INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Information
WARNING
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important
information.
CAUTION
Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask
when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface.
FCC Compliance
NOTICE
In the USA, it is prohibited under FCC regulations to enter
incorrect or improper data, and it is prohibited for any person
other than the manufacturer or the installing dealer to input
MMSI number.
It is a violation of the rules of the FCC to input an MMSI number
that has not been properly assigned to the user, or to otherwise
input any inaccurate data in this device.
Assigning Data to the Device
You must program the AIS 800 device with a valid vessel MMSI
number before installing the device on your boat. The device
operates in silent mode without a valid MMSI number. In silent
mode, the device receives AIS signals, but does not transmit
position data. You can program the device to transmit static
vessel data including the vessel name, call sign, type, and
dimensions, which can include the location of your boat's GPS
antenna.
Installing the AIS 800 Software on Your Computer
1
Go to www.garmin.com/AIS800, select Software, and
download the .zip file to your computer.
2
Connect the included USB cable to your computer and the
USB port on the AIS 800 device.
NOTE: While you program with the USB cable, you may
need to disconnect all other cables from the AIS 800 device
to prevent a ground loop between the computer and your
vessel power.
3
Double-click the .exe file, and follow the on-screen
instructions.
Programming the AIS 800
Before the device can be used on a boat, it must be
programmed with a unique MMSI number and with additional
vessel-specific static data. The MMSI number must be
programmed by an authorized marine electronics dealer or
installer.
Before you can program the device, you must install the AIS 800
software on your computer (Installing the AIS 800 Software on
Your Computer, page 1).
1
In the program, select the Static data tab.
2
In the Connection and Status window, select a COM port
from the drop-down list.
3
Select Connect.
4
Enter your ship name, call sign, dimensions, vessel type, and
MMSI number (Assigning an MMSI Number to the AIS 800,
page 1).
5
Select Save data to AIS 800.
NOTE: The data is lost if the AIS 800 device is turned off.
You must select Save data to AIS 800 to permanently save
your data.
6
Select File > Exit.
Assigning an MMSI Number to the AIS 800

from the drop-down list.
3
Select Connect.
4
In the Static Data window, enter your nine-digit MMSI
number in the MMSI Number field.
NOTICE
You cannot change the MMSI number after you assign the
MMSI number to your boat. If you assign an incorrect MMSI
number, you must return the device to the manufacturer for a
factory reset.
5
Select Save data to AIS 800.

Mounting Considerations
NOTICE
This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed
to extreme temperatures or conditions. The temperature range
for this device is listed in the product specifications. Extended
exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature
range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device
failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related
consequences are not covered by the warranty.
You must mount the device in a location where it will not be
submerged.
You must mount the device in a location with adequate
ventilation where it will not be exposed to extreme
temperatures.
For optimal internal GPS reception:
You should mount the device in a location where it is above
the water line when the ship is in the water.
You should mount the device as far as possible, at least
20 cm (7.9 in.), from cables, electronics, metal objects, and
other potential sources of GPS interference.
If you mount the device in a boat with a metal hull, you must
connect the device to an external GPS antenna (sold
separately).
If possible, you should mount the device horizontally, with the
face of the device pointing upward or vertically with the LEDs
facing upward. The GPS is most sensitive in these positions.
VHF Antenna Mounting and EME Exposure
WARNING
Radio operators with cardiac pacemakers, life-support
machines, or electrical medical equipment should not be
exposed to excessive radio-frequency (RF) fields, because the
RF field may interfere with the function of their medical
equipment.
