Entering or viewing your individual MMSI
The user MMSI (Marine Mobile Service Identity) is a unique 9 digit
number, similar to a personal telephone number. It is used on
marine transceivers that are capable of using the DSC system.
Contact the appropriate authorities in your country to obtain your
user MMSI.
¼ Notes:
•
Entering the MMSI is a once-only operation. You can display and
read your user MMSI at any time, but you can only enter it once.
• Enter the number carefully before pressing [OK] the second time.
If you make a mistake, the radio will have to be sent back to the
dealer to be reset.
• Your MMSI is also shown on the startup screen when you power
on the transceiver.
1. Select MENU → DSC SETUP → USER MMSI.
If you have already entered your MMSI, it will be shown on screen.
If you are entering your MMSI, a dashed line appears.
2. Enter your MMSI along the dashed line, one number at a time.
3. Press [OK] to store your user MMSI.
4. Enter your user MMSI again as a password check, then press [OK] to
permanently store the user MMSI.
Introduction to group MMSI
A group MMSI is a shared MMSI. When a DSC call is transmitted by
one of the vessels in the group, all the radios that have the same
MMSI entered will receive the message.
The V90 radio can store up to 20 group MMSIs. In other words, you
can be in 20 different groups.
A group MMSI always starts with 0.
For information on sending a DSC group call, see “Sending a group
call” on page 54.
