VHF 100/200 Series Owner’s Manual 13Basic OperationAutomatic Transmitter Identication System (ATIS)ATIS is a vessel identication system that can be used on certain inland waterways in certain countries throughout Europe. Your Garmin dealer can program your VHF 100i, VHF 200i, or GHS 10i to use ATIS if you plan to use your radio on waterways that are within the bounds of the Regional Arrangement Concerning the Radiotelephone Service on Inland Waterways (the Basel Agreement). The use of ATIS is prohibited outside the European inland waterways covered by the Basel Agreement.When you enable ATIS, a data signal identifying your station is sent at the end of every transmission. Data identifying your position is not sent; however, your position is calculated through the method of triangulation by coastal stations receiving your transmissions.To enable ATIS, enter your ATIS identication number (see below), and then turn on ATIS (see page 14). Contact your Garmin dealer to determine your ATIS identication number and to learn about ATIS requirements for your region.Your radio disables the following functions when you enable ATIS:Digital Selective Calling (DSC)Dual watch and Tri watchChannel scanningThe following International channels are restricted to transmit on low-power (1 watt) when you enable ATIS: 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 71, 72, 74, and 77.Entering Your ATIS Identication Number1.

VHF 100/200 Series Owner’s Manual 15Digital Selective CallingDigital Selective Calling (DSC)DSC is a key component of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). DSC provides VHF radios with the ability to place and receive digital calls directly with other vessels and shore stations, including the USA and Canadian Coast Guards. Your radio includes full Class D DSC capabilities.If you have a GPS device connected to the transceiver, your latitude and longitude and the current time are transmitted when you send a distress call or other type of DSC call. If you have manually entered your position information, your latitude, longitude, and time of entry are transmitted with the call. Having your location automatically transmitted prevents you from needing to identify your location in an emergency situation.Channel 70 is reserved exclusively for DSC calls, and your radio uses a dedicated receiver to maintain a constant watch on Channel 70. You do not need to change the channel to make a DSC call, since your radio automatically changes to Channel 70 to transmit a DSC call. Your radio sends the DSC data over Channel 70 in less than one second, and then tunes to the appropriate channel for voice communications. IMPORTANT: To use the DSC capabilities of your radio, you must rst enter a Mobile Maritime Safety Identity (MMSI) number. An MMSI number identies each DSC radio, like a telephone number.The icon is displayed when you have an incoming or missed DSC call.Entering Your MMSI NumberThe Mobile Maritime Safety Identity (MMSI) number is a nine-digit code that acts as a DSC self-identication number, and is required in order to use the DSC capabilities of your radio. You can obtain an MMSI number from the telecommunications authority or ship registry for your country. In the USA, you can obtain an MMSI number from the following sources:Federal Communications Commission (FCC)—assignments are recognized internationallyBoatU.S., Sea Tow, or United States Power Squadrons®—assignments are for USA waters onlyAfter obtaining your MMSI number, you must program the number into your radio to enable DSC. IMPORTANT: Use caution when entering your MMSI number, because you can only enter it once. If you need to change your MMSI number after entering it, you must take the radio your Garmin dealer for reprogramming.••190-01019-00_0A.indd 15 12/23/2008 4:23:03 PM

Your current GPS position (latitude and longitude) and the current time are included in the transmission if you have a GPS device connected to your transceiver. If you have manually entered your position information with the time, that data is transmitted with the call. For information on manually updating your position information, see page 27. NOTE: Familiarize yourself with the standard distress-call format and protocol to ensure that your calls are clear and effective.Sending an Undesignated Distress CallWhen you send an undesignated distress call, the nature of your emergency is not transmitted to the receiving stations. Sending an undesignated distress call is a shorter and quicker procedure that can save you time during an emergency.1.

This Notice is provided in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. See www.garmin.com/prop65 for more information. CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to your radio, the antenna must be connected to the radio before transmitting. This ensures that the power output to the antenna port dissipates properly when transmitting.Electromagnetic Energy Exposure and Antenna MountingYour VHF radio generates and radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME). Failure to observe these guidelines may expose persons to RF radiation absorption exceeding the maximum permissible exposure (MPE).The antenna should be installed such that a distance of 59 in. (1.5 m) is maintained between the antenna and all persons. WARNING: Radio operators with cardiac pacemakers, life-support machines, or electrical medical equipment should not be exposed to excessive radio-frequency elds. WARNING: Operate the device in accordance with the instructions supplied. WARNING: The device complies with internationally recognized standards covering human exposure to electromagnetic elds from radio devices. WARNING: Do not use an antenna with a gain greater than 0 dB.Safe Compass DistanceEnsure that you install your VHF radio at least 20 in. (500 mm) from any compass. Test your compass to verify that it operates correctly when the radio is operating.Important Product InformationLicensing RequirementsMany countries and administrations require a ships radio license and the user to be in possession of a suitable radio operators license before transmitting equipment can be used for maritime use. Contact your local administration for details.Responsibilities of the UserAll users are responsible for observing the regulations of their government and the regulations of foreign governments. Breaches of such regulations are subject to severe penalties. The transmitting frequencies in your radio are reserved for maritime use; any frequency you use for transmission must be specically included on your ships license.
