Installation Manual 5. Configuring the system (continued) d. Communication Warning The Communication warning is turned off by default. It monitors the GPRS data traffic, which requires a good cellular (GSM) network signal quality to work properly. If the cellular (GSM) network is strong at the location of your boat, you can turn it on. As long as no warning message is sent, the system communication is working. If the communication fails four times in a row (i.e. after 4 hours) the communication warning is triggered. It is automatically reset when the GPRS data communication works again. Note: It is common that the strength of cellular networks varies during day and night, so this setting often needs to be evaluated for a while. If the network is too weak, you may occasionally get communication warnings. Consider disabling the warning if this happens regularly. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide, section Communication related problems. 14
