ATIS
ATIS is specifically designed for use in the inland waterways of RAINWAT (Regional Arrangement Concerning the Radiotelephone Service on Inland Waterways) countries. When ATIS is enabled, the DSC functions on the device do not operate. It's important to remember not to enable ATIS when you're in open water, as it could hinder your ability to use essential communication features. This ensures that you maintain effective communication and navigation capabilities in various environments.
Under ATIS, you can turn ATIS MODEON or OFF and set your unique ATIS ID.
You must enter your ATIS ID first in order to enable ATIS MODE.
Setting your ATIS ID
You can obtain your ATIS ID from the same agency that issues radio operator licenses in your area. This helps to facilitate effective communication and navigation on inland waterways.
An ID typically starts with a 9, consists of 10 digits, and is entered only once. If you ever need to change your ATIS ID, contact your local dealer for assistance. This ensures proper identification and compliance with regulations in inland waterways.

Once entered, the ATIS ID cannot be deleted or changed by you, so make sure it is entered correctly. If you need help contact support@em-trak.com.
Enabling and disabling ATIS mode
ATIS mode should only be used when navigating the inland waterways in RAINWAT countries. When ATIS is enabled, the DSC function on the X100 will not work. For this reason, it’s best not to enable ATIS while you're in open water to maintain full communication functionality. This ensures you can use DSC for emergency and routine calls when needed.
To enable the ATIS mode, you first must enter your ATIS ID, then go to SETTINGS, select ATIS and then MODE. You can use the arrow keys to toggle ATIS mode ON/OFF.
