Setup Mode Programming

NOTE
When the time offset is at zero (0), the LCD shows the

time as UTC. When a time zone hour offset is entered,
the LCD shows the local time. All DSC messages are
based on UTC.

The radio will also show the local time as the
adjustment is being made.

U.S.A./International/Canada (UIC) Channel Maps
There are three (3) sets of VHF Channel Maps 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 differences (see tables on
pages 16-23). The radio is built with all three (3) channel
maps included and operates correctly in any selected area.

To Set the Radio for the Area Used:

1. Enter the Setup menu and scroll to the UIC menu.

2. Press the Enter button and observe the current channel

map setting.

3. Move the selection arrow to select the desired channel.

4. Press the Enter button to select the channel map setting.

5. When the changes are complete, exit the UIC menu and

return to the Setup menu.
