USER MMSI

Federal MMSI's are issued by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. Non-Federal MMSI's are issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). You will need to obtain a nine digit MMSI number and program it into the SOLARA DSC. The information obtained from the application is useful to the U.S. Coast Guard to help in search and rescue operations. To obtain an MMSI number, contact your authorized Uniden dealer or visit one of the following websites: http://wireless.fcc.gov/marine/fctsht14.html, www.boatus.com/mmsi/, or www.seatow.com/boatingsafety/mmsiinfo.htm

This portion of the SETUP menu will allow you to program an MMSI, (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) for sending and receiving DSC calls.
