Lost Target

A target is declared a lost target when it fails to produce data for six minutes or
five reporting intervals, whichever is the shorter. When this occurs, the target is
marked with the (flashing) lost target symbol and the indication "LOST" appears
in the Alert Box. To acknowledge a lost target, press the [ALARM ACK] key, or
use the trackball to select the ALARM ACK box then push the left button.
Note 1: If a TT lost target mark is displayed when the [ALARM ACK] key is
pressed (or the ALARM ACK box is clicked) to acknowledge an AIS lost
target, the TT lost target also is erased.
Note 2: The AIS data transmission interval depends on target's speed. For
example, the data is transmitted every 10 seconds on ship speed of 0 to
14 knots and every two seconds on the ship speed of more than 23
knots. For details see the owner's manual of the AIS.
