FCC Compliance
NOTICE
In the USA, it is prohibited under FCC regulations to enter incorrect or
improper data, and it is prohibited for any person other than the manufacturer
or the installing dealer to input MMSI number.
It is a violation of the rules of the FCC to input an MMSI number that has not
been properly assigned to the user, or to otherwise input any inaccurate data
in this device.
Assigning Data to the Device
You must program the AIS 800 device with a valid vessel MMSI number
before installing the device on your boat. The device operates in silent mode
without a valid MMSI number. In silent mode, the device receives AIS signals,
but does not transmit position data. You can program the device to transmit
static vessel data including the vessel name, call sign, type, and dimensions,
which can include the location of your boat's GPS antenna.
Installing the AIS 800 Software on Your Computer
1Go to www.garmin.com/AIS800, select Software, and download the .zip
file to your computer.
2Connect the included USB cable to your computer and the USB port on the
AIS 800 device.
3Double-click the .exe file, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Programming the AIS 800
Before the device can be used on a boat, it must be programmed with a
unique MMSI number and with additional vessel-specific static data. The
MMSI number must be programmed by an authorized marine electronics
dealer or installer.
Before you can program the device, you must install the AIS 800 software on
your computer (Installing the AIS 800 Software on Your Computer, page 1).
1In the program, select the Static data tab.
2In the Connection and Status window, select COM11 from the drop-down
list.
3Select Connect.
4Enter your ship name, call sign, dimensions, vessel type, and MMSI
number (Assigning an MMSI Number to the AIS 800, page 1).
5Select Save data to AIS 800.
NOTE: The data is lost if the AIS 800 device is turned off. You must select
Save data to AIS 800 to permanently save your data.
6Select File > Exit.
Assigning an MMSI Number to the AIS 800
1Launch the AIS 800 setup software.
2In the Connection and Status window, select COM11 from the drop-down
list.
3Select Connect.
4In the Static Data window, enter your nine-digit MMSI number in the MMSI
Number field.
NOTICE
You cannot change the MMSI number after you assign the MMSI number
to your boat. If you assign an incorrect MMSI number, you must return the
device to the manufacturer for a factory reset.
5Select Save data to AIS 800.
Tools Needed
• Drill
• Drill bits appropriate for the surface and hardware
• Phillips screwdriver
• Pencil
Mounting Considerations
NOTICE
This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed to extreme
temperatures or conditions. The temperature range for this device is listed in
the product specifications. Extended exposure to temperatures exceeding the
specified temperature range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause
device failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related
consequences are not covered by the warranty.
• You must mount the device in a location where it will not be submerged.
• You must mount the device in a location with adequate ventilation where it
will not be exposed to extreme temperatures.
• If possible, you should mount the device horizontally, with the top of the
device facing upward.
• If you must mount the device vertically, you should orient it so the
connectors do not point upward. This helps avoid potential water retention
around the connectors.
• If you mount the device in a boat with a metal hull, you must connect the
device to an external GPS antenna.
Antenna Mounting and EME Exposure
WARNING
Radio operators with cardiac pacemakers, life-support machines, or electrical
medical equipment should not be exposed to excessive radio-frequency (RF)
fields, because the RF field may interfere with the function of their medical
equipment.
CAUTION
This device generates and radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic
energy (EME). Failure to observe these guidelines may expose people to RF
radiation absorption exceeding the maximum permissible exposure (MPE).
Garmin declares a MPE radius of 2.48 m (97.64 in.) for this system, which was
determined using 5 W output to an omni-directional, 6 dBi gain antenna. The
antenna should be installed to maintain a distance of 2.48 m (97.64 in.)
between the antenna and all people.
Mounting the Device
NOTICE
If you are mounting the device in fiberglass, when drilling the pilot holes, it is
recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through
Printed in Germany
May 2018
190-02422-91_0B
only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer
when the screws are tightened.
Before you mount the device, you must select a mounting location and
determine the mounting hardware needed for the surface.
NOTE: Mounting hardware is included with the device, but it may not be
suitable for the mounting surface.
1Place the device in the mounting location and mark the location of the pilot
holes.
2Using a bit appropriate for the surface and the mounting hardware, drill a
pilot hole for one corner of the device.
3Loosely fasten the device to the surface with one corner and examine the
other three pilot-hole marks.
4Mark new pilot-hole locations if necessary.
5Remove the device from the mounting surface.
6Drill the appropriate pilot holes for the other three marks.
7Secure the device to the mounting location.
Connection Considerations
Connecting the Wiring Harness to Power
1Route the wiring harness to the power source and to the device.
2Connect the red wire to the positive (+) battery terminal, and connect the
black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.
Connecting a VHF Antenna
1Mount the VHF antenna (sold separately) according to the installation
instructions provided with the antenna.
NOTE: You can purchase a VHF extension cable. Go to buy.garmin.com
or contact your Garmin dealer.
2Connect the VHF antenna to the VHF ANT port on the AIS 800 device.
Connecting the Device to a Remote GPS Antenna
This device must receive GPS information for proper functionality. The device
includes an internal GPS antenna. If your mounting location does not provide
good GPS reception, you can install a remote GPS antenna (not included) and
connect it to the device.
1Follow the instructions provided with your external GPS antenna to install it
on your boat correctly.
2Route the GPSantenna cable to the back of your device, away from
sources of electrical interference.
3Connect the GPS antenna cable to the GPS ANT port on your device.
NMEA 2000® Device Connections
NOTICE
If you are installing a NMEA 2000 power cable, you must connect it to the boat
ignition switch or through another in-line switch. NMEA 2000 devices will drain
your battery if the NMEA 2000 power cable is connected to the battery directly.
If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the “NMEA 2000
Network Fundamentals” chapter of the Technical Reference for NMEA 2000
Products. Go to www.garmin.com/manuals.
