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 m m] 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-Lbutton. 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.
