Login and Logout

Each time the terminal unit is turned on, register your vessel with the Inmarsat C
system to enable communications between your vessel and an LES. This is
called login. The first time you login you must do it manually; thereafter the NCS
does it for you automatically, even when you move to another ocean region.
Note that you can transmit the distress alert and receive EGC messages unless
you are logged in.
If you will not be using the FELCOM for a prolonged period, you should logout
from the Inmarsat C system, before turning off the terminal unit. The Inmarsat C
system will then register you as inactive, notifying anyone trying to call you that
you are currently unavailable. If you do not log out before turning off the power,
the LES may attempt to send a message to you. It may charge your
correspondent, even if you don't receive the message.
