2.3 Login and Logout
Each time the terminal unit is turned on, register your vessel with the Inmarsat C
system to enable communications between your vessel and an LES. This is
called login. The first time you login you must do it manually; thereafter is it done
automatically, even when you move to another ocean region.
Note that you cannot transmit the distress alert or receive EGC messages
unless you are logged in.
If you will not be using the FELCOM 15 for a prolonged period, you should
logout 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.
