SELECTING A CHANNEL

To manually select a channel, press CH ▲ or ▼ briefly. Communication

channels are located on channel 01-28 and 60-88. Weather channels

are located on channels WX 0-9.

TRIPLE WATCH

Triple Watch monitors Channel 16, Channel 9, and the current Marine

Channel (home or normal Channel) or Weather Channel.

To activate Triple Watch, Press

16/9/TRI for more than two seconds.

TRI appears on the Radio Status Display, indicating Triple Watch mode

is in effect. If a signal is received on either Channel 16 or Channel 9, the

radio remains on that channel until the signal ends.

Press 16/9/TRI for more than two seconds to cancel the Triple Watch mode.

Note: While in Triple Watch mode, you can change the currently

selected channel using CH ▲ and ▼.

A momentary press of the 16/9/TRI button interrupts Triple

Watch mode and remains on channel 16, or on channel 9 if

you press 16/9/TRI briefly once more. To return to the Triple

Watch mode, simply press the button briefly again.

Note: In the US, the Coast Guard may refer to Channels 21, 22, 23

etc. as 21 alpha, 22 alpha, etc. The VHF500 shows these

channels in the USA mode as channel 21, 22, 23, etc.
