General use and navigation
When the MF/HF radio is powered on for the first time, typically during
installation, the vessel’s MMSI number is entered. Hereafter the MMSI
number is briefly displayed after power up. The MMSI is a unique, 9-digit
identifier assigned to your ship.
Caution! Without a programmed MMSI number the
Distress button will not work!
The message NO DSC (NO MMSI) is shown in the DSC
window if the MMSI has not been programmed during
installation.
