Chapter 5: Navigation & Communication Equipment
Before using these systems for the first time, read and understand the instruction manuals and observe the following:

VHF Radio (If Equipped)

Your boat may include a VHF (Very High Frequency) radio at the helm. The VHF radio can be used to access
weather reports, summon assistance or contact other vessels as permitted by the FCC (Federal Communications
Commission). Be sure to contact the FCC for licensing, rules and regulations concerning VHF radio usage.

Compass (If Equipped)

Compass accuracy can be affected by many factors. Have a qualified technician calibrate your
compass. Make sure the technician gives you a deviation card which shows the corrections to
apply in navigational calculations. Keep a copy of the deviation card at the helm.
Your boat may come equipped with a compass. Carefully read and follow the manufacturer's calibration and operat-
ing instructions provided in the boat's owner's packet.
