HORN and press ENT.

• HORN
• UNDERWAY

3. Scroll through the menu to select a fog horn type, then press ENT to start the selected
fog horn sounding. All except HORN and SIREN will sound automatically.

EXIT to cancel it. When the fog horn is not sounding, it is in LISTEN mode.
5. To change the volume, turn the Channel Select knob, or press + or – when the fog horn
