User Mmsi - Uniden DSC BK Owner's Manual

USER MMSI

Federal MMSI's are issued by the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration. Non-Federal MMSI's are issued by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). You will need to obtain a
nine digit MMSI number and program it into the SOLARA DSC. The
information obtained from the application is useful to the U.S. Coast
Guard to help in search and rescue operations. To obtain an MMSI
number, contact your authorized Uniden dealer or visit one of the
following websites: http://wireless.fcc.gov/marine/fctsht14.html,
www.boatus.com/mmsi/, or www.seatow.com/boatingsafety/mmsiinfo.htm
This portion of the SETUP menu will allow you to program an MMSI,
(Maritime Mobile Service Identity) for sending and receiving DSC calls.
To set USER MMSI code
1. Press and hold DSC when you turn the
radio ON.
Note: MMSI can be checked when 16/9 is
pressed.
2. Press DSC to enter the registration
mode. Press L or M button to select
number from 0 to 9. The number will be
entered when SELECT is pressed, and

confirmation screen appears.
4. Press SELECT and turn the radio off to
set the user MMSI code.
