In the USA it is illegal for an end user to congure 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 professional. If your transceiver has not been pre-congured for you please
refer to your dealer or contact [e-mail] for advice on how to have the
transceiver congured legally. If purchasing direct from em-trak online we can
congure it for you and dispatch it pre-congured at no extra cost, if you are
purchasing from one of our dealers, then they will do it for you.

LED indicators
Green LED indicator
Indicates that the AIS transceiver is congured,
powered up and operating normally.
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 B900 Series user
manual. Alarms displayed in the Diagnostic tab of the
em-trak conguration tools will also assist with
troubleshooting.
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 rst AIS message has been sent.
•The AIS transceiver has been commanded
by the local authority (via an AIS base station)
to cease transmissions.
Blue LED indicator
Indicates that silent mode is enabled. Silent mode
is a feature of the B900 Series that ceases the
transmissions from your own vessel, whilst the
reception of other vessel position reports continue.
You can activate this using the conguration tools
or by activating the toggle switch as detailed in the
B900 Series user manual.
