Each LifeLine GPS comes pre-programmed with an MID number. This number
serves as your identification and will be transmitted along with your distress call.
The number can be found on the back label of your LifeLine GPS.
If your vessel (or the vessel you are traveling with) has a DSC enabled VHF radio, it
is recommended to program the vessel MMSI number into your LifeLine GPS. This
allows your LifeLine GPS to send a DSC position report directly to the vessel VHF
radio by holding down the yellow button for 5 seconds.
Note: Not required for use of the red Help button
