Pour satisfaire aux exigences d’exposition aux frequencies radio pour les appareils mobiles de transmission, 

une distance de 1 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.

MMSI Programming Warning

IMporTANT:

 In most countries the operation of an AIS unit is included under the vessel’s marine VHF license 

provisions and the vessel on which this device is to be installed may be required to possess 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 as a 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.

RF Emissions Warnings

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 1m 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.

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.
