6.4 MARITIME MOBILE SERVICE IDENTITY (MMSI)

6.4.1 What is an MMSI?

An MMSI is a nine-digit number used on marine transceivers capable of using
Digital Selective Calling (DSC). This number is used like a telephone number
to selectively call other vessels.
THIS NUMBER MUST BE PROGRAMMED INTO THE RADIO TO OPERATE
DSC FUNCTIONS.
How can I obtain an MMSI assignment?
Please contact the Radio Licensing Authority for your country for information
on how to obtain an MMSI number.

6.4.2 Programming the MMSI

The MMSI can be entered only once. Therefore, please be careful
not to input the incorrect MMSI number. If you need to change the
MMSI number after it has been entered, the radio will have to be reset.
Refer to the section 18.3 Reset the USER MMSI and ATIS CODE.
