AIS Distress Signals

Self-contained AIS distress signal devices transmit
emergency position reports when activated. The
chartplotter can receive signals from Search and Rescue
Transmitters (SART), Emergency Position Indicating
Radio Beacons (EPIRB), and other man overboard
signals. Distress signal transmissions are different than
standard AIS transmissions, so they appear differently on
the chartplotter. Instead of tracking a distress signal
transmission for collision avoidance, you track a distress
signal transmission to locate and assist a vessel or
person.

Navigating to a Distress Signal Transmission

When you receive a distress signal transmission, a
distress signal alarm appears.
Select Review > Go To to begin navigation to the
transmission.

Enabling AIS Transmission Test Alerts

To avoid a large number of test alerts and symbols in
crowded areas such as marinas, you can select to receive
or ignore AIS test messages. To test an AIS emergency
device, you must enable the chartplotter to receive test
alerts.
1 Select Settings > Alarms > AIS.
2 Select an option:
• To receive or ignore Emergency Position Indicating
Radio Beacon (EPRIB) test signals, select AIS-
EPIRB Test.
• To receive or ignore Man Overboard (MOB) test
signals, select AIS-MOB Test.
• To receive or ignore Search and Rescue
Transponder (SART) test signals, select AIS-SART
Test.

Turning Off AIS Reception

AIS signal reception is turned on by default.
Select Settings > Other Vessels > AIS > Off.
All AIS functionality on all charts and 3D chart views is
disabled. This includes AIS vessel targeting and
tracking, collision alarms that result from AIS vessel
targeting and tracking, and the display of information
about AIS vessels.
