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 NAUTICO3 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 9/16
Channel 16 (Distress Channel) is used for calling other stations or

for distress alerting. 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

CH9/16 button for

1 second. Pressing the

CH9/16 button again returns the radio to the

normal channel setting.
CALL ALERT
Your NAUTICO3 can transmit a call alert for a fixed length of time. To

send a call alert, press the

PTT button twice within 1/2 second. The

TX icon will appear while transmitting a call alert and a tone can be

heard on the speaker for confirmation.
