5.1 Using the AIS transceiver

Once the unit has been configured it is ready for use. Providing other vessels with AIS

transceivers installed are within radio range of your vessel you should see their details appear on

your chart plotter or PC. These vessels will also be able to see your vessel on their chart plotter

or PC. It may take up to six minutes for your full vessel details to be visible to others.

Specific details of how to configure your chart plotter to make use of the AIS transceiver features

will be given in your chart plotter manual. If you are using charting software running on a PC,

please refer to the instructions provided with your chart plotting software for details of how to

configure it to display AIS information.

5.2 Using a memory card

A memory card of the ‘SD’ or ‘MMC’ type can be used with your AIS transceiver to perform a

number functions:

• Automatically configure the AIS transceiver with the vessel data for the vessel.

• Provide a mechanism for updating the software within the AIS transceiver.

• Provide the facility to record voyage data. Recorded data can be played back using a

suitable PC application to replay your voyages.

Please refer to Figure 13 for details of how to insert the memory card.
