U.S.A./International/Canada Channel Maps
Three (3) sets of VHF Channel Maps have been established for marine use in the U.S.A.,
Canada, and the rest of the world (International). Most of the channels are the same
for all three (3) maps, but there are definite differences (see table in the Appendix).
Your radio has all three (3) maps built into it and will operate correctly in whichever
area you choose.
To Set Channel Map Operating Area:
1. The Channel Map mode is the first mode that begins the
Marine (VHF) Setup programming.
2. U, I and C will display, with the current setting
(the U icon is the default) flashing.
3. Press Channel Up/Down buttons to select the
U, I or C icon.
4. Press Enter/Setup button to save this entry and move to
the next setup programming mode – Roger Beep.
NOTE
One or two of the channel maps might have been
disabled for sales of this radio in some countries.

•
The following series of procedures is designed to allow you to set the programmable
features of your radio. Correctly following these steps results in a minimal amount
of radio setup programming time.
NOTE
When in the Setup mode, if you stop programming for longer than 15 seconds,
your entry will be saved and the radio will go back to the Marine Standby
mode. Pressing any of the non-programming buttons (Talk, Dual-Watch/Scan,
Power Level/Weather, Instant Channel 16/9) will also exit Setup mode and
invoke the button function or return the radio to Marine Standby mode.
When you return to Setup mode and continue programming you will see the last
“value” displayed. While in the Setup mode, you will not receive any signal reception.
Programming these features will allow you to customize certain features of this
radio to enhance your “On-Water” audio needs.
Start from Marine Standby mode to begin Marine (VHF)
Setup programming. Press and hold the Enter/Setup button
for three (3) seconds to enter the programming mode.
