5.5 Button MON (Monitor)

The Monitor button is for temporarily excluding (opening) the squelch, in order to listen to signals

that are too weak to keep the squelch permanently opened. By excluding the squelch you will

avoid listening the communication “chopped” by the squelch. In order to activate the Monitor

function, so as to listen to all trafc on the selected channel, keep pressed the MON/SCAN[18]

button for about 2 seconds. Keep pressed the button MON/SCAN[18] for about 2 seconds to

disable this function.

5.6 Choosing high or low transmission power

Batteries are drained more quickly during transmission. In order to extend the battery life you can

select the low power when transmitting over short distances:

1) Press the MENU[17] button twice and the writing Pr will display.

2) Select LO[8] using the scroll buttons / [19].

3) Press PTT[11] to conrm, or wait for 5 seconds.

If you want to transmit a longer distance repeat the above procedure to select the high power. At

step 2 use the scroll buttons / [19] to make the writing LO[8] disappear. When the batteries are

in good conditions, high power is about 5 watt, whereas low power is about 1 watt.

A low battery level during transmission will have a negative effect on the performance of your

device.

5.7 LCD backlight

If there is insufcient light to read the display you can press the MENU[17] button to switch the

display back light on for about 5 seconds.

Switching the back light on the display adds an additional drain on the batteries. Try to make a

moderate use of this.

5.8 Instant selection of Channel 16

Channel 16 is the marine channel most frequently used for emergency. Your transceiver is

equipped with a button that provides instant access to this channel. To recall rapidly channel

16 press the button CH 16[12]. No matter what mode the device is operating, channel 16 will be

selected immediately. To go back to the previously selected channel press again the button CH

16[12].

5.9 Power saving feature

The battery power saving feature enables a reduction in the consumption of up to 50%;

Power saving comes on automatically when the transceiver does not receive any signal for more

than seven seconds. When the battery pack is discharged (the icon [3] appears on the display)

batteries need to be substituted or recharged if they are Ni-MH type.
