IMPORTANT NOTES
Our new Class B+ transponders need to be programmed/configured using a new updated version of our
proAIS2 software which is not yet on the supplied product CD. Please download the relevant version of our
new proAIS2 software V1.10 from our website
https://digitalyachtamerica.com/software-and-utilities/
If you intend to permanently connect the AIT2500 to an onboard computer via USB, we recommend using our
NMEA to USB Adaptor cable for extra protection against static discharges and supply voltage spikes.
