How to resolve 'Antenna not connected' error on Koden Marine Radar?
If you receive an 'Antenna not connected' error on your Koden Marine Radar, check the antenna connecting cable and reconnect if necessary, because the antenna connecting cable may be disconnected.
What to do if there is neither heading nor latitude/longitude input on Koden Marine Radar?
If you attempt to set a mark without heading and latitude/longitude input on your Koden Marine Radar, provide both heading and latitude/longitude before setting a mark.
What if there is neither heading nor speed input on Koden MDC-2240 Marine Radar?
If you attempt to acquire ATA without heading and speed input on your Koden Marine Radar, ensure both heading and speed inputs are available when acquiring ATA.
Why does Koden MDC-2240 display 'No own ship information'?
The 'No own ship information' message on your Koden Marine Radar appears because heading, speed, and latitude/longitude signal cannot be input during chart display. Ensure that heading, speed, and position data are correctly input.
What to do if Koden MDC-2240 Marine Radar shows 'No signal on Speed'?
If your Koden Marine Radar indicates 'No signal on Speed', ensure VHV, VHW, VBW, VTG, RMC, or RMA signals are being received.
How to fix 'No signal on Heading' on Koden MDC-2240?
If you are getting a 'No signal on Heading' message on your Koden Marine Radar, confirm the reception of HDT, HDG, HDM, VTG, RMC, or RMA signals.
What happens if there is no speed input on Koden Marine Radar?
If you attempt to acquire ATA without speed input on your Koden Marine Radar, ensure you input speed to acquire ATA.
What to do if there is no heading input on Koden Marine Radar?
If you are experiencing a lack of heading input on your Koden Marine Radar, and you've attempted to select a display mode other than H-UP, ensure that a heading input is available before changing the display mode.
