+/-

band of gradually rising bars on the LCD display.

Scanning Channels
You may want to keep in contact with several
vessels in your immediate area at the same time.
For this purpose, the scan feature is available.
You can program up to ten channels from any
combination of USA, International, or Canadian
bands into memory. Whenever a transmission is
received, the scan will stop at that channel until
the transmission ends and then move on until it
recognizes another transmission. You cannot
scan weather channels since they broadcast
continually and do not allow a break in trans-
mission for the scan to move to the next channel.
You can utilize the WX Alert feature to monitor
for severe weather conditions.
To scan channels:
1. Before activating the scan feature you must
program at least two channels into memory. You
can do this by pressing the U/I/C key to select the
desired channel band and then use the
UP/DOWN arrow keys to select channels in that
band. Press the MEM key to place the displayed
channel in the scan memory. (Figure 7)
2. Repeat this process for the desired channels.
3. Press the SCAN key to begin the scanning
process. Pressing the SCAN key again will stop
the scanning process.
