GENERAL WARNINGS 
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. 
It is desirable wherever possible therefore to verify both your vessel’s AIS derived position data and other vessels’ 
AIS derived position data with visual or radar based observations. The compass safe distance of this unit is 0.5m 
or  greater  for  0.3°  deviation.  IMPORTANT:  In  most  countries  the  operation  of  an  AIS  unit  is  included  under  the 
vessel’s  marine  VHF  license  provisions.  The  vessel  onto  which  the  AIS  unit  is  to  be  installed  must  therefore 
possess  a  current  VHF  radiotelephone  license  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 a policy of 
continual  development  and  product  improvement  the  NAUTICAST  B2  hardware  and  software  may  be  upgraded 
from  time  to  time  and  future  versions  of  the  NAUTICAST  B2  may  therefore  not  correspond  exactly  with  this 
manual.  When  necessary,  upgrades  to  the  product  will  be  accompanied  by  updates  or  addendums  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.
