[h=1]OBTAIN MMSI NUMBER (MOBILE MARITIME SERVICE IDENTITY)[/h] A Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) is a series of nine digits that uniquely identifies marine vhf radios and coast guard stations.
Nautilus Lifeline LLC CANNOT provide you with an MMSI number. This is provided by local government. A 9 digit number must be entered into your unit to activate the red button. Note that different countries have different regulations for issuing MMSI numbers.
[h=2]ENTER MMSI NUMBER[/h] Enter your MMSI number using the Nautilus LifeLine Setup Utility software on your computer. With your LifeLine connected, go to the Apps tab, and click the Customize Settings button. Enter your MMSI number in the box provided, then click "Apply MMSI Number to LifeLine".
Once the red button is activated you can send out an alert message and gps position to every modern radio within range. If your number is not identifiable, the response time of local authorities or other vessels within the range of the radio should not be hindered.
