To test the radiotelephone, follow the steps given below.
NOTE: This test requires that a separate VHF marine radio transceiver
be used to monitor transmitted and received signals.
Any transmissions effected for the purpose of testing the Survival Radio
shall be as brief as possible. The recommended test
message format is as follows: "<name of station
receiving the test message> THIS IS <name of
station transmitting this text><station call
sign or call letters>". EXAMPLE: "BLUE
DUCK THIS IS MARY JANE WXT599".
When a second radiotelephone or the
ship's receiver is utilized to monitor
proper operation of the Survival Radio,
the test distance between devices
should be kept to a maximum and the
following message format should be
observed:
transmitting this text> THIS IS <name
of
station
MOBILE 1". EXAMPLE: "MARY JANE
THIS IS MARY JANE MOBILE 1
WXT599"
NOTE: If the unit to be tested is not on
board the vessel containing the fixed
station, "UNIT 1" should be used rather
than "MOBILE 1".
