Checking for interference
Post installation check
If you have installed any system aboard a boat or made other
changes to the boat's electronic systems (radar, VHF radio etc.),
you need to check before casting off, that all electrical systems
operate satisfactorily without any undue electrical interference,
in order to conform with Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
D12043-1
regulations. To do this:
1. Ensuring it is safe to do so, turn on all electronic systems aboard
your vessel.
2. Check that the electronic systems all operate satisfactorily.
Using AIS
The exact method of using AIS depends on which type of Raymarine
multifunction display you are using.
Refer to the handbook for your multifunction display for information
on using your AIS.
