Safety warnings
Warning: This equipment must be installed in accordance
with the instructions provided in this manual.
Warning: This AIS transponder is an aid to navigation and
must not be relied upon to provide accurate navigation informa-
tion. AIS is not a replacement for vigilant human lookouts and
other navigation aids such as RADAR. Also, take note that not all
vessels will have an AIS transponder turned on, or installed. The
performance of the transponder may be seriously impaired if not
installed as instructed in the user manual, or due to other factors
such as weather and or nearby transmitting devices. Compatibil-
ity with other systems may vary and is reliant on the third party
systems recognizing the standard outputs from the transponder.
The manufacturer reserves the right to update and change these
specifications at any time and without notice.
Warning: Do not install this equipment in a flammable
atmosphere such as in an engine room or near to fuel tanks.

a satellite-based location system such as the Global Positioning
Satellite (GPS) network. The accuracy of a GPS position fix is variable
and is affected by factors such as the antenna positioning, the num-
ber of satellites used to determine the position and for how long
satellite information has been received.
Compass safe distance
The compass safe distance of this unit is 0.3 m or greater for 0.3°
deviation.
