DSC (Digital Selective Calling)
Digital Selective Calling offers significant safety and convenience
advantages over older VHF radios without this functionality.
• A valid USER MMSI must be entered into this radio before DSC
functions can be used.
• Many countries do not have radio repeaters that support DSC
message relaying. However DSC can still be useful for direct ship-to-
ship communication, where the other vessel is also equipped with a
DSC capable radio.
• DSC distress calls generated by this radio are limited to the same
range restrictions that apply to regular VHF transmissions. The
vessel sending a distress can only rely upon DSC if within range of a
GMDSS Coast Radio Station. Typical VHF range may be about 20NM,
though this varies greatly depending upon installation, antenna
type, meteorological conditions, etc.
ATIS (Automatic Transmitter Identication
System)
• ATIS is required for vessels making VHF transmissions whilst on the
inland waterways of the Regional Arrangement Concerning the
Radiotelephone Service on Inland Waterways (RAINWAT) signatory
countries.
• RAINWAT is an agreement to implement common principles and
rules for the safe carriage of people and goods on Inland Waterways.
• The signatory countries are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the
Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Moldova,
Montenegro, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Serbia, the Slovak
Republic and Switzerland.
• Where a VHF is required on the inland waterways of the signatory
countries, this must be capable of ATIS transmissions, and have the
feature activated.
• The use of ATIS is prohibited outside the European inland waterways
covered by the Basel Agreement.

| RS40/RS40-B User Guide
MMSI and ATIS ID
The user MMSI (Marine Mobile Service Identity) is a unique nine
digit number. It is used on marine transceivers that are capable of
using DSC (Digital Selective Calling).
• An MMSI remains with a vessel, even if the vessel is sold on.
• An MMSI has 9 numeric digits (xxxxxxxxx). Your MMSI must not
commence with a ‘0’.
• A Group Call ID begins with ‘0’ followed by 8 numeric digits
(0xxxxxxxx).
• A Coast Station MMSI begins with 00 followed by 7 numeric digits
(00xxxxxxx).
• By law, you are not able to change your MMSI once it is entered into
the radio. This is why there is the confirmation screen when entering
the MMSI. If you need to have the MMSI in the radio changed, the
radio must be taken back to your Simrad dealer.
• An ATIS ID is only required in certain EU countries when navigating
some inland waterways. It is usually a different number to your
MMSI.
AIS CLASS-B Safety Warning (RS40-B only)
Warning: The AIS transceiver in this RS40-B radio is an aid to
navigation and must not be relied upon to provide accurate
navigation information. AIS is not a replacement for vigilant human
lookouts and other navigation aids such as RADAR. Also, take
note that not all vessels will have an AIS transceiver turned on,
or installed. The performance of the transceiver may be seriously
impaired if not installed as instructed in the user manual, or due to
other factors such as weather and or nearby transmitting devices.
Important information for US customers
There are specific laws in the USA regarding the configuration of AIS
class B transceivers. If you are a US resident and intend to use your
AIS class B transceiver in US waters, you should make sure that your
retailer has configured your product prior to supplying it to you. If
your AIS transceiver has not been pre-configured, please contact
your dealer for details of how to have it configured.
