Introduction
The WIB2D is a small portable NAVTEX receiver. The device receives simultaneously
NAVTEX-messages on medium wave frequencies 518 kHz (international, English) and on
490 kHz (national, national language).
The NAVTEX messages are displayed on 128 x 64 pixel LCD. The WIB2D equiped with
an inserted precision air pressure sensor, is able to record the air pressure during a period
of up to seven days. On the device display only the air pressure of the last two days can
be seen.
An antenna installation is not necessary, since the WIB2D is equipped with an internal
ferrit rod antenna. The device is equipped with rechargeable batteries (3 x NiMH, Typ
AAA). The battery capacity lasts for approx. three days of operation.
The device can be connected to the PC via an USB interface. The data of the WIB2D will
be displayed by a comfortable Windows software. The software is working with the
operating systems Windows 2000, XP and Vista, available in German, English and French
version.

selected. With the button ◄ the previous menu step can
be reached until the main base.
Practice a while with the handling of the cursor buttons,
until you are familar.
On top of the display the actual air pressure, the air pressure tendency and the
temperature are displayed. The displayed values are updated every minute.
The battery icon (on top of the right) displays the state of charge of the batteries. If the
batteries are charged, the icon blinks in second cycle. Please note: The device heats up
with charging batteries. The displayed temperature is thereby corrupted.
