24 Raymarine Automatic Identification System Receiver
Safety messages
When the status of the AIS Safety Messages function is set to
ON in the AIS Layer Setup Menu (see page 18), any incoming
safety messages from surrounding vessels, shore stations and
mobile stations, are displayed in a pop-up box. If known, the
message will include the sending vessel’s position as latitude
and longitude.
Using the softkeys you now have the option to:
• Remove the message (ACKNOWLEDGE)
• Place a waypoint on your chart/radar to mark the sending
vessel’s position.
• Select to GOTO the sending vessel’s position.
Note: When the simulator is operating you will not be able to re-
ceive any safety messages.
Simulator
We recommend that you use the simulator to familiarize yourself
with the AIS function.
When the system simulator is switched on your Raymarine
display, it will display 20 AIS targets within a 25nm range. These
targets are displayed using the appropriate AIS targets status
symbol (see page 20) and move around the screen as if they
were real targets.
Important: Incoming safety messages cannot be displayed
while the simulator is switched on.

your boat, within which a target is
