In addition to the items provided with your AIS transceiver the fol-
lowing items will be required for installation:
VHF antenna
Connection to a suitable VHF antenna will be required for the AIS
transceiver to operate. A standard marine band VHF antenna such as
that used with VHF voice radios will be sufficient. Please take note of
the warnings in section 1 regarding the use of antennas.
Alternatively, if you wish to use an existing VHF antenna, install a
Navico NSPL-400 VHF Antenna Splitter, which allow the existing an-
tenna to be used with two radio devices, such as a VHF voice radio
and the NAIS-400 transceiver.
Warning: If using a VHF Antenna Splitter, you must use the
NSPL-400 as it is specifically designed to work with the NAIS-400
transceiver. The use of third party antenna splitters may result in
malfunction or permanent damage to the NAIS-400 transceiver.
