Turning Off AIS Broadcast Safety Messages

The reception of AIS Broadcast Safety Messages is turned on by default. This includes messages intended for the protection of marine mammals.

CAUTION

AIS broadcast messages must be turned on for you to receive them. If this feature is turned off, you will not receive these messages, including those intended for the protection of marine mammals. Failure to have these messages on could lead to injury or property damage.

Select Settings menu > Other Vessels > AIS Broadcast Safety Messages.

You will no longer receive AIS broadcast messages. You will continue to receive AIS addressed messages, because those message designations cannot be disabled.
