    Why is only Video Input 1 working on my Raymarine G-Series GVM video module?
    • R
      Robin DouglasSep 23, 2025
      If only Video Input 1 on the GVM video module is working, and the GVM video module has been previously connected to a thermal camera, you must reset the GVM before you can use its other inputs if you no longer want to connect a thermal camera to the GVM video module.

      If your Raymarine system or a component isn't starting, the issue might stem from the power supply. Begin by inspecting the relevant fuses and breakers. Ensure the power supply cable is in good condition and that all connections are secure and free of any corrosion. Lastly, confirm that the power source matches the correct voltage and provides sufficient current.

      Nicholas ButlerAug 26, 2025
      If your Raymarine monitor is blank, first ensure it is switched on and not in standby mode. If the screen remains blank, check the fuses, breakers, and power connections to the battery or originating power supply to ensure the monitor is receiving power.

    Why is my Raymarine G-Series GPS keyboard LCD blank?
    • D
      Devin DeckerAug 27, 2025
      If the Raymarine keyboard LCD is blank, check the keyboard wiring and power to the SeaTalkng bus. If it's a wireless keyboard, connect it to the charge point to ensure it has sufficient power.

    Why does my Raymarine G-Series monitor say 'Searching' or 'No signal'?
    • P
      peggy09Aug 27, 2025
      If your Raymarine monitor displays a “Searching” or “No signal” message, and your monitor is a repeater, allow a few minutes for the system to start up and see if the problem resolves itself. If not, ensure the monitor is set to the correct input channel. If using a glass bridge monitor, verify the cable from the GPM400 is connected to DVI1 on the rear of the monitor. Also, check the cable/connection between the monitor and the GPM400 processor or the appropriate signal source.

    Why is the image on my Raymarine G-Series display too dark or light?
    • J
      Jessica HillSep 14, 2025
      If the image on your Raymarine display is too dark or too light, use the brightness controls at the display to adjust accordingly. Also, use the appropriate softkeys in the thermal camera application to adjust the contrast and brightness of the image. A particular environment may benefit from a different Scene Mode setting.

    Why can't my Raymarine G-Series GPS keyboard access monitor setting menus?
    • B
      brownmichaelSep 12, 2025
      If the Raymarine keyboard does not operate monitor setting menus, ensure you are using the G-Series Command Center keyboard and not the Compact variant, as only the Command Center keyboard allows you to adjust the monitor setting menus.

    Why is the image on my Raymarine G-Series display noisy?
    • S
      Sean FisherSep 12, 2025
      If you are seeing a noisy image on your Raymarine display, ensure that the video cable is no longer than necessary. If the cable is picking up electromagnetic interference (EMI) from another device, use a high-quality shielded cable and ensure proper cable separation, avoiding running data and power cables in close proximity.

    Why is instrument data missing from all my Raymarine G-Series displays?
    • M
      Mark TaylorSep 4, 2025
      If instrument, engine, or other system data is unavailable at all Raymarine displays, check the data bus (e.g., SeaTalkng) wiring and connections. Also, check the overall integrity of the data bus wiring.

    Why is the Raymarine G-Series monitor picture aspect ratio incorrect?
    • T
      Tyler GreenSep 2, 2025
      If the Raymarine monitor picture aspect ratio is incorrect, and the GPM400 is connected to multiple monitors, ensure that all monitors connected to a single GPM400 have the same screen resolution and aspect ratio.
