The Cortex™ M1 Hub indicator panel provides system status via orange, green and red illumination in various stages of solid or flashing.
As an example, the GPS icon flashes green momentarily when a fix is acquired and returns to solid green after a few seconds.
The VHF icon indicates VHF, AIS and DSC as these functions are all connected to the same AIS/VHF antenna.
Power ON is indicated with white light.
