GPS setup
If a GPS receiver is connected to the NMEA port of the RS90, the
radio will automatically receive the vessel’s position and local time
from the GPS.
If GPS data is not available for some reason, the radio will sound the
NO GPS alert for 2 minutes (or until you press any key).
If the GPS data becomes older than 4 hours, the NO GPS alert will
sound, and it can only be silenced manually or by the reception or
manual entry of new GPS data.
If the vessel’s GPS data is older than 23.5 hours, the data will be
erased and the NO GPS alert will sound.

- Troubleshooting
1. The radio will not power up.
A fuse may have blown or there is no voltage getting to the
transceiver.
Check the power cable for cuts, breaks, or squashed sections.
After checking the wiring, replace the 7 Amp fuse.
Check the battery voltage. This must be at least 10.5V.
2. The transceiver blows the fuse when the power is switched on.
The power wires may have been reversed.
Check that the red wire is connected to the positive battery
terminal, and the black wire is connected to the negative battery
terminal.
3. The speaker makes popping or whining noises when the vessel’s
engine is running.
Electrical noise may be interfering with the transceiver.
Re-route the power cables away from the engine.
Add a noise suppressor to the power cable.
Use resistive spark plug wires and/or use an alternator whine filter.
4. No sound from the external speaker.
Check that the external speaker cable is physically connected.
Check the soldering of the external speaker cable.
5. Transmissions are always on low power, even when high (Hi) power
is selected.
The antenna may be faulty.
Test the transceiver with a different antenna.
Have the antenna checked out.

Check the alternator on the vessel.
7. GPS alarm sounds and LCD shows: Please check GPS link! The NO
GPS symbol is shown.
GPS data has been lost. This sequence will repeat every 4 hours
until GPS data from an operational GPS receiver is available. The GPS
cable may faulty or the GPS setting may be incorrect:
Check that the GPS cable is physically connected.
Check the polarity of the GPS cable.
Check the baud rate setting of the GPS if applicable. The baud rate
setting should be 4800. Parity should be set to NONE.

Class D equipment, which is specifically designed for recreational
vessels, provides VHF DSC distress, urgency and safety as well as
routine calling and position polling. Class D equipment includes a
dedicated channel 70 DSC receiver, so you will never miss a DSC call.
Position polling refers to requesting the position of another vessel at
regular intervals.
Appendix 9
- AIS information
There are several types of AIS device as follows:
Class A transceivers
Class A transceivers are similar to class B transceivers, but they are
designed to be fitted on large vessels such as cargo ships and large
passenger vessels. Class A transceivers transmit at a higher VHF
signal power than class B transceivers and therefore can be received
by more distant vessels, and also transmit more frequently. Class A
transceivers are mandatory on all vessels over 300 gross tonnes on
international voyages and certain types of passenger vessels under
the international Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations.
Class B transceivers
Similar to class A transceivers in many ways, but are normally lower
cost due to the less stringent performance requirements. Class B
transceivers transmit at a lower power and at a lower reporting rate
than class A transceivers.
AIS transceivers
AIS transceivers are used by Vessel Traffic Systems to monitor and
control the transmissions of AIS transceivers.
Aids to Navigation (AtoN) transceivers.
AtoN transceivers are mounted on buoys or other hazards to
shipping in order to transmit details of their location to the
surrounding vessels.
The RS90 VHF radio includes an AIS receiver-only function.

AIS Static and dynamic information
Defined transmit rates for Class A vessels shown below are provided
for reference purposes only. The frequency of messages received
vary due to a number of factors including but not limited to such
factors as antenna height, gain and signal interference.
Static information is either broadcast every 6 minutes, when data
has been amended, or upon request.
Dynamic information is broadcast depending on speed and course

Special notes on USA channel usage
1. Low power (1 W) only.
2. Receive only.
3. Low power (1 W) initially. Override to high power by holding
down H/L key before transmitting. Used normally in bridge-tobridge communications.
4. Lightly shaded simplex channels 03A, 21A, 23A, 61A, 64A, 81A,
82A, and 83A cannot be lawfully used in U.S. waters unless special
authorization is obtained from the U.S. Coast Guard. Not for use by
the general public.
5. The letter “A” illuminated by the channel number indicates the
USA channel is simplex.
This same channel is always duplex when selecting International.
There is no “A” reference for Interna­tional channels. The letter “B” is
only used for some Canadian “Receive only” channels.
6. Channel 70 is designated for use exclusively for Digital Selective
Calling (DSC), such as Distress, Safety, and Ship Calls. No voice
communication is allowed on CH70. This channel is only available
on DSC enabled radios.

Appendix 13 - MMSI and license
information
You must obtain a user MMSI (Marine Mobile Service Identity) and
enter it into your RS90 in order to use the DSC functions. Contact
the appropriate authorities in your country. If you are unsure who to
contact, consult your Simrad dealer.
The user MMSI is a unique nine digit number, similar to a personal
telephone number. It is used on marine transceivers that are
capable of using DSC (Digital Select Calling).
Depending upon your location, you may need a radio station
license for the RS90. You may also need an individual operator’s
license.
Simrad recommends that you check the requirements of your
national radio communications authorities before operating DSC
functions.
