The package includes an FA40 receiver, two 5A fuses, a 2m NMEA Cable, and a Power/Data Cable.
Using the Furuno FA40 AIS Receiver is easy. First, connect it to your preferred navigation device using the provided cables. It can work with almost any VHF antenna, so choose one that suits your setup and install it following the normal antenna installation process. Plug in the power cable and make sure it's connected to a 12 - 24 VDC power source. Once powered on, it will start showing vessel information on your connected device. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent water damage. Check the cables regularly for any signs of wear or damage and replace them if needed.
