4.11 AIS Lost Targets
An AIS target is declared a lost target when it fails to produce data
for intervals which are based on the table on page 4-1. When this oc-
curs, the target is marked with the lost target symbol (flashing),
shown in the right figure, the buzzer sounds (for activated targets
only) and the Alert 537 "AIS Lost" appears.
To acknowledge a lost target, push the ALARM ACK key or click the [Alert] box.
Note: The AIS data transmission interval depends on target's speed. For example, the
data is transmitted every 10 seconds on the ship speed of 0 to 14 kn and every two
seconds on the ship speed of more than 23 knots. For details, see the owner's manual
of the AIS transponder.
