Setup Mode Programming

•

The following series of procedures is designed to allow you to set the programmable features of your radio. Correctly following these steps results in a minimal amount of radio setup programming time.

NOTE

When in any of the Setup modes (Marine (VHF), GMRS or WX Alert), if you stop programming for longer than 15 seconds, your entry will be saved and the radio will go back to the specific Standby mode that you were in when you started programming. When you return to Setup mode and continue programming you will see the last “value” displayed. While in any Setup mode, you will not receive any signal reception.

Marine (VHF) Mode Programming

Programming these features will allow you to customize certain features of this radio to enhance your “On-Water” audio needs.

Start from Marine Standby mode to begin Marine (VHF) Setup programming. Press and hold the Call/Enter/Setup button for two (2) seconds to enter the programming mode.
