Many AIS manufacturers do not implement the full set of AIS SMS
messages. The AI80 has a complete set of AIS SMS messages
including Addressed, Safety related addressed and Safety related
broadcast messages accessible from the display. Please note that
Addressed (addressed binary message 6) is often excluded by other
AIS manufacturers. Therefore it is recommended that the user uses
Safety related messages instead of Addressed.
The Outbox
Outbox contains all sent messages. If the receiving AIS unit
acknowledged the message, a check-sign is shown in front of that line.
The latest message is on top. If the user wants to re-send or read a
message, select a message with UP/DOWN and press OK.
Viewing and editing predefined messages
Select Predefined and press OK to enter the Predefined page. Here
the user can edit, view or delete a previously defined message. Press
OK to view, EDIT to change and DEL to delete a message. Reading a
predefined message has the same functionality as reading a message in
Inbox, except that EDIT allows the user to edit the predefined
message.
How to write a predefined message
Enter the Write Predefined page by selecting it and pressing OK.
Press
EDIT to write a new predefined message. Every predefined
message is identified by a name. Write this identifier under Name and
continue with the predefined message under Message. Enter text by
pressing the character buttons, enter numbers by first pressing
SHIFT.
Press SHIFT again to return to character buttons. Enter SPACE and
other non-alphabetic symbols by using the Number 1 button. When
the message is completed, hold OK to save.
4.8 The alarm system
The AI80 system does not include an internal acoustic alarm. It is,
however, possible to connect an external alarm to the system. See the
