Login and Logout

Each time the DTE and communication unit are turned on register your vessel with the Inmarsat C system, to enable communications between your vessel and LES. This is called login. The first time you login you must do it manually; thereafter the NCS does it for you automatically, even when you move to another ocean region.

Note that the distress alert can be transmitted and EGC messages received regardless of whether you are logged in or not.

If you will not be using the FELCOM 12 for a prolonged period you should logout from the Inmarsat C system, before turning off the power to the communication unit. The Inmarsat C system will then register you as inactive, notifying anyone trying to call you that you are currently unavailable. If you do not log out before turn- ing off the power, the LES may attempt to send a message to you. It may charge your correspondent, even if you never receive the message.

Note: The communication unit should be idle (“Current State: IDLE” appears at the bottom of the screen) to login and logout.

Note: When the FFA version is active, vessel is automatically logged in when the power is turned on.
