The radio cannot be used to transmit in DSC mode until, as a minimum, its MMSI
number has been programmed into it.
Setting the MMSI Number
The MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) number is a 9-digit identifier which
enables a registered vessel to be identified.
MMSI numbers are of three types: individual, group and coast station.
• An Individual Number identifies a single radio installation.
• A Group Number is an assigned number which allows several vessels
to receive a single addressed call (example: a fleet of vessels). Group
Numbers always start ‘0….’
• A Coast Station number identifies a fixed installation
e.g. a Coastguard radio. Such numbers always start ‘00…’
When the radio is purchased, the supplier may configure the radio with the correct
individual MMSI; otherwise, the MMSI number is normally set to 000000000. This
must be changed before the radio can transmit in DSC mode.
1. From the standby screen, press the Menu
key.
2. Scroll through the options to find Profiles.
Press the Select key.
3. Scroll to MMSI number and press Select.
4. The first option displayed in the MMSI
number menu is Ship MMSI number.
Press Select.
5. The MMSI number appears as 000000000;
this must first be cleared.
Press the Clear key repeatedly until the
number is blank. Carefully enter the correct
MMSI number using the numeric keys.
Incorrect entries can be erased using the
Clear key.
6. When the number is correct, check it again. When you are satisfied that no error
has been made, press the Save key. The individual MMSI number is now saved in
the memory of the radio. It cannot be changed by the user.
NOTE: Only one individual MMSI number may be stored in the radio.
If the wrong MMSI number is stored, only a Service Agent can remove it.
2 MMSI entry attempts are allowed within 1 hour. Refer to Installation Manual.
