz and 4,209.5 kHz, for simultaneous reception of Navtex
messages.
It can be set up to filter stations and/or message types that are not
required by the user, however, some message categories at 518 kHz
are mandatory and can therefore not be switched off.
There is no on/off switch, as the equipment must always be turned
on, so that Navtex messages are received even in port.
If the equipment is installed with an external switch at the main
electrical switchboard, please, be sure that the equipment is turned
on at least one hour before departure.
The touch screen is the only Man-Machine-Interface.
It is designed for fingertip operation only.
Please, do not use sharp instruments when keying the buttons or
texts.
