Before you start
The SAILOR MF/HF System 6000B Radiotelex system must be set up for
telex. This involves the following steps:
At the time of installation
1. The Message Terminal is configurable to be either a mini-C GMDSS
terminal or a Radiotelex terminal. At the first power-up you must set up
the Message Terminal to be a Radiotelex terminal.
2. At first power up you must also configure the answer back string and
the ID for your system. For further information, see the installation
manual for the SAILOR 6300 MF/HF DSC [2].
3. The MF/HF radio must be enabled to use telex. This is done by entering
a PIN code in the MF/HF transceiver. For further information, see the
installation manual for the SAILOR 6300 MF/HF DSC [2].
Before use
1. The Message Terminal must be on.
2. The MF/HF radio must be in telex mode: On the MF/HF radio, push the
Mode button repeatedly until the display shows TLX.
For details, see the user manual for the SAILOR 6300 MF/HF DSC [1].
