The Cortex AIS Transponder works in conjunction with other vessels and
systems such as other AIS transponders and GPS devices. The accuracy of
this device and the AIS system can be affected by many factors, including
equipment failure or defects, environmental conditions and incorrect
installation, handling or use. Vesper Marine does not warrant that this product
is error-free. It is the user’s responsibility to exercise common prudence and
navigational judgement. This device should not be relied upon as a substitute
for such prudence and judgement. Always maintain a permanent watch so that
you can respond to situations as they develop. The prudent mariner will not
rely on a single aid to navigation. The user should verify that the information
obtained from this AIS Transponder is in accordance with expected situations
and conditions. The information is not guaranteed to be accurate or reliable
and this AIS Transponder is not a substitute for proper seamanship. Vesper
Marine Limited cannot be held liable for any injury, damage or loss, caused
by, during, or because of the installation, use or inability to use this device.
This AIS Transponder is to be installed and used entirely at your own risk. By
installing and/or using this AIS Transponder you fully accept this risk and agree
to hold Vesper Marine Limited harmless. If you do not agree to accept all risk,
return this product unused in its original factory condition to your dealer for a
full refund.
Intended Use
This product is intended to be used on leisure or commercial vessels
(excluding IMO/SOLAS class). Vesper Marine has designed and manufactured
this product to be used only aboard vessels.
Warranty Void
Do not disassemble the unit or remove the screws which hold it together. The
unit is sealed and disassembly will void the warranty.
FCC Warning
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Industry Canada Warning
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
This device complies with RSS-310 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to
the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
To satisfy RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a
separation distance of 2 metre or more should be maintained between the
antenna of this device and persons during device operation. To ensure
compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended.
The antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum
gain of 3dBi. Antennas having a gain greater than 3dBi are strictly prohibited
for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP)
is not more than that required for successful communication.
Pour satisfaire aux exigences d’exposition aux frequencies radio pour les
appareils mobiles de transmission, une distance de 2 mètre ou plus doit être
maintenue entre l’antenne de ce dispositif et les personnes pendant son
fonctionnement. Pour assurer la sécurité, les opérations plus près de cette
distance ne sont pas recommandées.
L’antenne utilisée pour ce transmetteur ne doit pas être co-localisés avec toute
autre antenne ou transmetteur.
Ce dispositif a été conçu pour fonctionner avec une antenne ayant un gain
maximalde 3dBi. Les antennes ayant un gain supérieur à 3dBi sont strictement
interdits pour une utilisation avec cet appareil. L’impédance d’antenne requise
est de 50 ohms.
Pour réduire le risque d’interférence aux autres utilisateurs, le type
d’antenne et son gain doivent être choisis pour que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) ne soit pas supérieure à celle requise pour une
communication réussie.
CAUTION - This device generates and radiates electromagnetic energy. This
device must be installed and operated according to the instructions contained
in this manual. Failure to do so may result in product malfunction and / or
exposure to potentially harmful levels of radio frequency radiation. Changes or
modifications to the unit not expressly approved by Vesper Marine Ltd will void
the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
CAUTION - The system has a Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) radius
of 2m from the antenna. This has been determined assuming the maximum
power of the transmitter and using a standard half-wave monopole VHF
antenna with a maximum gain of 3dBi and termination impedance of 50 ohms.
