How do i change my MMSI number?
International regulations state that only the radio manufacturer may change an MMSI number. The Lifeline is the only marine radio that allows this change WITHOUT sending it back to the factory. Email your name, unit serial number and place of purchase to info@nautiluslifeline.com and we will reset your MMSI. All you have to do after that is go online and select “update firmware”. Please allow 2 business days.
