13.2 Regular testing
It is important to perform regular testing of equipment to ensure proper operation,
such that you know it is in good working order in case of a potential distress situation.
Testing is completed by using the emergency test mode functionality within the radio.
To activate or deactivate the emergency test mode, do the following:
1. Select Emergency test from the menu.
2. Select ON
3. Select SAVE
4. Exit the menu to enable the mode
5. Select OFF
6. Select SAVE
7. Exit the menu to disable the mode
Testing should occur monthly if the radio is used regularly and at least once yearly
when stored on a lifeboat or raft.
Ensure you have an extra test battery available for use during testing
to avoid using a sealed lithium battery.
When testing the GMDSS radio, use the test battery included in your
purchase.
When testing the combined GMDSS and VHF Maritime radio, use the
rechargeable battery included in your purchase.
