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 49.
NOTE
An ATIS number can only be entered one time. To enter a
new ATIS number, please contact Cobra customer service.
To Enter Your ATIS Number:
1.
Enter the
DSC SETUP MENU
menu and scroll to DSC SETUP
with the
Up/Down
soft keys
or the
Up/Down channel buttons
.
2.
Press the
ENTER
soft key and scroll to RADIO ATIS ENTRY
with the
Up/Down
soft keys or the
Channel Up/Down
buttons.
3.
Press the
ENTER
soft key. The blinking cursor will appear at the
second digit under RADIO ATIS ENTRY.
NOTE
All ATIS numbers begin with a “9” digit.
4.
Use the
Up/Down soft keys
or the
channel Up/Down
buttons
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
number are entered.
7.
Check that you have entered the number correctly. The radio will
ask you to re-enter your number to confirm.
NOTE
After the ATIS number has been entered, the RADIO ATIS
ENTRY menu option will move to the bottom of the DSC
SETUP MENU. This is done because the ATIS entry 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 Cobra
®
Electronics
Distrubutor (see customer assistance on page A1 for details) for reset before you can enter a
new ATIS number into the radio.
