West Marine VHF250 Radio Owner’s Manual
Care and Maintenance
Your VHF250 is a precision electronic product and you
should treat it accordingly. Due to the rugged design, very
little maintenance is required. However a few precautions
should be observed:
•
If the antenna has been damaged, do not transmit except
in an emergency situation. Transmitting with a defective
antenna may cause further radio damage.
•
You are responsible for continued FCC technical
compliance of your radio.
Troubleshooting
In the event that the radio fails to perform or clearly needs
servicing, please contact either 1-800 BOATING (1-800 262-

to include your return mailing information and detailed ac-
counting of the problems experienced and/or the service re-
quested. Please use the following shipping address:
