Transmit (Tx) Mode
Transmit (Tx) mode gives you the ability to interact with
safety services, other vessels and shore stations. When you
use this capability, be sure to follow the procedures and to
observe the courtesies that govern its use so everyone
benefits. (See pages 20 through 27) to help you select the
proper channels.
To Transmit a Message:
1. Check to see that your radio is set to a proper
channel for the type of message you plan to send.
2. Toggle to the Low Power setting.
3. With the microphone about 2 in. [51 mm] from your
mouth, press and hold the Talk button and speak
into the microphone. The Transmit icon will appear
on the LCD.
4. Release the Talk button when you are finished
speaking. Your radio can only operate in either
Transmit (Tx) or Receive (Rx) mode at any given
time. You will not hear the response to your
message unless the Talk button is released. If the
Battery Power icon begins blinking on the LCD
when the Talk button is pressed, the radio will NOT
transmit.
NOTE
If the Talk button is held down for five (5) minutes,
the radio will automatically sound a series of beeps
and cease transmitting to prevent unwanted signal
generation and battery drain. As soon as the Talk
button is released, it can be pressed again to resume
transmission.

Weather (WX) Standby Mode
To enter the WX Standby mode, press and hold the
WX/H-M-L button. All common operating functions of the
radio will work the same in WX Standby mode as they do in
the normal Marine Standby mode. The radio will be
monitoring for all alerts in the background when in the WX
Standby mode.
WX Alert Standby Mode
NOAA broadcasts weather information as described in the
NOAA weather channels section on page 29 of this manual.
When NOAA broadcasts a weather alert signal and your
radio is in WX Alert Standby mode, the following items will
be displayed on the LCD display:
■ The WX icon (cloud/sun) icon will be displayed.
■ The last used weather channel will be displayed.
■ The bar graph will display received signal strength
level.
■ The WX Alert icon (safety triangle) will be displayed.
NOTE
Only one (1) or two (2) of the weather channels will
be operating in any given location (only in Receive
(Rx) mode). You will need to select the channel with
the strongest signal in your location.
NOTE
When in the WX Alert mode, and NOAA sends the
1050Hz alert tone, the radio will sound a series of
loud beeps regardless of the volume control setting.
