The AIS category displays basic AIS data such as bearing, range, lost and dangerous targets. The maximum number of targets which may be displayed is 25, in order from closest to farthest from own ship.

Range rings are fixed at 2 NM, 4 NM and 6 NM.

wards.

• [North Up] - Displays the targets and own ship with North oriented upwards.

Note: The AIS category is a simplified AIS, with limited function and capacity. Only Class A and Class B AIS targets are displayed. Do not rely solely on the FI-70 indications for information about nearby targets.

AIS symbols and their meanings

The AIS symbols displayed may change, depending on the target’s conditions, as shown in the table below. The targets are displayed as a triangular symbol, with a line extending from the triangle. The line indicates the estimated COG (Course Over Ground) for the target and changes direction accordingly.

AIS Symbol Meaning

Activated target symbol.

Dangerous target symbol. Any targets entering the danger zone change to dangerous targets. This symbol is displayed as a flashing symbol.

Lost target symbol. Targets whose data has been lost by the AIS are displayed in this manner. This symbol is displayed as a flashing symbol.

Uncertain target symbol. The CPA/TCPA for this target cannot be calculated. CPA is the Closest Point of Approach, TCPA is the Time to Closest Point of Approach.
