entered (“CONFIRM”). If the two numbers do not match, the
procedure must be repeated.

ALL and MSG keys to move the cursor to correct
any errors. The cursor position is indicated by the flashing
number. Enter a new number to overwrite an incorrect number.

N/C to return to the main menu.
8.2.2 Group MMSI
For boats that are part of a flotilla, racing/fishing fleet or other
group, a Group ID MMSI (Maritime Mobile Services Identity)
number can also be entered and used to contact other boats in
the same fleet (see also section 1.4).
8.2.1 Ship’s MMSI
This function will display the boat’s MMSI (Maritime Mobile
Service Identity) number, provided it has already been entered,
or allow the MMSI to be entered if the radio is being used for
the first time (cf. section 1.3).
CAUTION The MMSI number can only be entered once and cannot be
edited by the user. Should it become necessary to change the
MMSI number (for example, if the radio is being moved to
another boat), the radio must be sent to an authorised Simrad
service agent for reprogramming.
From the Numbers menu (section 8.2) select “SHIPS MMSI” and
press O
K – the display will show the MMSI number, unless the
number has not been entered yet, in which case it will show
dashes only (Fig 8.6). To enter the MMSI number, press O
K
again. The display will show “ENTER MMSI” and the first
dash will start flashing to indicate that entry can begin.
