Operating Your Radio

Local Mode Button

Channel Preset Buttons

Getting Started

Local Mode Button

The radio features a Local Mode button that decreases radio sensitivity when operating inside populated areas.

■When the Local Mode button is On, the power of an inbound receive (Rx) signal is reduced without distorting the waveform. Reducing an inbound signal power prevents “noise interference” from random RF Noise in populated marinas, cities and commercial areas. When the Local Mode button is On, the “Local On” icon displays.

■When the Local Mode button is Off, the radio receives a full signal with an extended operational range.

Channel Preset (Function) Buttons

Use the Channel Preset buttons for direct access to favorite channels in the Standby mode and as selection keys in the Setup mode.

■When a Channel Preset button is pressed and released, the radio goes directly to the assigned preset channel. If no preset channels are assigned, three (3) error tones sound. After the button is released, the radio returns to the Standby mode.

■When a Channel Preset button is pressed and held for more than two (2) seconds, the working channel will be assigned to the button.
