171. What statement is true regarding tests and maintenance that could be provided for the SART?

Full verification within manufacturer's specifications by the on-board maintainer would be a requirement for all vessels in the A3 & A4 sea areas using measuring equipment to generate 9 GHz signals.
Battery should be replaced within the 90 day grace period following the manufacturer's expiration date shown on the SART and the SART should only be tested at-sea to reduce interference to other vessels.
Extreme care should be exercised because testing of the SART may be received by other vessels, may be interpreted as a Distress condition , or it may interfere with other vessels' safe navigation .
Battery should be replaced with a new one before the manufacturer's expiration date shown on the SART and the SART should only be tested in port to reduce interference to other vessels.
