4.8 Radio configuration and settings
This section describes the configuration and settings possible to control from the operator
front panel and this is not described elsewhere in this manual.
If your equipment needs configuration beyond these possibilities, you must call you dealer
for special support.
4.8.1 Idle display
Whenever the radio is left in a state where the information/message display is not in use
(pure radio communication mode), the information display will return to idle or stand-by
mode. This will also be the case if the unit was left in a simple menu for 10 minutes.
The required and preferred default idle display is the one where position and time stored for
DSC operation are shown along with the ship’s identity (9-digit MMSI). This mode will always
appear after start-up. The user might change the default display to be blank (zero illumination
to minimize disturbance at night). To use this mode menu (4.6.3) select Idle Display .
Pressing OK will toggle the blank display to be used.
If the blank display is selected for idle display, and the radio goes into activity mode, the idle
mode will just leave the screen blank. To display the position and identity information quickly
in this mode you can press the on/off button for a short time. This will show the information
screen for 15 seconds before it turns off.
4.8.2 Notations for date and time
On the idle display and when the UTC radio time needs to be manually updated the notation
for time entry is:
• yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm
In all logs (DSC logs and system logs)
• dd/mm hh:mm (in overview list)
• dd/mm-yy hh:mm:ss (in detail log descriptions)
The above notations are in force regardless of conventions that might traditionally be used in
languages other than English.
4.8.3 Language
The RT5022/RT5020 is pre-programmed with a number of language packages. It is possible
to change the overall text in the information/text display to a language different from the
default language (English), by selecting the appropriate language in the Language menu
(4.6.4). Only the languages shown in this menu are supported. New languages can only be
distributed along with official software updates.
The RT5022/RT5020 is approved with the default language. Therefore the following mode of
operation is implemented:
