SCAN Scan (ALL SCAN & 3CH SCAN)
There are two SCAN modes you can use to find the broadcast channel:
• ALLSCANmodescansALLchannelsinsequence,andchecksthepriority
channel every 2 seconds.
• 3CHSCANmodescansthefavoritechannelsandCH16.
When a signal is received, scanning stops at that channel and
BUSY
appears on the
LCD. If the signal ceases for more than 5 seconds, the scan restarts.
Press SCAN or PTT to stop at the current channel.
If you are in NAVIGATION mode and want to scan the DSC channels while staying in
that mode, just hold down SCAN.
Note: SCAN functionality is limited in some European countries and, if ATIS mode is
enabled, the 3CH SCAN mode will be disabled and an error beep will sound.
Note: The weather channel is also scanned if TONE ALERT or SAME is ON (US only).
ALL SCAN mode:
Hold down SCAN for about 3 seconds to start an ALL SCAN. ALL SCAN appears on the
LCD.
Press ENT to temporarily skip over (lock out) an “always busy” channel when in ALL
SCAN mode.
SKIP
is shown on the top line of the LCD to designate a skipped
channel. SKIP will disappear when the radio is powered OFF/ON. With scanning OFF
and the SKIP channel selected, press ENT to cancel the skipped channel.
Note: It is not possible to skip over the priority channel.
Press SCAN to stop at the current channel.
Press EXIT to cancel scan mode and return to normal operation.
3CH SCAN mode
With any of your three favorite channels selected (by pressing the 3CH key) hold down
SCAN to start all 3CH scanning. Press SCAN again to stop at the broadcast channel,
or press EXIT to quit 3CH SCAN and return automatically to the previous broadcast
channel.
AIS / IC AIS (Automatic Identication System)
Quick press to enter the AIS menu.
See section 6 for AIS setup or Section 9 for AIS functionality.
IC (FOG HORN mode)
Hold down for about 1 second to enter HAILER mode. Select FOG HORN. The FOG
HORN will sound certain international standard fog horn tones through the hailer
speaker depending on the mode selected.
See section 10 for HAILER functionality.
IC (PA HAILER mode)
Hold down for about 1 second to enter HAILER mode. Select PA (Public Address). The
PA allows you to make an announcement at high volume to people or vessels using
the RS35 hand mic.
See section 10 for HAILER functionality.
GO / MOB GO (Reset the Cross Track Error)
Note: A valid GPS signal must be received to see this selection.
Press GO if you are navigating to a waypoint and want to reset the cross track error.
This is a very useful single keystroke feature to use if you wander a little off-course but
want to continue to your active waypoint.
The bearing and distance to the waypoint and any cross track error are shown on the
bottom line of the LCD.
MOB (Man Over Board)
Hold down MOB until the radio automatically enters Navigation mode, saves your cur-
rent latitude and longitude as the MOB waypoint and immediately sets this position
as the destination waypoint.
You will see the following sequence of LCDs:
HOLD 3 SEC

The bearing and distance to the Man Overboard position, and any cross track error

To cancel MOB, select another waypoint.
