INSTANT SELECTION OF CHANNEL 16
Channel 16 is the marine channel most frequently used for emergency. Your
transceiver is equipped with a button that provides instant access to this chan-
nel. To recall rapidly channel 16 press the CH 16 button. No matter what mode
the device is operating, channel 16 will be immediately selected. To go back to
the previously selected channel press again the CH 16 button.
POWER SAVE
The battery power saving feature enables a reduction in the consumption; po-
wer saving comes on automatically when the transceiver does not receive any
3
signal for more than seven seconds.
This parameter can be changed by means of the optional programming soft-
ware.
SQUELCH
The Squelch function suppresses noises on free channels and allows to receive
even weak signals.
ARCTIC has 10 (0-9) different Squelch levels:
0 means that the Squelch is turned off; from level 1 to level 9 you will have
3
different levels of noise reduction. The higher is the level, the louder will be
8
the Squelch.
By default, the Squelch level is set on level 5 but it can be changed by the
programming software or Menu.
To select the Squelch level:
1.
Press the MENU button;
1.
Turn the Encoder knob until "SQL" is displayed;
1.
Press the ENT
button;
1.
Turn the Encoder knob and select the desired Squelch level (the levels
3
8
available are 10);
1.
Confirm your selection with ENT
Make sure you do not set an excessively high squelch level because in this case
DW
you may not be able to receive weaker signals. On the other hand an exces-
sively low Squelch value could enable the Squelch even when no signals are
present.
Squelch must always be adjusted when no signals are present.
