Adjusting the Volume
The Volume key may be adjusted using the
+/- keys. The volume level is indicated by the
band of gradually rising bars on the LCD
display.
To adjust the volume:
1. Press the

Scanning Channels
You may want to keep in contact with
several vessels in your immediate area at the
same time. For this purpose, the scan feature is
available. You can program up to ten channels
from any combination of USA, International, or
Canadian bands into memory. Whenever a
transmission is received, the scan will stop at
that channel until the transmission ends and
then move on until it recognizes another
transmission. You cannot scan weather
channels since they broadcast continually and
do not allow a break in transmission for the
scan to move to the next channel. You can
utilize the WX Alert feature to monitor for
severe weather conditions.
To scan channels:
1. Before activating the scan feature you must
program at least two channels into memory. You
can do this by pressing the U/I/C key to select the
desired channel band and then use the
UP/DOWN arrow keys to select channels in that
band. Press the MEM key to place the displayed
channel in the scan memory. (Figure 7)
2. Repeat this process for the desired channels.
3. Press the SCAN key to begin the scanning
process. Pressing the SCAN key again will stop
the scanning process.
