Raymarine AIS350 Installation Instructions Manual page 35

Note: You can request an MMSI number from the FCC when
you apply for a Station License. If your vessel does not require
a license, you may obtain an MMSI by contacting BoatUS
(www.boatus.com). Once obtained, you can program the MMSI
number into your AIS device as described in the documentation
accompanying the transceiver.
Programming the MMSI & static data
Important: In the United States of America, it is a violation of the
rules of the Federal Communications Commission to input an
MMSI that has not been properly assigned to the end user or to
otherwise input any inaccurate data in this device. The MMSI
and Static Data must be entered only by a Raymarine dealer or
other appropriately qualified installer of marine communications
equipment on board vessels. Instructions for entering the MMSI
and static data are given in the documentation on the CDROM
supplied with the AIS transceiver.
Once static data has been programmed, you must not change
it. If the information programmed is no longer correct, contact
the Raymarine help desk or the dealer or retailer from whom you
purchased the transceiver, to arrange reprogramming.
Antenna Mounting & EME Exposure
This system has a Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Radius of
1.5 meters (per OET Bulletin 65), assuming the maximum power of
the radio and antennas with a maximum gain of 3 dBi. Accounting
for the height of an average adult (2 meters) the minimum height
of the antenna above the deck to meet RF exposure compliance
requirements is 3.5 meters. Do not operate the transceiver when
anyone is within the MPE radius of the antenna, unless shielded
from the antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier.
AIS650 Class B transceiver
Warning: Maximum Permissible
Exposure
Failure to observe these guidelines may expose those
within the maximum permissible exposure (MPE)
radius to RF radiation absorption that exceeds the
FCC MPE limit. It is the radio operator's responsibility
to ensure that no one comes within this radius.
For optimal radio performance and minimal human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy,
make sure the antenna is:
• connected to the radio before transmitting
• located where it will be away from people
• located at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) from the radio's
main unit
