Initial Settings; How To Register The Mmsi And Atis Id - Furuno FM-8900S Installation Manual

INITIAL SETTINGS

This chapter shows you how to enter the initial settings, which requires a password.
Refer to FURUNO Information for the password. Entry of the MMSI and ATIS ID* num-
bers also requires a short inside the junction box or at the rear panel of the transceiver
unit. Under no condition can the password or the location of the shorting points be re-
leased to the operator.
* ATIS is the acronym meaning Automatic Transmitter Identification System. ATIS is
used on inland waterways in various countries in mainland Europe to identify ships. At
the end of every transmission the radio sends a unique FFSK data signal that contains
the user or ship's unique ATIS call sign. The FFSK signal identifies you to marine
coast stations and inland stations.
