User ATIS Number
ATIS is required in some countries when navigating inland water ways. The nine (9) digit ATIS
number, similar to a telephone number, is a unique identifier for a vessel. DSC incorporates this
number into every message that is Sent (Tx) or Received (Rx). Enter the ATIS number as soon as
you receive your MMSI number from the issuing agency listed on page
9
.
NOTE
An ATIS number can only be entered one time. To enter
a new ATIS number, please contact a Cobra Electronics
distributor.
To Enter Your ATIS Number:
1.
Enter the
DSC SETUP MENU
menu and scroll to
DSC SETUP
.
2.
Press the
ENTER
soft key and scroll to
RADIO ATIS ENTERY
.
3.
Press the
ENTER
soft key. The blinking cursor will appear at the
second digit under
RADIO ATIS ENTERY
.
NOTE
All ATIS numbers begin with a “9” digit.
4.
Scroll to scroll through the number list to the second digit of your
number.
5.
Press the
ENTER
soft key to select the digit and the blinking
cursor will move to the next digit of the number.
6.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all nine (9) digits of your ATIS

ask you to re-enter your number to confirm.

After the ATIS number has been entered, the RADIO ATIS
ENTERY menu option will move to the bottom of the DSC
SETUP MENU. This is done because the ATIS ENTERy is
entered only once.

If You Incorrectly Enter Your ATIS Number
YOU CAN DO THIS ONLY ONCE!
There is no option to enter the ATIS number again after a
number has been entered. You can view the entered number, but cannot change the number.
Because the ATIS number is so important to inland water way operations, this limitation is
imposed on all DSC capable radios to prevent constant changes and the potential introduction of
errors in the process.
To clear the currently entered ATIS number, you will have to contact a Cobra
®
Electronics
Distrubutor for reset before you can enter a new ATIS number into the radio.
If You Transfer Your Radio To A Different Vessel
Contact the ATIS issuing agency from which you obtained your number and change the
information associated with your number to correspond to vessel in which it will be mounted.
