3.5.30.4.2 MMSI Number Set Up
This operation stores the MMSI number required for DSC communications,
including distress calls. You can request an MMSI number when you
apply for a radio license. If your vessel does not require a license, you may
obtain an MMSI by contacting either BoatUS (www.boatus.com) or
MariTEL (www.maritelusa.com).
Notes:
• This is a one time operation. Once the MMSI number has been
programmed, you will not be able to change it.
• Until the MMSI number is programmed, all DSC functionality is disabled.
Pressing the INDV, ALL SHIP, and DISTRESS buttons will only sound
an error alert.
To register the MMSI Number into memory:
1. Select the MY MMSI function as described above in Section 3.5.30.4
Setting Operation (RAY230).
2. Press the ENT key. MS appears on the 7-segment display and the dot
matrix display scrolls PLEASE PROGRAM MMSI NO.
3. Press ENT. Nine underscore characters appear, which are placeholders
for the 9 digits of the MMSI number. The first character place to be
input is flashing.
To register setup changes, press ENT
when "Y" is displayed. To exit without
saving, press ENT when "N" is displayed.
