    Software Update Information and Instructions for AIS650

    There are 2 methods of updating the software on your AIS650:

    • Using an SD card inserted into the front of the AIS unit
    • By connection to a Windows PC with a USB cable

    Below you will find instructions for both methods. None of the methods will delete any data or settings in your AIS unit. You can change some settings using the ProAIS2 software available to download from the main AIS650 software page. If you require your MMSI to be changed/reset, then you must contact your local Raymarine agent, who can arrange this for you.

    • Make sure the AIS650 is switched off.
    • Insert the SD card with both files present into the units SD Card Slot.
    • Apply power to the AIS650.
