When installing the antenna and operating the equipment consider the
following:
The antenna should be mounted as high above deck as possible.
Higher gain VHF antennas will require a larger MPE radius.
Do not operate the unit when anyone is within the MPE radius of the
antenna.
The antenna should not be collocated or operated in conjunction with any
other transmitting antenna.
MMSI Programming Warning
IMPORTANT: In most countries the operation of a VHF unit may require the
possession of a current VHF radiotelephone license which lists the AIS system
and the vessel Call Sign and MMSI number.
An MMSI number is required in order for this device to operate DSC or as an
AIS transmitter. Please contact the relevant authority in your country for more
information.
For Customers in the USA
This device must be programmed with data corresponding to the vessel on
which it will be installed. Programming must be carried out by a Vesper Marine
dealer. The included instructions contain information on how to verify the
correct programming.
WARNING: It is a violation of the rules of the Federal Communications
Commission to input an MMSI that has not been properly assigned to the end
user, or to otherwise input any inaccurate data in this device.
CAUTION: The bottom surfaces of the M1 hub may become hot to touch
during long periods of VHF transmission.
