Operation Manual S15-N

Your NAVTEX is now ready to use all you need to decide is
the following:
What stations do I wish to receive –
Select by letter on screen (for northern European waters see appendix 2).
What types of message do I wish to receive –
Select by letter on screen (see appendix 3).
It pays to be selective - The more selective you are the less likely you will
be swamped with irrelevant information from stations some distance
away from your vessel.
