10.3 Troubleshooting according to the phenomenon 10.3.1 NOT READY “NOT READY” means that JUE-500 cannot receive the signal from the satellite, or cannot communicate with the satellite. Confirm the antenna pointing. (a) When GYRO I/F BOX is used (1) Is the GPS (Position) data received correctly? (2) Is the angle of SAT AZ/SAT EL correct? (3) Is the angle of HEADING correct? (4) Is the angle of BR/EL/Cross EL correct?
10.3.2 POSITION? "POSITION?" is displayed if JUE-500 cannot receive GPS data . JUE-500 equips GPS antenna on the backward of antenna pedestal of inner ADE. The reception of GPS data might be impossible depends on the direction of GPS antenna, due to the hull structures or mast of the ship causes the blocking of GPS satellite communication.
