Initial Setup
You can set up the TX/RX mode, own ship's static information (MMSI, ship's name,
call sign, antenna position and type of ship), and silent mode from the [Initial Setup]
menu. You must set the ship static information.
In the United States of America, it is a violation of the rules of the Federal Communi-
cations Commission to input an MMSI that has not been properly assigned to the end
user or to otherwise input any inaccurate data in this device. The MMSI and Static
Data must be entered only by a FURUNO dealer or other appropriately qualified in-
staller of marine communications equipment on board vessels.
For other locations, check your local regulations for details regarding MMSI and static
data input.
Most of the menu items are the same between the PC and external display. For de-
