For security reasons the MMSI of the vessel cannot be changed once
programmed. Do not programme the MMSI unless you are certain you
have the correct information. Please check the number entered carefully.
If the MMSI programmed is incorrect the AIS transponder will need to be
returned to the supplier for factory reset.
Should it become necessary to change your MMSI, for example, if you
wish to re-install your NAIS-300 into a new vessel; you will need to con-
tact your local Navico dealer about reprogramming a new number.
If no MMSI is entered the AIS transponder will operate in receive only
mode. The vessels own position will not be transmitted. An MMSI must be
entered to allow the AIS transponder to transmit its own position to other
vessels.

gure your NAIS-300,
please refer to the application user guide on the CD supplied with the unit.
