Using The Backlight; Selecting Transmit Power; Operation - Humminbird DC 5 Operation Manual

To delete a channel from Memory, select the Memory function and ensure the MEM enunciator
is displayed. Use the Up or Down arrow button to select the channel to be deleted, and press
M+/-. The channel is now deleted from memory.
Remember, you must be outside of the Memory function to store a channel to Memory, and the
Memory function must be active to delete a channel from Memory.
Note: Removing the battery pack will erase programmed channels from memory. Programmed
channels may also be lost if the battery charge is low.

USING THE BACKLIGHT

The LIGHT button turns on the backlight for both the display a and the keypad. Pressing the
LIGHT button again will turn the backlight off or, if no button is pressed, the light will go off
automatically after about 10 seconds in order to save battery power.

SELECTING TRANSMIT POWER

The DC5s has a selectable transmit power output. The HI annunciator indicates that the unit will
transmit at 5 watts, the LO annunciator indicates the 1 watt output power is selected. Press HI/LO
to toggle between the two.
Selection of certain channels will cause the DC5s to automatically select the LO power output.
This feature is required by the FCC.
The HI power output will usually result in greater transmit range, at the expense of battery
consumption. When maximum range is not necessary, selecting LO transmit power will conserve
battery power.

USING THE DC5s
To place a call with the DC5s, turn the power on and adjust the volume and squelch controls.
Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to select the desired channel. Normally, channel 16 is used
for an initial call, then once contact is made with the receiving party, another channel is selected
by both parties to avoid excessive congestion on channel 16.
