SELECTING A CHANNEL/FREQUENCY I Memory mode/VFO mode The transceiver has 2 operating modes: memory mode and VFO mode. Memory mode is used to select pre- programmed marine channels in one of the 3 channel groups; VFO mode is used to select frequencies around preprogrammed channels.
SELECTING A CHANNEL D Scan function The scan function allows you to automatically search channels within a group for signals. There are 2 scan types (selectable in set mode) as follows: Scan operation Channel scan ➀ Rotate the [GROUP] selector to select the group you wish to scan.
SELECTING A CHANNEL I 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: While pushing [ENT] + [0], push [POWER] to turn Group A, channel 1 is power on.
