About Sirius-3
Your Sirius-3 has been designed to meet all requirements for use on
board a SOLAS convention vessel.
The Navtex 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 cannot be switched off.
There is no on/off switch, as the equipment must always be must
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.
