INSTALLING THE DISPLAY
The Clipper Easy navtex is not waterproof and should only be cabin
mounted. Select a convenient position for the display on a panel or
bulkhead. The site must be flat and the cavity behind the panel
must remain dry at all times. Cut a hole in the panel 103mm high
by 143mm wide. (The cut out in the cardboard packaging can be
used as a template).
Alternatively the display can be mounted on a cradle bracket available
from Nasa Marine spares department.
Unscrew the wing nut from the rear of the receiver and take off the
mounting clamp. Fit the “O” ring in the groove on the rear and place
the unit in the hole in the panel. Refit the mounting clamp, replace,
and finger tighten the wing nut.
Plug the power cable into the socket on the rear of the receiver and
connect to 12 volts. (The red wire to positive and the wire with the
black strip to negative. The unit is protected against reverse polarity).
Push the moulded antenna plug into its socket on the rear of the
receiver.

USING THE CLIPPER EASY-NAVTEX
When power is first connected, your Clipper EASY-NAVTEX displays
the last message it has received. Pressing any key will turn on the
backlight which will stay on for four minutes after the last key press.
The keys will then allow you to view the previous message by
pressing OLDER or go to the signal spectrum screen by pressing
SIGNAL. Each time OLDER is pressed the display moves to the
message recorded prior to the one displayed ( Keeping your finger on
the key will continuously scroll back through messages.) whilst
pressing NEWER moves to the next message recorded. If the
message is longer than can be viewed on a single screen then the
keys DOWN and UP are available to scroll the message while TOP
returns to the beginning of that message.
Note:- The keys will be momentarily inactive whilst the screen is being
updated.
