General warnings
All marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) units utilize a satellite
based system such as the global positioning satellite (GPS) network to
determine position. The accuracy of these networks is variable and is af-
fected by factors such as the antenna positioning, how many satellites
are used to determine a position and how long satellite information has
been received for. Therefore it is desirable wherever possible to verify
both your vessels AIS derived position data and other vessels AIS derived
position data with visual or radar based observations.
Warnings and precautions
It is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of the ship to com-
mand the vessel safely and to be in full control of all operating condi-
tions during the entire travel time. By mistaken conduct of the operator
of a ship equipped with a easyWATCHBOX if the operator does pay un-
divided attention to operation and surrounding condition damage or
personal injury may be caused in the event of an accident.
Caution:
It is the duty of the operator to handle the easyWATCHBOX with care.
The device cannot release you from your obligations of due diligence!
Thus it is important at all times to keep a proper lookout.
