GN70/MX61X AIS operation
The GN70/MX610/MX612 CDU can display AIS targets provided
by the V5035 AIS transponder by pressing the AIS hot key. You can
zoom-out by turning the ROTARY KNOB counter-clockwise or zoom-
in by turning it in clockwise direction. AIS targets can be displayed
as overlay on the plotter screen. This feature is an important tool
for safe travelling and collision avoidance. You need to have your
own MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) number entered in
the CDU to be able to receive addressed messages from AIS and
DSC vessels. It is also important to have the MMSI number entered
to avoid seeing your own vessel as an AIS target on the plotter. You
can define alarms to notify you if an AIS target gets too close or if
the target is lost.
