4.16.3 How to view messages
When an AIS message is received, the system automatically stores the message in
the message list. If [AUTO DISP MESSAGE] in the [AIS TARGET MENU] is set to
[ON], the envelope icon on the [AIS message] button, on lower half of the InstantAc-
cess bar
™
, changes to a blue color to indicate a new, unread message is stored.
The system stores up to 200 AIS messages. When the storage capacity is reached
the oldest AIS message is automatically erased to make room for the latest. Note that
only received messages are backed up when the power is turned off. AIS alert mes-
sages are not backed up.
You can access the received messages from the InstantAccess bar
