TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Check that :-

• The antenna is mounted vertically, and is sited clear of obstructions

• The vessel is operating within the coverage area of a NAVTEX

transmitter

• The NAVTEX station(s) selected are transmitting, two small squares at

the right hand side of the ICS NAV5plus display show whenever a

NAVTEX signal is received

• The required NAVTEX station and message categories have not been

de-selected in the ICS NAV5plus set-up menu

Antenna

Check that the antenna is clear of obstructions and has not suffered

external damage. Check that the antenna cable is not damaged.

Receiver

Perform a system self test - refer to Self Test section for details.

• At scheduled transmission time, look for two small squares at the right

hand side of the ICS NAV5plus display; these flash whenever a

NAVTEX signal is received.

Printer

If there is no sign of life from the printer after power up and a printer fault is

shown on the LCD display, check that there is no paper jammed in the

printer.

• If the printer operates but nothing is printed, check that the paper roll is

of a type recommended by ICS and that the ‘heat sensitive side’ of the

paper is uppermost (as that paper exits the door, test with a ‘hot’ item).

Paper Out

• In the case of a “Paper Out” alarm, replace the paper roll

• If the paper has not run out, check that the paper roll is fitted correctly
