For the best sound quality, hold the microphone about

two inches away from your mouth.

See the tables starting on page 42 for a list of receive-

only channels.

Boosting the transmission power

In most situations, 1 Watt of transmission power is all you

need. If you nd yourself far away from other stations and

have trouble getting a response, you may need to boost the

transmission power from 1 Watt to 2.5 Watts or 5 Watts:

Select the channel you want

to transmit on

Press and hold the BAND-

1/2.5/5W button for two

seconds to switch to the next

transmission power level (for

example, from 5 Watts to 2.5

Watts; from 2.5 Watts to 1

Watt, or from 1 Watt around

to 5 Watts).

The display shows the new

transmission power in the

upper left hand corner. The

transmit power remains at

the new setting until you

change it again.

Note: Don’t forget to

change the transmission setting back to 1 Watt when

you move close to other stations.

Some channels (for example, channels 13 and 67) limit

the power of transmission to 1 Watt so that there is less

interference between boaters attempting to use the channel

at the same time. If you switch to one of these channels, the

radio changes back to 1 Watt automatically. See the tables

starting on page 42 for a list of power-restricted channels.
