This operation stores the MMSI number required for DSC
communications, including distress calls. You can request an MMSI
number when you apply for a radio license.

own MMSI number. If this unit was purchased to be used in such a
region, this function will e disabled and the programming must be done
by your Raymarine distributor.
• This is a one time operation. Once the MMSI number has been
