Login and Logout

Each time the terminal unit is turned on, login your vessel with the Inmarsat C system
to enable communications between your vessel and an LES. This is called login. Note
that you can transmit the distress alert or receive EGC messages even if you are not
logged in.If you will not be using the FELCOM for a prolonged period, you should lo-
gout 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, some LESs
may attempt to send a message to you. They may charge your correspondent, even
if you don't receive the message.
