Speaker devices

button.
• SAILOR 6202 Hand Microphone with PTT button.

DSC and MMSI number
The MMSI is a unique, 9-digit identifier assigned to your ship. When the VHF
radio is powered on for the first time, the vessel’s MMSI number is
programmed in the radio. This is typically done during installation of the radio
and described in the installation manual.
Important
The MMSI number must be programmed into the VHF radio to
use any DSC functionality. The radio will prompt for the MMSI
number at each power-up until the MMSI has been entered.
You can use the radio in normal VHF mode.
Caution! Without a programmed MMSI number the
Distress button will not work!
