About your AIS class B transceiver
Page 5
In most countries the operation of an AIS transceiver is included under the vessel's marine VHF licence provisions. The vessel on to
which the AIS unit is to be installed must therefore possess a current VHF radiotelephone licence which lists the AIS system, vessel Call
Sign and MMSI number.
2.3 Important information for US customers
There are specific laws in the USA regarding the configuration of AIS class B transceivers.
If you are a US resident and intend to use your AIS class B transceiver in US waters, you should make sure that your retailer has
configured your product prior to supplying it to you. If your AIS transceiver has not been pre-configured please contact your dealer for
details of how to have it configured.
2.4 Special Features
This AIS Transceiver is Wi-Fi enabled, allowing for AIS data to be streamed from the transceiver to a 3rd party device or software ‘App’.
The transceiver also provides an in-built vessel data logger which will continuously record its own GPS position and can also be
downloaded over Wi-Fi. The product is also configured with an anti-tamper mechanism, ensuring that when installed it cannot be used
on any other vessel. This AIS Transceiver is also equipped with satellite detection technology, which can be switched on or off via the
ProAIS Configuration Tool.
An MMSI number is required in order for the AIS transceiver to operate. Please contact the relevant authority in your
country for more information.
!
In the United States of America, the MMSI and static data must only be entered by a competent installer. The end user
of the equipment is not authorised to enter their own vessel data.
