How to Use the AIS Display Filter

If there are too many AIS targets on the screen you may wish to remove unnecessary
ones. You can remove sleeping targets class A/B by distance from own ship, speed
and class. For example, you might want to remove slow moving targets, as they nor-
mally do not require close monitoring.
1. Open the [MAIN MENU].
2. Select [TT•AIS], then press the left button.
3. Select [AIS DISP FILTER], then push the left button.
4. Referring to the table below, select the appropriate filtering type, then press the
left button.
Filter type
[MAX RANGE]
[MIN SHIP SPEED]
[EXCEPT CLASS B]
[EXCEPT BASE STATION]
[EXCEPT PHYSICAL ATON]
[EXCEPT VIRTUAL ATON]
5. Rotate the ADJUST knob to set the selected filter's options, then push the AD-
JUST knob.
6. Close the menu.
7. Place the cursor on the [AIS] box, then press the left button several times to dis-
play "DISP FILT" in the [AIS] box.
Note: This function is not available for an activated target.

How to Activate AIS Targets

When you convert a sleeping target to an activated target, that target's course and
speed are shown with a vector. You can easily judge target movement by monitoring
the vector.
Sleeping targets within an acquisition zone are automatically changed to activated tar-
gets and are colored red. See section 3.15 for how to use acquisition zones.
