The NAUTICAST automatically calculates A+ B and C + D and shows length and beam of the 
vessel. 
 
Note: When receiving position data from large vessels, it should be considered that the 
position refers to the antenna mounting point upon the vessel. To ensure accurate navigation, 
the antenna reference points (see Other Vessels Details) should be taken into consideration 
when determining the vessels position. 
 
Also, the electronic chart display in use should be programmed to consider the antenna 
reference points. Traffic images are represented in true distances only when all displayed 
targets, including own vessel, are working with AIS position information, which considers 
Antenna reference points. 
 
Enter Ref.Point int (location of the internal GPS antenna) in the same way. 
Input: 
A: 220 - then press Enter
B: 0 - then press Enter 
C: 10 
– then press Enter
D: 33
– then press Enter
 
Your external and internal reference points must match the entered ship dimensions. For 
incorrect dimension it reports: 
>>> ext/int ship len/beam don't match
 
After correct settings of the reference points and dimensions like length and beam you can 
press M5 - [Save].  to save your settings: 
>>> DATA OK. PRESS M5 TO SAVE DATA <<<
4.4 Service and User Passwords:
 
The Transponder system is equipped with two levels of Password Protection, User and 
Service Password. 
 
1) The User Password, which is the lower security level, allows access to all menus except 
Menu 6: Service Configuration which is protected by the Service Password. 
 
2) The Service Password is required in order to enter the Service Configuration Menu. This is 
a higher security level than can not be accessed with the User Password and therefore 
ensures that the Service Configuration is protected, and limited to authorized service 
personnel. 
The master of the vessel has to ensure that only authorized persons are allowed to make 
changes to the Service Configuration and ensures that the newly reset password is stored 
very carefully, as it can not be reset from the factory default a second time. 
 
WARNING: It is very important that the Service password not be lost. Keeping the 
password in a second location may be wise. Record your custom service and user 
passwords in the table provided in the appendix of your User Manual. Memorizing the 
password is best. If you lose this password, you cannot make any further 
configuration changes: Access to the AIS is blocked. Another master key is not 
available and the unit would have to be returned to the ACR Service cent. This service 
is not free of charge. 
 
Once you have entered the system, please change the default password to your own 
passwords, for both levels of access. Use different passwords for the different security 
levels.
