AHS Help

1. How to use this site

  • This site uses a "drop-down menu" for site navigation. This menu is always located on the top of the window. By placing the mouse over each menu item, a drop-down list will appear that contains links to each section within the respective menu item.
  • All areas of our site can be accessed from any page as the AHS navigation bar is located on every page. If you are having trouble finding certain information you can use the Site Map or you can use our search facility to look for specific information.

2. Printing

  • When printing HTML pages from this site, we recommend setting your print margins as wide as possible (eg: left & right set to 1.5mm) to prevent any truncation.
  • When printing PDF documents such as Notices to Mariners, Blocks and Tracings, ensure that your printer settings do not alter the size of the document (eg: do not use 'shrink to paper size' or 'expand to paper size').

3. Recommendations

  • This site will work best if you are using the latest browsers preferably above version 7.0 (Netscape) or IE6 (Microsoft).
  • The recommended screen resolution is 800x600 pixels or higher.
  • The Macromedia Flash 8 plugin is required for the various online product demonstrations.
  • Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 is required to view Notices to Mariners and other PDF documents and publications. This is available as a free download from www.adobe.com.
  • To view the Australian Chart Index (ACI Advanced), you will need to have the SUN Java 5.0 Plugin and JavaScript enabled. Please note that the Microsoft Java VM will NOT work with the ACI 3.1
