Step 1 - Update The System Software - KVH Industries TracPhone V7-HTS Conversion Instructions

Step 1 - Update the System Software

Connect power to the system. Then follow the
instructions in the system's Help menu or User's
Guide to update the system software to the latest
version of V7-IP software.
Step 2 - Power Off the System and Remove
the Radome
Follow the steps below to power off the TracPhone
system and remove the radome to begin the
conversion process.
1. Power off and unplug the ICM or CommBox-
ACU and modem to disconnect power from the
antenna. Follow all shipboard lockout-tagout
procedures, where applicable.
WARNING
To prevent injury, disconnect power from the
system before proceeding and keep it
disconnected for the duration of this procedure.
Failure to disconnect power risks electric shock,
potentially resulting in DEATH.
2. Remove and discard the six #10-32 screws
securing the radome to the baseplate (see
Figure 2). Carefully lift the radome straight up
until clear of the antenna assembly and set it
aside in a safe place. Do not place the radome on
a hot steel deck – the heat may warp the
radome.
NOTE: If you keep the radome topside, secure it with a
lanyard to prevent it from falling overboard.
