If your vessel has a DSC enabled VHF radiotelephone, it is strongly recommended to
programme your vessels MMSI number into your MOB1. This will allow the MOB1 to send
the details of the man over board incident direct to the radio and sound the alarm.

Self Identification
The MOB1 is supplied with the self identification number pre programmed. This number is
specific to each MOB1 and cannot be changed. The MMSI displayed on the DSC receiver
will always start with ‘972’ irrespective of the country it was purchased in.
