cable and the supplied proAIS2 software.
The manner in which configuration is carried out depends on the legal requirements of your
geographical location.

In the USA, it is a legal requirement that the configuration is performed by a suitable dealer.
You can use the supplied proAIS2 PC software, to check the vessel data programmed into your
AIS700. If this information is incorrect please contact your Raymarine dealer.

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.
