Setting the UIC Channel Mode

The radio comes preset to use the channels assigned for the US. If your current area uses Canadian or international channel assignments, press the UIC-Lockkey to rotate through the US, Canadian, and international channels.

Using the Strobe SOS Light

You can use this radio in an emergency. If you turn on the strobe SOS high-intensity LED light on your radio, your radio will blink “S O S” in international Morse Code. This will make it easier for rescuers to find you faster.

Your radio operates normally when the SOS LED strobe is activated.
