Why does my Raymarine G-Series show 'No Fix'?
- T
  timothyhernandezAug 23, 2025
  If the Raymarine GPS displays a “No Fix” status icon, it means it cannot determine its position. This can occur if your geographic location or current conditions are preventing a satellite fix. Periodically check to see if a fix is obtained when conditions improve or you move to another location. Also, verify that the GPS connections and cabling are correct and without faults, and that the GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky. For GPS installation, refer to the manufacturer's handbook for detailed instructions.

Why can't I control my Raymarine G-Series thermal camera from the display?
- A
  Alicia JonesSep 1, 2025
  If you cannot control the thermal camera from the Raymarine display or keyboard, ensure the thermal camera application is running on the multifunction display, rather than the video application, which lacks camera controls.

Why are my Raymarine GPS fishfinder depth readings inaccurate?
- D
  Dalton HinesAug 31, 2025
  If you're experiencing problematic depth readings or sonar images on your Raymarine fishfinder, examine the fishfinder presets, gain, and frequency settings. Adjusting these settings can improve the clarity and accuracy of the readings based on your current conditions. Also, check the power, transducer, and other cables connected to the DSM unit to ensure they are properly connected and undamaged.

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 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 is my Raymarine G-Series GPS monitor blank?
- N
  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.

  margaret81Aug 25, 2025
  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.
