AIS OPERATION

The FURUNO AIS (Automatic Identification System) model FA-100 or FA-150
exchanges with other AIS-fitted ships all data and information required by the
SOLAS 1994 as amended. However, they are displayed in text form. By
interfacing the FA-100 or FA-150 with this radar, the AIS information is
graphically indicated together with the radar and TT information.
For the IMO specification, position data must be fixed by WGS-84 geodetic
datum and speed input must be ground tracking. If other type of datum is input,
the error message "DATUM" appears and the AIS feature is inoperative. This
restriction does not apply to other types.
When AIS is active, MANUAL and REF in the speed source selection window
are shown in gray to indicate they are not available for selection.
You may disable or enable the AIS display from the AIS DISP box.
