Which of these cannot happen when a paper...

🔍 Key Concepts

• NAVTEX as a dedicated MSI (Maritime Safety Information) receiver that prints messages on paper • What happens to reception vs printing when the paper runs out on a paper-model NAVTEX • Whether a simple paper NAVTEX set can automatically switch to a completely different MSI system like SafetyNET (satellite)

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask: Is this something that depends only on having paper, or on the radio receiver itself? • Consider whether a basic NAVTEX printer has the technical ability to change to another GMDSS MSI system on its own. • Think about what the unit can still do electronically (receive, alarm, store) even when it cannot physically print.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which options describe loss of printing only versus loss of reception of MSI. • Check whether NAVTEX and SafetyNETTM are separate systems that normally require different equipment and frequencies. • Confirm if any option assumes a capability that a simple paper NAVTEX set is not designed to have, such as automatic switchover to another MSI service.

Which of these cannot happen when a paper model NAVTEX receiver runs out of paper?

The unit is unable to print messages and all subsequent MSI broadcasts may be missed until the paper is replaced.

It may give off either an audible and/or visual alarm.

MSI messages may be missed because the unit cannot print them out.

The system will automatically change from receiving MSI by NAVTEX to receiving it by SafetyNETTM so that no messages will be lost .
