Basic Operation Automatic Transmitter Identification System (ATIS) ATIS is a vessel identification 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 identification number (see below), and then turn on ATIS (see page 14). Contact your Garmin dealer to determine your ATIS identification 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 watch • Channel scanning The 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 Identification Number IMPORTANT: Use caution when entering your ATIS identification number because you can only enter it once. If you need to change your ATIS identification number after entering it, you must take the radio to your Garmin dealer for reprogramming. 1. Press the MENU key. 2. Select ATIS > MY ATIS ID. 3. For each number in the sequence, turn the Channel knob clockwise to increase the number, and counterclockwise to decrease the number. 4. Press the Channel knob to accept the number and move to the next number in the sequence. 5. Select ACCEPT when you have entered your ATIS number. The radio prompts you reenter your number. 6. Enter your ATIS ID number again, and press ACCEPT. If the ATIS ID numbers you entered do not match, the screen displays "ATIS ID NUMBERS DO NOT MATCH". Select RETRY and enter the numbers again.
