AIS OPERATION

Connected to the FURUNO AIS Transponder FA-150, the FR-8xx2 series can show the name,
position and other nav data of the nearest 100 AIS transponder-equipped ships. (For connection
of other makes of AIS transponders, AIS Interface IF-1500AIS (option) is required.)
This radar accepts position data fixed by WGS-84 geodetic datum. Set the datum to WGS-84 on
the GPS navigator connected to this radar. If this radar is interfaced with the FURUNO GPS Nav-
igator GP-320B, see paragraph 5.2 for the procedure. Additionally, confirm that Mode on the GPS
menu is set to GPS or WAAS, referring to page 5-1. The AIS function is inoperative if the mode is
DGPS.
