Using GPS

Your radio can display GPS information if you connect an optional GPS module to it. If the GPS
module is properly connected to the radio and is working, GPS OK appears on the radio's
display. Otherwise, CHECK GPS appears.
Press PUSH/SELECT to display the current GPS mode, date, time, speed, course, latitude,
and longitude. Press PUSH/SELECT again to set the radio to its marine mode.
Notes:
• You cannot use a WHAM wireless microphone to use the GPS display on the radio.
• If the radio is not receiving valid data from the connected GPS module, the GPS data that
appears blinks.
• If you press any key except DISTRESS, HAIL/INTERCOM or MENU, the radio sets itself to
its marine mode. If you do not press any key, the radio sets itself to GPS mode.

Using Position Setting Mode

To set the radio to its position setting mode, press PUSH/SELECT when the radio is set to its
marine mode and does not have a GPS module connected. A screen appears that you can use
to set the UTC time, latitude, and longitude used with DSC call.
To save the UTC time, latitude, and longitude you set, hold down PUSH/SELECT for about 2
seconds.
Notes:
• When you set the time in this mode, be sure to set it to the current UTC time, not local time.
• If the radio does not receive valid GPS data for at least 4 hours, it sounds a tone and
INPUT POS appears.
• The radio automatically alerts you if the UIC is currently set to a location but the vessel is
actually in another area's territorial waters. For example, the radio alerts you if the UIC is
set to USA but the vessel is actually in Canadian waters.

Using Battery Hi/Lo Detect

The radio automatically alerts you if the connected battery is providing too much or not enough
power. If the battery is providing more than 16 volts, BATTERY HIGH appears. If the battery is
providing less than 11 volts, BATTERY LOW appears.

Using 16/9 TRI

Press 16/9 TRI once to quickly tune the radio to Channel 16. Press 16/9 TRI again to quickly
tune the radio to Channel 9. Press 16/9 TRI a third time to quickly tune the radio to the channel
you tuned before you pressed 16/9 TRI.
Notes:
• Pressing 16/9 TRI cancels WX mode if the radio is set to WX mode.
• Pressing 16/9 TRI stops the radio from scanning if the radio is set to Scan mode.
• The radio cancels Coast Guard/Distress/Hailing mode if you press WX, MENU, HAIL, or
STEP/SCAN, hold down STEP/SCAN or MEM/UIC, or rotate PUSH/SELECT.
