3.2 Display symbols
Your marine transceiver is fitted with an LCD (liquid crystal) display to
keep you up to date on its operating status. The symbols and parame-
ters that may appear are outlined below:
B

A
R
Q
P
O
A) Field strength indicator/relative transmission power – during
reception, this displays the strength of the signal received. During
transmission, it indicates the relative output power. The level indi-
cated is proportional to the number of bars seen.
B) StopWatch (chronometer) – appears on the display when the chro-
nometer function is activated.
C) Call – indicates that the two-tone audio call is activated (the CALL
button is pressed).

D) Keypad tones – indicates the activation of tones to confirm when
buttons are pressed.
E) Scan - appears when the transceiver is performing channel scan-
ning.
F) Keypad lock – indicates that the keypad is locked.
G) VOX – appears on the display when the VOX (Voice Operated
eXchange – hands-free transmission) function is activated.
H) Battery level – indicates the remaining battery power. The four bars
disappear proportionately as power decreases. When the battery
charge is no longer high enough to guarantee correct functioning of
the transceiver, this icon will flash to signal that the batteries need
to be recharged (or replaced).
I) DW – the transceiver is performing in Dual Watch mode.
J) These small numbers indicate different data according to the fun-
ction selected, such as the memory channel selected, the band
selected (INT, USA, CANADA), etc.
K) Weather channels/information (only on the USA band) – indica-
tes that you are receiving on a weather channel, or that the channel
you have selected is currently transmitting weather information.
L) Mem – indicates that you are using one of the programmed memo-
ries from your most-used channels.
M) Power Saver – appears when the power saver is active.
N) A icon (only with the USA band) – this icon indicates when an A
channel has been set from the North American band.
O) These two large numbers indicate the marine channel currently se-
lected. During regulation of sensitivity or delay in VOX mode, they
will read as LE (level) or dL (delay).
P) TX - appears when the radio is transmitting.
Q) BUSY – appears when the transceiver is receiving a signal.
R) LOW – indicates that low transmission power has been selected.
