Adjusting the Sound Frequency of the Foghorn
You can increase or decrease the sound frequency of the foghorn. The pitch of the tone 
will rise with an increase in the frequency, and will fall with a decrease in frequency. The 
minimum setting is 200 Hz and the maximum setting is 850 Hz. The default setting is 350 
Hz. Regulations dictate the correct frequency of foghorns. Typically, these regulations 
correlate the required foghorn frequency with the size of the vessel.

Listening to NOAA Weather Broadcasts and Enabling 
Weather Alerts
NOTE: This functionality is not available with the VHF 300i or VHF 300i AIS. NOAA 
broadcasts on the WX channels are only available in the USA and certain regions in Canada.
There are 10 WX (weather) channels that are pre-programmed into your radio to monitor 
weather broadcasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Organization (NOAA). WX 
channels are listen-only channels.
These broadcasts are in a continuous loop and are updated regularly. Because the NOAA 
weather centers broadcasting the information are regional, the weather information will be 
relevant to your broadcast area.
Accessing WX (Weather) Mode
1.  While viewing the Home screen, press the 
Channel
 knob. “WX” is displayed to indicate 
that you are listening to WX frequencies.
2.  Turn the 
Channel
 knob to change the channel.
3.  Select 
EXIT
 to return to the Home screen. The radio returns to the channel you were 
listening to before you entered WX mode.
