and Off. This Setup tab also allows you to simulate Distress Calls
and Position Reports while the unit is in Simulator Mode

helps to check if alarms are working properly.

AIS

AIS (Automatic Identification System) provides area traffic
situational awareness. AIS provides ship IDs, position, course, and
speed for ships equipped with a transponder within range.
NOTE: You must set your charplotter communication to
NMEA In / NMEA Out with a baud rate of 38400 to receive
AIS information. Refer to
communication settings.
AIS Setup options
AIS contain two setup options in the main menu.
• AIS Vessels—Auto, All Ranges, 30ft-800mi: sets the
maximum zoom scale at which AIS vessels appear.
• Heading Line—Off, Time: draws an extension from the end
of the boat icon in the direction of travel. For Time, enter the
numeric time value you want the line to extend. The Time
line length automatically adjusts as your speed changes.
