The MMSI number can be programmed into this device so that the first alert is sent immediately to the vessel, alerting crew to the Man Overboard situation and also potentially reducing the possibility of false alerts. If the VHF/DSC is not responded to by someone on the vessel within a designated time period, other vessels in the area will be alerted. The inbuilt AIS will enable other vessels in the area equipped with AIS to locate any casualty in the water. A casualty can be located to an accuracy of 100m.
