4-50 Operation with a Full Function Handset
4.5.4 Setting the MMSI Number
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.
