Uniden Marine Radio User Manual

When the power is turned on, the transmitter is set for 25 Watts (except
for USA Channels 13 and 67, and CANADA channels 13, 15, 17 and
20). The 

indicator will appear on the LCD Panel, indicating 25 Watt

output power. In order to comply with FCC Regulations contained in 47
CFR 80.215 (g) (3), USA Channels 13 and 67 transmit at 1 Watt
regardless of the H/L selector setting. However, 25 Watt output for
emergency use is available by pressing 

while pressing the 

switch. When the H/L switch is released, the radio returns to the 
1 Watt position.

To switch to the LO (1 Watt) position, press 

. The 

indicator will

appear on the LCD Panel, indicating 1 Watt output power. The LO
position should always be used for in-port or short range
communications.

Press 

to switch to the HI (25 Watt) position. The 

indicator will

appear on the LCD Panel, indicating 25 Watt output power.

To activate the transmitter, press the 

switch on the microphone.

The 

indicator appears on the LCD Panel, indicating a signal is being

transmitted. Release the switch to receive. When transmitting, hold the
microphone approximately two inches from your mouth and speak
clearly in a normal voice.

When the OCEANUS is turned on, the LCD Panel will be brightest.
Pressing the 

and 

buttons will change the brightness.

The last setting will remain in memory. When you turn on the radio the
next time, the display will be at this setting.

If the 

switch on your microphone is held for more than 5-minutes,

the OCEANUS transmitter automatically shuts off, a warning tone
sounds, and the 

indicator begins to flash. This prevents damage to

your receiver, and – in the event that the transmission is unintentional –
communication frequencies will not be jammed.
