In the USA it is illegal for an end user to configure their own AIS with
their vessel data. To do so is a violation of the rules of the United States
Coast Guard (USCG). This must be done by a competent installer, such
as em-trak, an em-trak dealer or competent marine electronics profes-
sional. If your transceiver has not been pre-configured for you please
refer to your dealer or contact [e-mail] for advice on how
to have the transceiver configured legally. If purchasing direct from
em-trak online we can configure it for you and dispatch it pre-config-
ured at no extra cost, if you are purchasing from one of our dealers,
then they will do it for you.
•The AIS transceiver has been
commanded by the local authority (via
an AIS base station) to cease transmis-
sions.
Red LED indicator
Indicates that the AIS transceiver has
detected a system error. The likely
causes of this are detailed in the
troubleshooting guide in the B200 user
manual. Alarms displayed in the Diag-
nostic tab of the em-trak configuration
tools will also assist with troubleshoot-
ing.
Blue LED indicator
Indicates that silent mode is enabled.
Silent mode is a feature of the B200
that ceases the transmissions from your
own vessel, whilst the reception of
other vessel position reports continue.
You can activate this using the configu-
ration tools or by activating the toggle
switch as detailed in the B200 user
manual.
Green/Yellow/Red LED indicator
Indicates the AIS transceiver is operat-
ing from the internal battery. The colour
of the indicator flashes give information
on the charge state of the battery:
green - good charge level; yellow - ok
charge level; red - low charge level.

Data can be streamed to two WiFi and seven Bluetooth* devices
simultaneously.

LED indicators
Green LED indicator
Indicates that the AIS transceiver is
configured, powered up and operating
normally.
Amber LED indicator
Indicates that the AIS transceiver is not
transmitting. This can be for a number of
reasons:
•The AIS radio channels are
exceptionally busy so there are
currently no available slots for
transmission.
•The unit has been in silent mode and
after deactivating silent mode this amber
LED indicator will illuminate until the first
AIS message has been sent.
*Please note that Bluetooth is not supported by Apple devices.
