10.2.2.5 Test Communication
The Communications Test is used to test the VHF communication by transmitting a request for an
acknowledgement to another ship. The target is automatically selected by the Display Unit, but the user
can choose to select another target as long as the target is a Class A AIS transponder. If the
Acknowledgment is not received within 10 seconds, the Communications Test has failed and the user
should optionally retry with another target.
If the TR-8000 is in “Silent mode”, it is not possible to
perform this test:
If not, we can continue with the test:
Step #1: Select Target
Step #2: Press “Test”
Step #3: Wait until test finished
Success: or Failure:
If the TEST fails, we can select another target and redo the test
