IMPORTANT!

Normal radio operation is suspended when you are using the foghorn or intercom, but an incoming DSC signal will interrupt the intercom facility and you must attend to the DSC signal before using the foghorn or intercom again.

The dual handsets on the NS100 DS radio provide a useful intercom facility.

When you lift a handset out from its customised bracket, an inbuilt sensor automatically makes the handset operational.

1.Press FUNC then 6 on your handset (handset- 1) to enter the intercom mode. The radio calls handset-2 for one minute.

2.Handset-2 beeps and the LCD screen shows a message to indicate that you (handset-1) are calling.

3.If the person at handset-2 wants to enter intercom mode and reply, they need to pick up handset-2, then press PTT to talk.

You can use the intercom for a maximum of five minutes, and you can adjust the intercom volume during the listening mode with ^VOL and VOLv.

4.When you are finished with the intercom mode, just press <ESC to return to normal radio operation. Always be sure to replace your handset back in its customised bracket.

Use the hailer on the NS100 DS

PORT OPS	FUNC>WAITING	HAILER MODE	HAILER MODE
N 38 27.021’	N 38 27.021’	LISTENING	HAILING

The NS100 DS radio has a useful hailing facility with ten volume settings. To use the hailer:

1.Press FUNC then 4 to activate the hailer. The LCD screen shows HL to confirm that hailer mode is operating and also shows the hailer volume as a percentage.

2.Press PTT to send a hail. Speak at a normal volume into the handset microphone, and use the ^VOLv buttons if you need to increase or decrease the volume.

The hailer horn has a listening function which allows sounds picked up by the hailer horn to be heard over the radio. To change the volume, use the ^VOLv buttons when LISTENING is shown on the LCD screen.

You can use the hailer for a maximum of 30 minutes.

3.When you are finished using the hailer, just press <ESC to return to normal radio operation.
