congratulations on your purchase. your XB-8000 / XB-6000 
AIS Transponder is a class B AIS Transponder with integrated 
NMeA 2000 and wiFi* connectivity.

The XB provides information to improve your situational awareness and assist in 
avoiding collisions at sea. Because it consumes very low power it may be left  
turned on whenever your vessel is underway. It works by interpreting Universal 
Shipborne Automated Identification System (AIS) messages which are sent over  
VHF by transponders installed on other vessels. The AIS system uses two dedicated 
VHF channels designated for this purpose and with the installation of the XB to 
receive these signals, you can distribute this information to other devices on board 
your vessel (e.g. chart plotters, laptops, smart phones) using NMEA 2000, USB and 
WiFi*. In addition, your vessel data is transmitted to other AIS-equipped vessels 
within range.
