1.1 General Warning
All marine automatic identification system (AIS) units utilize a satellite based system such as the
global positioning satellite (GPS) network or the global navigation satellite system (GLONASS)
network to determine position. The accuracy of these networks is variable and is affected by
factors such as the antenna positioning, how many satellites are used to determine a position
and how long satellite information has been received for. Therefore it is desirable wherever
possible to verify both your vessels AIS derived position data and other vessels AIS derived
position data with visual or radar based observations.
The easyTRX3 software is intended for use as an installation and configuration tool. The
application is not a navigation tool and should not be used as such.
1.2 Licensing (MMSI) for AIS Class B
Important: in most countries the operation of an AIS unit is included under the vessels marine
VHF license provisions. The vessel on to which the AIS Class B unit is installed must therefore
possess a current VHF radiotelephone license for the AIS Class B unit which lists the AIS system
and the vessel call sign and MMSI number. Please contact the relevant authority in your country
for more information. In accordance with our policy of continual development and product
improvement the easyTRX3 hardware and software may be upgraded from time to time and
future versions of the easyTRX3 may therefore not correspond exactly with this manual. When
necessary, upgrades to the product will be accompanied by updates or addenda to this manual.
Please take time to read this manual carefully and to understand its contents fully so that you
can install and operate your AIS system correctly.
Information contained in this manual is liable to change without notice. Weatherdock AG
disclaims any liability for consequences arising from omissions or inaccuracies in this manual and

1.3 Warnings and Precautions
It is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of the ship to command the vessel safely and to
be in full control of all operating conditions during the entire travel time. By mistaken conduct
of the operator of a ship equipped with a device from the easyTRX3 product line if the operator
does pay undivided attention to operation and surrounding condition damage or personal injury
may be caused in the event of an accident.
