Raymarine Customer FAQ

To cancel a blinking distress signal on your Raymarine equipment, press the red "DISTRESS" button, navigate to the "Cancel Distress" option and confirm your selection. Be aware, however, that cancelling a distress signal should only be done if the distress situation has been resolved. If help is still needed or the distress signal was sent accidentally, contact the local authorities or Coast Guard and let them know immediately to avoid unnecessary search and rescue operations. This process can slightly differ depending on your device model, so consult your user manual for specific instructions.

It sounds like your Raymarine A70d's GPS is having some calibration or reception issues. We recommend first checking the GPS status for any problems. Ensure the GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky, unobstructed by metal objects or electronics. You could also consider performing a system reset, though keep in mind this will erase any waypoints, routes, or tracks you have saved. If you've done all of the above and the issue persists, it may be a problem with the GPS receiver itself. Please note that GPS fixes can occasionally have slight inaccuracies due to atmospheric conditions or satellite position.
