GPS ANTENNA location on ship (is x in above Menu example) is located 200 meters from bow (A)
and 33 Meters from Starboard side (D).
Note: When only using internal GPS antenna it is ok to have default values for external position
since they are not used.
Ref.Points ext (Position of the external GPS antenna)
A = 200m the distance from bow (front) to the antenna.
B= 20m the distance from the antenna to the stern (rear)
C = 10m the distance from the port (left) side to the antenna
D = 33m the distance from the antenna to the starboard (right) side
Enter Ref.Point int (location of the internal GPS antenna) in the same way.
A = 220m the distance from bow (front) to the antenna.
B= 0m the distance from the antenna to the stern (rear)
C = 10m the distance from the port (left) side to the antenna
D = 33m the distance from the antenna to the starboard (right) side
Your reference points must match the entered ship dimensions. Length of ship = 220m and Beam =
43m. For incorrect dimension the AIS shows:
>>> ext/int ship len/beam don't match
After correct settings of the reference points and dimensions you can press M5 - [Save]. to save
your settings:

1.5 Service and User Passwords
WARNING: It is very important that the Service password not be lost. Keeping the
password in a second location may be wise. Memorizing the password is best. If you lose this
password, you cannot make any further configuration changes: Access to the AIS is blocked.
Another master key is not available and the unit would have to be returned to the ACR Service
centre. This service is not free of charge.
Once you have entered the system, please change the default password to your own passwords, for
both levels of access. Use different passwords for the different security levels. Your passwords must
meet the following criteria:
Minimum of six (6) characters, maximum of eight (8) characters
Letters must be in UPPER CASE
Acceptable characters are the A-Z alphabet and 0- 9 digits
Password may contain both letters and numbers
The User Password can be reset in the service configuration menu by entering the Service
Configuration menu and creating a new password.

3 NAUTICAST™Screens
The advanced version of the NAUTICASToffers three display modes:
Navigation Screen - Standard screen, automatically visible
Menu Structure - Visible after pressing the [Menu] Soft Key
Graphical User Interface - The Graphical User Interface is visible after pressing the [M2] Soft
Key (new mode)
3.1 Navigation Screen
This screen provides the user with Navigation Data from their own vessel and lists all other vessels
within receiving range. This screen automatically appears after a period of 60 seconds of user
inactivity on the Transponder.
Lines 1 3 of the Navigation Screen represent your own vessels data (display Latitude and
Longitude, Speed Over Ground, Course Over Ground, Heading, Date and the UTC).
After line 4, all data refers to other vessels within receiving range.
