Use these instructions to program and install the Garmin® AIS 600 marine Automatic Identication System (AIS) Class B transponder device. Compare the contents of this package with the packing list on the box. If any pieces are missing, contact your Garmin dealer immediately. WARNINGWhen navigating, carefully compare information provided by the unit to all available navigation sources, including information from visual sightings, local waterway rules and restrictions, and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies or questions before continuing navigation.Use this unit only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the unit for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography.This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This Notice is provided in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. See www.garmin.com/prop65 for more information. CAUTIONWear safety goggles and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.NoticeTo prevent possible damage to your equipment, the VHF antenna must be connected to the AIS 600 before transmitting. This ensures that the power output to the antenna port dissipates properly when transmitting.Electromagnetic Energy Exposure and Antenna MountingThe AIS 600 generates and radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME). Failure to observe these guidelines may expose persons to RF radiation absorption exceeding the maximum permissible exposure (MPE).Garmin declares an MPE radius of 59 in. (1.5 m.) for this system, which was determined using 2 watts output to an omni-directional 9 dBi gain antenna. The antenna should be installed such that a distance of 59 in. (1.5 m) is maintained between the antenna and all persons.When sharing the VHF antenna with a VHF radio, refer to the documentation provided with the radio for additional MPE information specic to the installed VHF radio. WARNING:Radio operators with cardiac pacemakers, life-support machines, or electrical medical equipment should not be exposed to excessive radio-frequency elds.Operate the device in accordance with the instructions supplied.NoticeThe device complies with internationally recognized standards covering human exposure to electromagnetic elds from radio devices.Check with the local authorities for any antenna or operational restrictions that may apply.Safe Compass DistanceEnsure that you install the AIS 600 transceiver box at least 15 3/4 in. (40 cm) from any compass. Test your compass to verify that it operates correctly when the device is operating.Licensing RequirementsIn many countries, the operation of an AIS device is included in the VHF license provisions. Therefore, the vessel on which the AIS 600 is installed must possess a current VHF license that lists the AIS system, the vessel Call Sign, and the vessel MMSI number. Contact the relevant authority in your country to ensure that your VHF license covers the AIS 600 device.AIS 600 InstructionsDecember 2009 190-01151-00 Rev. B Printed in Germany
2 AIS 600 InstructionsProgramming the AIS 600Before the AIS 600 can be used on a boat, it must be programmed with a unique MMSI number and with additional vessel-specic static data. The AIS 600 should be programmed by an authorized marine-electronics dealer or installer. Use the AIS 600 Setup Software on the included CD-ROM to program the AIS 600. NoticeIn 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 Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) data.It is a violation of the rules of the Federal Communications Commission to input an MMSI that has not been properly assigned to the user, or to otherwise input any inaccurate data in this device.Preparing the AIS 600 and the PC for ProgrammingPC RequirementsMicrosoft® Windows® 2000 or newer; minimum 32 MB of RAM; minimum 10 MB of free hard drive space.To connect the AIS 600 to a PC for programming:1. Connect the AIS 600 transceiver box to a 12 or 24 Vdc power source using the power/data cable (see page 5).2. Use the included mini USB cable to connect the USB port on the AIS 600 transceiver box to a USB port on your computer. The Windows Found New Hardware Wizard runs automatically.3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver automatically.Installing the AIS 600 Setup Software:1. Insert the CD-ROM provided with the AIS 600 into your computer. The Installation Wizard for the AIS 600 Setup Software runs automatically. NOTE: To run the AIS 600 programming Setup Software installer manually, run the Setup.exe le on the CD-ROM.2. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the AIS 600 Setup Software on your computer.Assigning Data to the AIS 600The AIS 600 must be programmed with a valid vessel MMSI number before use. Until a valid MMSI number is programmed, the AIS 600 will operate in silent mode only. When in silent mode, the AIS 600 will not transmit position data, though it can still receive AIS signals. Optionally, the AIS 600 will transmit the following static vessel data when assigned:Vessel nameVessel call signVessel typeVessel dimensions (including the location of the GPS antenna on the boat)To begin communication with the AIS 600:1. Ensure that the AIS 600 transceiver box is connected to a 12 or 24 Vdc power source using the power/data cable, and that it is connected to the PC using the included mini USB cable.2. Launch the AIS 600 Setup Software. An icon was placed on the desktop when you installed the software.3. Click Connect in the Connection and Status window.To assign an MMSI number to the AIS 600: NOTE: After you save the assigned MMSI number to the AIS 600, the MMSI number cannot be changed.1. On the Static Data tab of the AIS 600 Setup Software, enter a nine-digit MMSI number in the MMSI eld.2. Click Save data to AIS600.To program static vessel data on the AIS 600: NOTE: Vessel static data, unlike an MMSI number, can be reprogrammed if necessary.1. On the Static Data tab of the AIS 600 Setup Software, enter the vessel name, the vessel call sign, the type of vessel, and the location of the GPS antenna on the vessel.2. Click Save data to AIS600.To complete the programming process:1. From the File menu of the AIS 600 Setup Software, select Exit.2. Disconnect the AIS 600 transceiver box from the computer.••••
