6. Advanced functions
6.1 Scanning all channels
Atlantic XT can automatically search for signals throughout the marine band by scanning, i.e.
selecting the channels in rapid sequence. When a signal is detected, the scanning pauses on that
channel and remains blocked for five seconds before automatically begins scanning again to give
you the chance to find other communication.
Press briefly the button
MON/SCAN
[18] to start scanning:
Press again MON/SCAN [18] to stop scanning. Your transceiver will go back to the channel from
which the scanning originally started.
Once you are tuned in the communication you were looking for, press PTT [11] to talk on the
selected channel. Atlantic XT will however remain in scanning mode (which is indicated by the
flashing of the channel on the display) and it is possible to start scanning again by pressing on
the scroll buttons / [19]. If you press
PTT [11] during scanning you can transmit on the channel
from which the scanning started. The scroll buttons / [19] allow you to change the direction of
scanning (from lower channels to higher ones or vice versa) and therefore to skip communications
which are of no interest.
6.2 VOX Function
Atlantic XT
enables hands free conversations through
VOX
function. The degree of sensitivity
of
VOX
function can be adjusted to three different levels. You can enable
VOX
function with or
without accessories.
1) To activate
VOX function press the MENU [17] button three times and VOX [1] will appear on
the display
2) Use the scroll / [19] buttons to select:
• OFF : Disabled;

3) Press PTT [11] to confirm or wait for 5 seconds
To disable VOX function follow the instructions above and select option oF .
VOX
has a better performance when used in conjunction with the optional accessories which plug
in the appropriate outlet. This will enable you to keep the microphone at constant distance from
your mouth and by holding the transceiver on the belt you can carry on working with your hands
in total freedom.
6.3 Keypad lock
You can lock the keypad of your transceiver and avoid pressing buttons accidentally. All buttons
