On-boarding
At this point, the X100 should be installed with the app downloaded and working on your smart device.
Firstly, you will be asked to enter the captains name and pin number. Next, you'll need to enter the static data, which can be done using either your smart device or the X100.
The static data includes:
- Your region - Under this option, you'll find three choices: U.S, Canada and International. Choose the location in which you'll be operating. If you are operating in the U.S., your region is entered automatically.
- MMSI number - If you are in the United States, this will be entered by your dealer or another qualified person. Without this number, features like DSC calling and AIS VHF will not be available.
| WARNING | |
| Take care to program the MMSI correctly. If you need to change the MMSI for any reason, contact your local dealer, and they will arrange to have the MMSI reset. |
If you're unsure where to find the MMSI or if you don't know what it is, check your VHF radio license. It should match the MMSI used for your VHF/DSC radio.
Vessel Details: The vessel details include your ship's name, call sign, and ship type. Additionally, you’ll need to reference the dimensions of the GPS antenna location that connects directly to the X100.
Below is an easy to follow break down showing how to enter the GNSS/GPS antenna location accurately:
- First, measure the distance from your antenna to the bow and enter this value for A.
- Next, measure the distance from your antenna to the port side and enter this value for C.
- Then, subtract A from the total length of your boat and enter this value for B.
- Finally, subtract the C value from the total beam of your vessel and enter this value for D.
| INFORMATION | |
| For simplicity, the app assumes that distances C & D are the same. This can be overridden on the X100. |
| CAUTION | |
| Take your time to enter the vessel’s details accurately. It's important to get this right, as it helps other vessels recognize you easily. |
