1.2.1 Position source
All marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) transceivers utilise a satellite
based location system such as the Global Positioning Satellite (GPS)
network.
The accuracy of a GNSS position fix is variable and is affected 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.
When reading this manual please pay attention to warnings
marked with the warning triangle shown on the left. These are
important messages for safety, installation and usage of the
product.
!
This equipment must be installed in accordance with the instructions
provided in this manual.
!
This AIS transceiver is an aid to navigation and must not be
relied upon to provide accurate navigation information. AIS is
not a replacement for vigilant human lookouts and other
navigation aids such as RADAR. The performance of the
transceiver may be seriously impaired if not installed as
instructed in the user manual, or due to other factors such
as weather and or nearby transmitting devices. Compatibility
with other systems may vary and is reliant on the third party
systems recognising the standard outputs from the transceiver.
The manufacturer reserves the right to update and change
these specifications at any time and without notice.
!
Do not install this equipment in a flammable atmosphere such
as in an engine room or near to fuel tanks.
