SELECTING A CHANNEL/FREQUENCY ■ Memory mode/VFO mode The transceiver has 2 operating modes: memory mode and VFO mode. The memory mode is used to select preprogrammed marine channels in one of the 3 chan- nel groups; The VFO mode is used to select frequen- cies around preprogrammed channels.
SELECTING A CHANNEL/FREQUENCY D Scan function The scan function allows you to automatically search for signals with a group of channels. There are 2 scan types (selectable in the set mode) as follows: Channel scan Scan operation q Rotate the [GROUP] selector to select the group you wish to scan.
SELECTING A CHANNEL/FREQUENCY ■ Resetting the CPU Under some circumstances, the transceiver’s internal CPU may cause erroneous indications on the display. If this happens, reset the CPU as follows: Group A, channel 1 is While pushing [ENT] and [0], push [POWER] to turn selected after resetting power ON.
