WatchMate App Configure and Monitor your XB-8000 smartAIS anywhere on board with the FREE WatchMate App. WatchMate is available for your smartphone and tablet and works with your XB‑8000 smartAIS transponder. WatchMate is available for Android and Apple iOS. Connect up to 5 devices to your XB-8000 via the on board Wifi connection. WatchMate turns your mobile devices into a convenient and powerful interface to configure and manage your smartAIS transponder. See nearby AIS targets. Be alerted to potential collisions or Man Overboard emergencies. Manage alarms and alarm profiles. Update your transponders firmware with the latest improvements and updates. PLOTTER VIEW MOB ACTIVATION AIS DATA FOR NAVIGATION SOFTWARE Third party apps and software (examples include Navionics, TZ iBoat, Aquamaps, iNavX, iSailor and others) also display AIS data. Many come with pre-configured set-up for Vesper Marine smartAIS transponders. If not, simply enter the smartAIS transponder IP address and Port number to begin receiving data from a Vesper Marine transponder equipped with WiFi. For more information visit support.vespermarine.com COMPLETE MONITORING AND CONTROL View and update vessel information, monitor transponder and GPS status, display all AISequipped vessels within range on the easy to view 'radar' plotting screen. MANAGE ALARM SETTINGS Set collision avoidance alarms such as Closest Point of Approach (CPA)vv and Guard Alarm individually or together. The CPA Alarm sounds if a vessel will get too close in the future if you both continue as you are while the Guard Alarm alerts you if a vessel comes within a specified distance of your boat. ANCHOR WATCH Activate the Anchor Watch on your WatchMate XB-8000 from anywhere on your boat. Monitor your position relative to the anchor location on your Apple or Android phone or tablet and receive alarms wherever you are on board. TRANSPONDER FIRMWARE UPGRADE Download updates for your XB8000 smartAIS to your smart device using the WatchMate App. You can then update your transponder from your smart device when on board the boat. Updates to firmware ensure performance and offer new features as they are released. INSTANT TARGET ACQUISITION The WatchMate App is the only mobile app with instant identification of other vessels. All other apps and MFDs take time for AIS targets to appear, but the WatchMate app takes advantage of unique NMEA gateway capabilities of your WatchMate XB-8000, so it displays all received vessel information the instant you start the app. 47
