INITIAL SETTINGS

This chapter shows you how to enter the initial settings, which requires a password. Refer to FU-
RUNO Information for the password. Entry of the MMSI and ATIS ID* numbers 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 released to the operator.
* ATIS is the acronym meaning Automatic Transmitter Identification System. ATIS is used on in-
land waterways in various countries in mainland Europe to identify ships. At the end of every trans-
mission 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.
