After installing the antennas and hardware the following User, Voyage related and Ship Settings data needs to be entered. Upon Start-up (Applying power) enter the following information. a) Enter MMSI Number - See paragraph 1.2 on entering information. During the initial boot or after “factory settings” the user is asked to enter a valid MMSI number.
1.2 Entering the MMSI / IMO / DAC / ESN Numbers Select from the Main Menu “Service Configuration” Number 6.

The Elements in the Fairway View: Compass: Shows the current COG. Fairway Lines: The Fairway Lines are border lines of a virtual fairway oriented on the actual course over ground. AIS-Targets: Other AIS targets received via VHF are displayed, if their distance is within the range of the current zoom level. Own Ship: A symbol for the own ship is displayed in the middle of the screen and can not be changed. Horizontal Lines: The horizontal lines are the equivalent to the radar views distance rings.

Ship List / Minimized View Switch: This switch indicates whether targets can be selected from the Ship List or from the minimized view. If the arrow above the [M6] points to the left, targets can be selected from the Ship List with the [Up] and [Down] buttons. If the arrow above points to the right, targets can be selected from the minimized view with the [Up] or [Down] or [Left] or [Right] buttons. Regardless on which side of the screen targets are selected, both views correspond to each other.

5 Troubleshooting 5.1 Reading and understanding Alarms: The NAUTICAST differentiates between Alarm and TXT messages. An Alarm informs the user about major system malfunctions and failings in the connected sensors. The Alarm Status informs the user about all active Alarms. The Alarm will be disabled and deleted from the Alarm Status, as soon as the displayed problem has been rectified. The TXT status displays additional sensor information and the UTC clock status.
5.2 Alarm Codes ID Description Text 01 02 03 04 05 AIS: Tx malfunction AIS: Antenna VSWR exceeds limit (VSWR Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) AIS: Rx channel 1 malfunction AIS; Rx channel 2 malfunction AIS: Rx channel 70 malfunction Cause/Source System Reaction / Remedy VHF Antenna, cabling Reaction: The transponder unit stops transmission. If Alarm ID 01 and ID 02 are simultaneously displayed, then a major antenna problem has arisen.
