APPENDIX B:

Checking Your Boat Remote for Proper Op- eration

We recommend that you test your Boat Remote weekly to be sure it is functioning properly. This will ensure that when a problem arises the Boat Remote will be ready to alert the appropriate personnel.

There are several tests that can be performed:

1)Call the unit and listen to the Status Report. This will test the unit’s ability to answer the phone and speak a message. It will also verify that all of the inputs are reading properly, the alarm conditions are OK, the electricity is on, the microphone is functioning, and that the battery voltage is OK.

2)Create an alarm on each input and allow the unit to contact all programmed telephone numbers. This will ensure that the Boat Remote is programmed properly. It will also prepare personnel to respond appropriately when they receive a call from the Boat Remote.

3)Test the battery backup system by unplugging the AC adapter and making sure that the Boat Remote continues to function. Press WHAT IS then STATUS on the keypad, and listen to the status report. Make sure the report states that “the AC power is off” and that the battery voltage is at an accept- able level. Keep the AC adapter unplugged so that a Power Failure alarm occurs. Allow the unit to dial all programmed telephone numbers while running on battery backup. Plug in the AC adapter after the unit has finished dialing all of the telephone numbers.
