Getting Started
2. Turn the Squelch knob clockwise until the hissing
sound stops.
Turning the Squelch knob further clockwise (higher bearier) will
filter weak and medium strength signals until only the strongest
signal can get through at the highest squelch setting.
To receive weaker signals:
1. Turn the Squelch knob anticlockwise (lower bearier.)
If the squelch is set so that you can hear a continuous hissing
sound, the memory scan and tri-watch functions will be blocked.
Standby and Receive
Standby mode is the usual mode for the radio whenever it is turned on.
From Standby mode, you can:
■
Change your radio’s settings using set-up routines.
■
Receive messages on the current channel as well
as DSC messages.
■
Switch to Transmit mode using the Talk button.
While the radio is in Standby mode, the Receive mode is
entered whenever a strong enough signal to break squelch is
sent to the radio. You will hear the message through whichever
speakers are connected to the radio.
To change the channel you are listening to,
you can choose one of the following:
a. Press the Up/Down buttons. This will take you to
the next higher or lower VHF channel. For rapid
advance, press and hold the Up or Down button.
b. Press the Channel 16 button. This will take
you directly to Channel 16.
Position Information:
If a GPS is connected, its position data will be displayed at
the position coordinates portion of the LCD. If a GPS is not
connected, either the last available input or zeros will be
displayed as the position coordinates.
After 4 hours of operation with no position input, the
position entry screen will request a manual position entry.
Use the Up/Down and Call/Set buttons to enter the position
of your vessel. If no entry is made within 19
1
⁄

hours after
the position entry screen appears, nines will be displayed
as the default position coordinates.
