4 Operation

Please read the warning notices at the front of this manual before operating 
the AIS transceiver. 

4.1 Using the AIS transceiver

Once the unit has been configured it is ready for use. Providing other vessels 
with AIS transceivers installed are within radio range of your vessel you should 
see their details appear on your target list.
These vessels will also be able to see your vessel on their chart plotter or PC. 
It may take up to six minutes for your full vessel details to be visible to others. 
Specific details of how to configure your chart plotter to make use of the AIS 
transceiver features will be given in your chart plotter manual.
If you are using charting software running on a PC, please refer to the 
instructions provided with your chart plotting software for details of how to 
configure it to display AIS information.
