recess. Then realign the antenna tip with the manual activation/ deactivation recess once 
again for approximately 3 seconds.

DSC Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) Registration 

Each DSC transmitter should be programmed to operate with the owner’s registered DSC capable 
VHF marine radio.  The registration number, known as the VHF marine radio’s MMSI number, is 
a unique 9-digit identification number that can only be supplied by the United States Coast Guard 
and its affiliated MMSI registration partners.  More information regarding MMSI registration for 
VHF marine radios may be found at the following Internet address: 

http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/marcomms/gmdss/mmsi.htm

  

 
The digital selective calling feature of an ORCA® DSC beacon, by default, will transmit a generic 
MMSI number that is not registered to any VHF marine radio.  The owner’s registered MMSI 
number can be programmed at the factory or at an approved reseller’s facility.
