b) Using the GlobalWatch
After selecting a vessel, the Message Editor is automatically displayed. Messages containing a maximum of 156 characters are allowed. Longer texts require a second message. After text input completion, transmission to the selected addressee is facilitated by pressing the [Send] button. The [<Back] button leads to the Message Editor for writing a second message to the same addressee. A second activation of the [<Back] button leads to the Vessel Listing and allows selection of another addressee.
It is possible to select the desired channel by pressing the [<Channel>] buttons. The default setting for Addressed Messages is (auto) in contrast to Broadcasted Messages, where the default setting is set at Channels A+B (AIS1 + AIS2).
