Using Your Radio
NOTE: By default, when you change to channel 16, the radio automatically
boosts the power to 25 Watts. Be sure to change the power back to 1 Watt if
you are not making an emergency transmission.
Some channels (for example, channels 13 and 67) limit the power of
transmission to 1 Watt so that there is less interference between boaters
attempting to use the channel at the same time. If you switch to one of these
channels, the radio changes back to 1 Watt automatically. See the channel
list on page 58 for a list of power-restricted channels.

Choosing Triple Watch or Dual Watch

In Triple Watch mode, the radio briefly checks channels 16 and 9 every two
seconds. In Dual Watch mode, the radio checks channel 16 only. Generally,
Triple Watch is used in areas where channel 9 is used as a hailing frequency,
while Dual Watch is used in areas where channel 16 is used for distress and
hailing. Your radio comes set to use Triple Watch; if you want to use Dual
Watch instead, you will have to select it in the setup:

Using FIPS codes for weather alerts

The US National Weather Service established 6-digit Federal Information
Processing System (FIPS) codes to issue weather alerts in specific areas.
You can choose which areas you want to hear alerts for by entering these
FIPS codes in your radio. This can prevent you from being bothered by
events that are far from where you are boating. The radio only sounds the
alert tone if an incoming FIPS code matches one of the areas you selected.
