Maintenance and troubleshooting
Introduction
This section deals with maintenance and troubleshooting that can be
carried out by the system user.
Maintenance
Your Raymarine Satellite TV system has been designed to require minimal
maintenance. The following routine maintenance checks will ensure that
your system maintains peak performance:
•
Examine the cables for signs of damage, such as chafing, cuts or nicks.
•
Check that all cables are firmly attached.
•
Wash the exterior of the antenna cover with fresh water to remove salt
deposits; a mild detergent may be added to remove grime. DO NOT use
abrasive cleaners or solvents such as acetone as this may result in
irreparable damage to the unit.
•
The antenna is not a sealed unit, DO NOT use a power spray to wash
the exterior as this may result in water ingress and damage to the unit.
•
Twice a year remove the antenna cover and examine the interior for
signs of corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Your Raymarine product has been subjected to comprehensive test and
quality assurance programs prior to packing and shipping. However, if your
unit should develop a fault, please refer to the following table to identify
the most likely cause and the corrective action required to restore normal
operation.
If you still have a problem after referring to the table, contact your local
Raymarine dealer, national distributor or Raymarine Product Support for
further advice.
