96 | Appendices | RS90 Operating ManualAppendicesAppendix 1 - Troubleshooting 1. The radio will not power up. A fuse may have blown or there is no voltage getting to the transceiver. Check the power cable for cuts, breaks, or squashed sections. After checking the wiring, replace the 7 Amp fuse. Check the battery voltage. This must be at least 10.5V. 2. The transceiver blows the fuse when the power is switched on. The power wires may have been reversed. Check that the red wire is connected to the positive battery terminal, and the black wire is connected to the negative battery terminal. 3. The speaker makes popping or whining noises when the vessel’s engine is running. Electrical noise may be interfering with the transceiver. Re-route the power cables away from the engine. Add a noise suppressor to the power cable. Use resistive spark plug wires and/or use an alternator whine filter. 4. No sound from the external speaker. Check that the external speaker cable is physically connected. Check the soldering of the external speaker cable. 5. Transmissions are always on low power, even when high (Hi) power is selected. The antenna may be faulty. Test the transceiver with a different antenna. Have the antenna checked out. 9Draft v5.0 27 Feb 2014
| 97Appendices | RS90 Operating Manual6. Battery symbol is displayed. The power supply is too low. Check the battery voltage. This should be at least 10.5 V ± 0.5 V DC.Check the alternator on the vessel. 7. GPS alarm sounds and LCD shows: Please check GPS link! The NO GPS symbol is shown. GPS data has been lost. This sequence will repeat every 4 hours until GPS data from an operational GPS receiver is available. The GPS cable may faulty or the GPS setting may be incorrect:Check that the GPS cable is physically connected. Check the polarity of the GPS cable. Check the baud rate setting of the GPS if applicable. The baud rate setting should be 4800. Parity should be set to NONE.Appendix 2 - Keys referenceVOLThe volume control is on the side of RS90 handset This key also adjusts the volume of an external speaker, if connected. 16 / 9Press [16/9] to immediately switch to the priority channel.Press again to return to your original channel.

| 105Appendices | RS90 Operating ManualAppendix 8 - DSC informationClass D equipment, which is specifically designed for recreational vessels, provides VHF DSC distress, urgency and safety as well as routine calling and position polling. Class D equipment includes a dedicated channel 70 DSC receiver, so you will never miss a DSC call.Position polling refers to requesting the position of another vessel at regular intervals.Appendix 9 - AIS informationThere are several types of AIS device as follows:Class A transceivers Class A transceivers are similar to class B transceivers, but they are designed to be fitted on large vessels such as cargo ships and large passenger vessels. Class A transceivers transmit at a higher VHF signal power than class B transceivers and therefore can be received by more distant vessels, and also transmit more frequently. Class A transceivers are mandatory on all vessels over 300 gross tonnes on international voyages and certain types of passenger vessels under the international Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations.Class B transceivers Similar to class A transceivers in many ways, but are normally lower cost due to the less stringent performance requirements. Class B transceivers transmit at a lower power and at a lower reporting rate than class A transceivers.AIS transceivers AIS transceivers are used by Vessel Traffic Systems to monitor and control the transmissions of AIS transceivers.Aids to Navigation (AtoN) transceivers. AtoN transceivers are mounted on buoys or other hazards to shipping in order to transmit details of their location to the surrounding vessels.The RS90 VHF radio includes an AIS receiver-only function.
