IMPORTANT NOTE

The USB cable of the AIT2000 is designed to be used for configuring/programming the unit during installation
and not for permanent connection to the boat's Navigation PC.
If you intend to permanently connect the AIT2000 to a PC or MAC via a USB interface, we recommend that
you use our NMEA to USB adaptor cable which will protect the AIT2000 from voltage differences, noise and
electrical spikes that can occur in marine installations.
