To use the Raymarine VHF model with part number 4250031:

1. Ensure Correct Power Supply: Confirm it is connected to a 12VDC or 24VDC power source.

2. Antenna Setup:
- Use a suitable VHF antenna (3dBi gain, 156–162 MHz).
- Mount the antenna as high as possible and away from metal structures or other antennas.
- Use high-quality RG213 or RG214 cable, no longer than 30 meters.

3. Check Wiring: Verify all wiring is correctly connected.

4. Screen Operation:
- If the display is not lit, press and hold the "Navigation status / Screen brightness" button for at least 5 seconds.

5. Troubleshooting Alarms:
- If a VSWR alarm activates, check antenna placement and cable quality.
- If the red alarm icon is flashing, ensure the unit is configured with a valid MMSI.

6. Junction Box:
- Install the junction box within 2 meters of the AIS transceiver.

If problems persist, contact the dealer for further support.
