U.S.A./International/Canada Channel Maps
Three (3) sets of VHF Channel Maps have been established for marine use in the
U.S.A., Canada, and the rest of the world (International). Most of the channels
are the same for all three (3) maps, but there are definite differences (see table
on pages 14 through 23). Your radio has all three (3) maps built into it and will
operate correctly in whichever area you choose.
To Set Your Radio For The Area In Which
You Will Be Using It:
1. From Standby mode, press and hold the Weather/UIC
button. The radio will shift one (1) channel map and the
active channel map will show on the top line of the LCD.
2. Repeat step 1 to shift to the next channel map(s)
in the sequence
USA
,
INT
(International),
CAN
(Canada) then back to
USA
.
The radio will return to Standby mode each time the
button is released.

uses your connected GPS to gather time inputs. For time inputs to be converted to
local time, you need to enter the hour offset of your local time zone from Greenwich.

the time as UTC. If you enter the hour offset for your
time zone, the LCD will show the local time. In either
event, DSC messages will always be based on UTC.
