Page 13: Adjustment Of Angle
6. Align the transceiver on the bracket, ensuring the holes of the internal part of the bracket line up with those on both sides of the transceiver (you can choose the preferred notch in order to best adjust the angle of the transceivers front panel for ease of viewing and use (150 of variation for each notch). -
Page 14: Connections
Never short circuit it, as this may damage the radio. We suggest using the sup- plied cable. 4.7.2 GPS device If your KV-300 transceiver is connected to a GPS receiver Module, such as the KP32, you can obtain and view NMEA information relative to the current position the vessel (latitude and longitude) and the local time with respect to Green- wich Mean Time (GMT). -
Page 15: Basic Operation
Important: when you turn on the radio for the very first time, the display will show channel 16; while usually, KV-300 stores the last channel in use before it's switched off. To turn the transceiver off, rotate the knob counter-clockwise until you hear a click. -
