Entering Your MMSI Number

You can enter your MMSI number only once. If you must change
your MMSI number after entering it, you must take your radio to
your Garmin
®
dealer for reprogramming.
The Mobile Marine Safety Identity (MMSI) number is a nine-digit
code that acts as a DSC self-identification number, and it is
required to use the DSC capabilities of your radio. You can
obtain an MMSI number from the telecommunications authority
or ship registry for your country. In the USA, you can obtain an
MMSI number from these sources:
• Federal Communications Commission (FCC): assignments
are recognized internationally
• BoatU.S.
, Sea Tow
, or United States Power Squadrons
®
®
assignments are for USA waters only.

Distress Calls

When you make a distress call, your call is transmitted to all
DSC-capable radios within receiving range. Your current GPS
position (latitude and longitude) and the current time are
included in the transmission if you have a GPS device
connected to your transceiver. If you manually entered your
position information with the time, that data is transmitted with
the call.
NOTE: You should familiarize yourself with the standard
distress-call format and protocol to ensure your calls are clear
and effective.

emergency is not transmitted to the receiving stations. Sending
