Fault finding

All Raymarine products are designed to provide many years of trouble-free
operation. We also put them through comprehensive testing and quality
assurance procedures before shipping.
If a fault occurs with your SmartController, use the fault finding tables in this
section to help identify the problem and provide a solution. If you cannot
resolve the problem yourself, refer to the product support information.
