5.1 Preventative Maintenance
The UAIS transponder system is an essential part of the ship’s navigation system
and is a vital component for the safety of the ship and its crew. It is therefore very
important to maintain the system and its installation to a very high standard. The
design of the UAIS transponder ensures that maintenance can be kept to a
minimum, however it is good practice to perform a performance check at least once
every week.
5.2 VDU Touch-Screen
To optimise performance of the touch-screen VDU and cabinet, ensure they are
kept clean and grease-free. Use a clean damp cloth, or for heavier deposits use a
clean, damp cloth and a mild solution of dish washing detergent and water. Do not
use any spirit or alcohol based solvents, gasoline or oils.
5.3 Electrical Connections
Periodically check the electrical connections; ensure that no cables are frayed or
worn, and that all connections are tight and sound.
5.4 Repair and Service

user serviceable parts. Changing fuses is described in Section 6 – Troubleshooting.
