Once connected, you can start using its features like multiple NMEA outputs and USB connectivity for your PC or MAC. When in busy traffic areas, it'll automatically use its guaranteed transmission time - slot. As for personal AIS MOB devices, you can activate the optional AIS SART alarm. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures. Regularly check the connections to make sure they're secure. If you're using it on a boat, make sure the power supply is stable and follow all relevant maritime safety regulations.
