CONTROLS AND INDICATORS |
|
|
|
NOTE |
This section defines each control of the transceiver. See Figure 1 for location of controls. For detailed operating instructions refer to chapter 4 of this manual.
3.1 CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS
q POWER SWITCH/VOLUME CONTROL
Turns the transceiver on and off as well as adjusts the audio volume. To turn the transceiver on press and hold this knob until the LCD turns on. To turn it off, press and hold this knob until the LCD turns off. When the power is turned on, the transceiver is set to the last selected channel.
Secondary Use
When the transceiver is turned on while the SCAN and WX keys are held down, the internal microprocessor is reset. This clears the memory and all user-programmed settings, such as scan memory, assignments. This condition is known as the default condition, the same as when shipped from the factory. For a list of these defaults, see the section on Resetting the Transceiver’s Microprocessor.
NOTE
Resetting the microprocessor will not erase DSC MMSI and Directory Call Waiting information.
w SQUELCH CONTROL (SQL)
Sets the point at which random noise on the channel does not activate the audio circuits but a received signal does. This point is called the squelch threshold. Further adjustment of the squelch control will degrade reception of wanted transmissions.
e KEY PAD
16/9 Key
Immediately recalls channel 16 from any channel location. Holding down this key recalls channel 9.
Secondary use
Please see secondary use for the WX key.

WX Key
Immediately recalls the previously selected NOAA weather channel from any channel location.
Secondary use
1.Holding down the 16/9 key while pressing the WX key changes the mode from USA to International or Canadian.
2.Holding down the WX and SCAN key while turning the power on resets the microprocessor and erases scan channels from memory. This clears the memory and establishes the factory-set defaults. For a list of these defaults, see the section on Resetting the Transceiver’s Microprocessor.
SCAN Key
1.Starts and stops scanning of programmed channels.
2.If held while the UP or DOWN key is pressed, the radio will show the channels in scan memory. This function will not work if the unit is scanning.
Secondary use
Press and hold the SCAN key to add the selected channel into the transceiver’s scan memory. To delete the channel from scan memory, press and hold the SCAN key until the MEM disappears from the LCD.
DISTRESS Key
To send a distress call see section 6.2, (Sending a Distress Call).
CALL/SET Key
The CALL/SET key functions as the enter key.
Secondary use
Press the CALL/SET key to access the DSC OPERATION menu. The following DSC functions can be accessed from the DSC OPERATION menu; INDIVIDUAL, ALL SHIPS, STANDBY, and CALL WAIT.
Press and hold the CALL/SET key to access the SETUP menu. The following functions can be accessed in the SETUP menu; LAMP ADJUST, CONTRAST, INDIV DIR, KEY BEEP, TIME SET, USER MMSI.
H/L Key
Toggles between high and low power. When the H/L key is pressed while the transceiver is on channel 13 or 67, the power will temporarily switch from LO to HI power until the PTT is pressed. The H/L key does not function on transmit inhibited and low power only channels.
UP and DOWN Keys
The UP and DOWN keys are used to select a desired channel and to select items in the DSC OPERATION and SETUP menus. The UP or DOWN key on the microphone can also be used to select channels.
