Standby and Receive

Standby is the usual mode for the radio whenever it is turned On. From this 
mode, you can change your settings using the buttons on the front of the radio 
and switch to Transmit mode using the Talk button. Signals will be received 
on the selected channel(s) and alerts broadcast by the Coast Guard and NOAA 
will activate the corresponding routines in your radio.

NOTE
Coast Guard alerts are broadcast on Channel 16 and you 
need to have Weather Alert turned On to receive NOAA alerts.

While in Standby mode, you will receive any messages sent on the 
channel to which you are tuned.

Transmit

Transmit mode gives you the ability to interact with safety
services, other vessels, and shore stations. When you use
this capability, be sure to follow the procedures and to
observe the courtesies that govern its use so everyone
benefits. (The tables on pages 12 through 21 will help 
you select the proper channels.)

To Transmit a Message:

1. Check to see that your radio is set to a proper 

channel for the type of message you plan to send.

2. Toggle to the Low Power setting.

3. With the microphone about two (2) inches (5 cm) 

from your mouth, press and hold the Talk button 
and speak into the microphone. The Transmit icon 
will appear on the LCD.

4. Release the Talk button when you are finished 

speaking. Your radio can only operate in either the
Transmit or the Receive mode at any given time. 
You will not hear the response to your message 
unless the Talk button is released.

When the last segment disappears from the 
Battery Power icon, the battery outline of the icon 
will start to blink to indicate very little power is left. 
The radio will still transmit until the battery voltage 
drops below the minimum required to operate 
the radio.
