unique, 9-digit identifier assigned to your ship.

When being prompted after power up enter the MMSI number as
described below:
1. Enter the 9 digits one by one using the keypad or by turning the
selector knob to the desired digit, press the selector knob to accept
the digit and advance to the next digit.
2. If you need to delete the previous digit press the soft key BACK .
Once programmed, the MMSI number is displayed in the DSC window directly after
start-up. The DSC functionality is operational at any time.
The message NO DSC (NO MMSI) is shown in the DSC window if the MMSI is not
programmed.
3.2.2 Changing the MMSI number
If you need to change the MMSI number of the SAILOR 6222 VHF DSC use the built-in
