The HX870E is equipped with the E2O (Easy-To-Operate) menu system. Basic operation may be accomplished by following the procedure below: : Press and hold to turn on/off the transceiver. PTT (Push-To-Talk): Activates the transmitter when pressed. -
Page 5: Introduction
We appreciate your purchase of the HX870E, and encourage you to read this manual thoroughly, so as to learn and fully understand the capabilities of the HX870E. -
Page 6: General Information
The HX870E is capable of DSC (Digital Selective Calling) ITU-R M.493 Class D operation. Class D operation allows continuous receiving of Digital Selective Calling functions on channel 70 even if the radio is receiving a call. The HX870E operates on all currently-allocated marine channels which are switchable for use with International, USA, or Canadian regulations. -

TIME LOC 09:56 NOTE • When the HX870E is first turned on, it may take several minutes to compute a fix of your position. This is normal, as the HX870E is down- loading “almanac” information from the GPS satellites. • When using the HX870E inside of a cabin where GPS reception is limited, choose a place where GPS satellite reception is good enough referring to the GPS status display. -
Page 18: Changing The Gps Time
CHANGING THE GPS TIME From the factory the HX870E shows GPS satellite time or UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) time. A time offset is needed to show the local time in your area. The time offset must be changed in order for the radio to display the current time in your area. -
