SYSTEM menu and adjust if necessary.
CAUSE: The Boat Remote is connected to an incompatible tele-
phone line.
SOLUTION: Some telephone systems will not allow the telephone to
ring beyond 4 rings. If your Boat Remote’s Rings Until Answer is set
at more than 4 rings you may not be able to access the unit. Try
setting the Rings Until Answer to less than 4 rings. If this does not
correct the problem, it may indicate telephone line incompatibility. In
this case, try connecting the Boat Remote to a standard residential
telephone line.
PROBLEM: The Boat Remote and another telephone answering
device (sharing the line) answer incoming calls simultaneously.
CAUSE: The Boat Remote’s number of Rings Until Answer is set to
the same number of rings for the other device.
SOLUTION: Change the number of Rings Until Answer for the Boat
Remote to a number greater than the rings for the other device.
Also, make sure the TAD (Telephone Answering Device) option is
set to ON in the SYSTEM menu.
PROBLEM: The Boat Remote recites the alarm message over
the telephone, but is silent at the installation site.
CAUSE: The speaker is turned off.
SOLUTION: Turn the speaker on by changing the speaker on/off
parameter in the SYSTEM menu.

connect or replace the wiring.
PROBLEM: The temperature reading is 160.1°F or 72.1°C.
CAUSE: The temperature sensor wires are touching.
SOLUTION: Verify and correct wiring.
PROBLEM: The temperature reading is inaccurate.
CAUSE: An incompatible temperature sensor is attached to the Boat
Remote.
