    Why are data not transmitted to external equipment on my Furuno Boating Equipment?
    • K
      Karen EdwardsJul 31, 2025
      If data is not being transmitted to external equipment, verify the data format in the [5 I/O] menu is correct. Ensure the TX interval is properly selected and not set to off. Check the settings on the external equipment and verify the connections. Connect the TD-A of the GS-100 to the RD-A of the external equipment, and the TD-B of the GS-100 to the RD-B of the external equipment.

    What to do if the icon shown in the right appears on the display of Furuno Boating Equipment?
    • D
      Douglas JacobsAug 16, 2025
      If the specified icon appears on the display, it may indicate that the SC-30 is installed, in which case you should mount the GS-1001. Alternatively, the antenna vibration frequency may be over 5G; if these icons appear frequently, try changing the antenna location or implement measures against the vibration. Also, the common satellite for antenna 1 and 2 may be blocked, so try changing the antenna location.
