Setting up and connecting to the office

The first time you open the app, you set it up once. It takes two steps: the license number, then the pairing with the office.

Type the license number you got from your office and click Continue. Capital letters and dashes are added for you.

Entering the license number

If the number is not accepted, the app tells you why, for example “This license number is not known”. Check the number, or ask your office.

The app now shows Connect this PC to the office.

  1. Name of this PC – a name the office will recognise, e.g. Bridge PC or Engine control room.
  2. Vessel – the name of your ship.
  3. Click Send pairing request.

Pairing request

The app shows a code and waits for the office.

Waiting for the office

Call or e-mail the office and tell them this code. The office checks that it matches the code they see, and approves the PC. You don’t need to do anything else: the app notices the approval by itself, downloads the documents and opens them.

As long as the pairing request has not been sent, click Change next to the company name and enter another license number.
