USB
• When you connect the WatchMate to your PC or Mac using USB, it will
automatically create a COM port (see configuration section). This COM port
may then be used with the vmAIS utility or 3rd party navigation software.

.
• The first time you plug it in, most operating systems will automatically install
the necessary drivers.
• If a COM port is not created the first time you plug it in, you may need to
install the drivers manually. Download the USB drivers from

TROUBLESHOOTING
STATUS
DESCRIPTION
MMSI CONFIGURED
You must have a valid MMSI programmed before you
can transmit your position (see configuration section).
SILENT MODE IS OFF
Silent mode is on. If this is not intentional check silent
mode is switched off in AIS settings.
STARTUP COMPLETE
Before the WatchMate can transmit it needs 1 minute
to initialize.
GPS POSITION FIX
The WatchMate requires a GPS fix before it can transmit
its position. This may take a few minutes. If it is taking
a long time check your GPS antenna installation (see
GPS antenna section) and GPS signal strength on the
My Position screen.
POSITION REPORT SENT
This may happen from time to time in very busy areas
with lots of AIS traffic. This is normal behaviour for
a Class B AIS device.
VSWR OK
Check your antenna installation. Use the VSWR meter
in advanced AIS settings. A poorly tuned antenna, bad
cabling or connections are typical reasons for a high
VSWR. Your WatchMate will continue to operate
normally but transmit performance will degrade.
The symbol indicates your AIS data is not being transmitted. It is located
at the top left of the screen, touch it to reveal the AIS Transponder Status.
