MONITOR
Pressing and holding the MONITOR button for 1 second will let you hear noise
so you can adjust the volume level of the radio when not receiving a signal. This
should be used to check activity on your current channel before transmitting.
Press and release the Monitor button for 1 second to get out of Monitor mode.
SCAN
Your Nautico1 can scan all channels for activity. To enter, quickly press the
SCAN button. Repeat the same procedure to exit. Your radio will rapidly scan
each of the channels and stop on any active channel for 5 seconds before
resuming scan. When you press the PTT button to transmit on an active channel,
the scanning function will stop and remain on the active channel. To resume
scanning, quickly press the
button.
INSTANT CHANNEL 16/9
Channel 16 (Distress Channel) is used for calling other stations or for distress
alerting. Channel 16 is automatically monitored during both dual watch and tri
watch. You must monitor Channel 16 while standing by. Channel 16 is only to be
used in emergency situations. You can also switch to Channel 9, the leisure-use
call channel, without changing your normal channel by pressing and holding the
CH16 Button for 1 second. Pressing the CH16 button again returns the radio to
the normal channel setting.
