 appears at the top of the screen.

Speak into the handset.
NOTE: Five minutes is the maximum time allowed for transmission. After five

minutes of transmitting, PTT is disabled until you release PTT.

Release PTT.

You can control the receiving sensitivity of the radio. When you have noise in

high-traffic areas or areas with electromagnetic interference, such as near cell-

phone towers, you can set the receiving sensitivity to LOC to decrease receiver

sensitivity. In remote areas and on open water, you can set the receiving

sensitivity to DIST to ensure that you use the maximum range of the receiver.

Select HI/LO.

Select an option:
• Select LOC to enable local sensitivity.
• Select DIST to enable distant sensitivity.

You can control the transmitting power of the radio. Low (1 W) is used for local

transmissions, and high (25 W) is used for distance and distress transmissions.

When two signals broadcast on the same frequency, a VHF radio receives only

the stronger of the two signals. You should transmit calls other than distress calls

using the lowest power setting that allows you to communicate, to reduce the

possibility that your transmissions interfere with the transmissions of others.
In the USA frequency band, transmissions on channels 13 and 67 must be low

(1 W) by default.
In the International channel band, transmissions on channels 15 and 17 must be

low (1 W), and the radio does not allow transmissions on these channels to be

changed to high (25 W).

Select HI/LO.

Select 1W or 25W.

NOTE: Before you can use DSC capabilities, you must enter a Mobile Marine

Safety Identity (MMSI) number. An MMSI number identifies each DSC radio, like

a telephone number.
Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is a key component of the Global Maritime

Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). DSC enables VHF radios to place and

receive digital calls directly with other vessels and shore stations, including the

USA and Canadian Coast Guards. Your radio includes full Class-D DSC

capabilities.
For more information about DSC on your device, including using DSC for distress

calls, see the online owner's manual (page 6).
NOTE: The device disables DSC automatically when you turn on ATIS

(page 5).

You can enter your MMSI number only once. If you must change your MMSI

number after entering it, you must take your radio to your Garmin

®

 dealer for

reprogramming.
