Getting Started
•
Refer to the foldout at the front of this manual to identify the
various controls and indicators on your radio. Throughout this
manual you will be instructed to “Press” or to “Press and
Hold” various buttons (except “Push to Talk”) on the radio.
“Press” means a momentary press of approximately one
second. “Press and Hold” means to hold the button down for
approximately three seconds.
Whenever you press any button except the Talk button on
your radio, a brief tone (beep) will sound to confirm the
button press. With all button presses, the appropriate icon
will appear on the LCD and the backlight will turn On. The
backlight will stay On for 10 seconds after the button is
released.
At times, you will hear two other sounds. Two beeps will
sound to confirm your setting changes and three beeps will
sound to notify you of an error.
Common Radio Functions
The following procedures define common operating functions of the radio when in
either Marine Standby or Weather (WX) Standby modes.
Power Button
Power On/Off Button
The On/Off Button control is located at the front left side of
the radio. Pressing and holding the power On/Off button for 3
seconds will turn the radio On or Off.
Power Saver
Your radio has a unique circuit designed to extend battery life.
If there are no transmissions, signals, or button presses for
ten seconds, the radio will automatically switch to Power Save
mode. Signal reception or any button press will take the radio
out of Power Save mode.
Volume Control
Volume is controlled by the Up/Down volume buttons.
n To increase the volume, press the Volume + button.
n To decrease the volume, press the Volume - button.
Radio Speaker and Microphone
The internal Radio Speaker and Microphone are located on the
bottom front face of the radio below the lower control buttons.
An optional Speaker/Microphone jack is located at the top of
the radio. Flip the protective cap open and insert the plug into
the jack.
Talk Button
Press and hold the Talk button to transmit messages.
Release the Talk button to stop transmitting. If the Talk
button is pressed while on a receive only channel, a three
beep error signal will sound.
Squelch Control
This radio is equipped with an automatic squelch control.
Squelch filters weak signals and radio frequency (RF) noise so
you can hear the main signal clearly.
To receive weak signals, the automatic squelch can be turned
Off (opened) by pressing the Squelch Defeat button. You will
likely hear a lot of static and RF noise along with the weak
signal.
Press the Squelch Defeat button for up to five seconds to briefly
open squelch. To hold squelch open for longer periods, press
and hold the Squelch Defeat button for more than five seconds.
Squelch will remain open until you press the Squelch Defeat
button again or you change channels.
