Ais Alarms; Buddy Tracking - Raymarine a67 Wi-Fi Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

13.13 AIS alarms

The AIS functions generate a number of alarms to alert you to
dangerous or lost targets.
In addition to the dangerous target alarm, the system generates
an alarm when a dangerous target becomes a lost target i.e. its
signal has not been received for 20 seconds.
Your AIS receiver generates local alarms which are displayed
and sounded on your multifunction display whenever an alarm
condition exists on the unit.
Local AIS alarms
When the connected AIS unit generates an alarm, your
multifunction display shows a local alarm message and indicates
the alarm status in the status bar.
Active AIS alarms list
The active alarm list shows the status of each local alarm. This
list can be accessed from the chart application by going to Menu
> AIS Options > AIS Unit Set-up > View AIS Unit Log, or from
the radar applications by going to Menu > Track Targets > AIS
Unit Set-up > View AIS Unit Log.
Acknowledging AIS alarms
In the chart or radar application:
1. Select Ok on the alarm dialog box.
Note: An AIS alarm remains active until it is acknowledged
on your multifunction display.

indicate this.

How it works
When the AIS Layer is enabled in the chart or radar application,
AIS targets are shown on your display. You can add any AIS
target to a "Buddy List", each entry consisting of an MMSI
number, and an optional name. Subsequently, whenever Buddy
Tracking is enabled on your multifunction display, and a "Buddy"
vessel with an MMSI number sails into the range of your AIS
receiver, an AIS Buddy icon is displayed. Up to 100 vessels
may be added to the Buddy List.
