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.
 Caution
Wear safety goggles and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
Notice
To 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 Mounting
The 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 specific
to the installed VHF radio.
 WARNING:
Radio operators with cardiac pacemakers, life-support machines, or electrical medical equipment should not be exposed to excessive radiofrequency fields.
Operate the device in accordance with the instructions supplied.
notice
The device complies with internationally recognized standards covering human exposure to electromagnetic fields from radio devices.
Check with the local authorities for any antenna or operational restrictions that may apply.
Safe Compass Distance
Ensure 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 Requirements
In 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.

Notes:
• Consult the installation instructions for your NMEA 0183-compliant device to identify the receiving (RX) A(+) and B(-) wires.
• If your NMEA 0183-compliant device has only one receiving wire (Rx), connect it to the gray wire [Tx A (+)] from the AIS 600, and leave
the pink wire [Tx B (-)] wire unconnected.
• The AIS 600 can transmit NMEA 0183 data using either 38400 baud (default) or 4800 baud. Connect the green wire from the AIS 600
power/data cable to the negative (-) battery terminal if you would like to limit the output speed to 4800 baud. You can install a switch
between the green wire and the negative (-) battery terminal in order to toggle the output speed manually.
Wiring the AIS 600 to a Physical Switch to Send a Safety-Related Message (SRM) or Enter
Silent Mode (Optional)
If you connected the AIS 600 to a Garmin chartplotter using NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183, you can enter silent mode (receive only) or send an
SRM from the chartplotter software. See the owner’s manual provided with your chartplotter for more information. In addition, you can also
enter silent mode or send an SRM by installing a physical switch.
Note: If you connected the AIS 600 to a non-Garmin chartplotter or did not connect it to a chartplotter, you must install a physical switch to
activate silent mode, send the SRM, or both. There is no guarantee that a non-Garmin chartplotter can toggle the AIS 600 silent mode or send an
SRM using software.
Wiring the AIS 600 to a Silent-Mode Switch
When in silent mode, you will only receive AIS signals; your position will not be transmitted.
Use the bare wires from the included SRM cable to install a silent-mode switch. Connect the yellow wire from the SRM cable to one terminal
of a single-pole, single-throw switch (not included), and connect the green wire from the SRM cable to the other terminal. After the switch is
installed, when you close the switch, the AIS 600 enters silent mode.
Wiring the AIS 600 to an SRM Switch
Use the bare wires from the included SRM cable to install an SRM switch. Connect the white wire from the SRM cable to one terminal of
a single-pole, single-throw switch (not included), and connect the black wire from the SRM cable to the other terminal. After the switch is
installed, closing the switch broadcasts a pan-pan urgency SRM. While the switch is closed, the AIS 600 will send the urgency message at a rate
of one message per minute.
AIS 600 Instructions
Using the AIS 600
If you connected the AIS 600 device to a chartplotter using either NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183, refer to the Owner’s Manual provided with your
chartplotter for information on using the AIS-specific features of the chartplotter.
If you did not connect the AIS 600 device to a chartplotter (to only broadcast position information), ensure that you wired a power toggle
switch using the yellow wire on the AIS 600 power/data cable (see page 5). When you want to turn on the AIS 600 and broadcast your position
information, close the switch. When you want to turn off the AIS 600, open the switch.
