NMEA Operation
Your radio supports NMEA0183 (version 4.10), a standard for data communication between
marine instruments. NMEA sentences contain different sets of data related to your ship.
When your radio received another boat's position data in a DSC call, the radio sends the
position data to the chart plotter so you can see the location.
When the radio receives a DSC call (Distress, Position Reply, or Position Send), it outputs
DSC/DSE sentences from the NMEA output port in the following formats:
$CDDSC,12,3081234000,,07,00,0354013946,0657,,,S,E*6D
x
$CDDSE,1,1,A,3081234000,00,60875646*13

If your NMEA device does not initially receive data from your radio, check the accessory
cable connection and NMEA0183 parameters.
Make sure the NMEA0183 is ON in the POS DATA OUTPUT menu.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Due to its rugged design, your radio requires very little maintenance. However, it is a
precision electronic instrument, so you should follow a few precautions:
If the antenna has been damaged, do not transmit except in an emergency situation.
x
Doing so may cause further radio damage.
You are responsible for continued FCC technical compliance of your radio.
