Your 2way radio represents the state-of-the-art in high-tech engineering. Designed for VHF Marine Service operation, this compact package is big on performance. [. . . ] Initial charge time is 24 hours with a charge time of 8-12 hours thereafter. For maximum battery life, we recommend charging the Nautico1 when the low battery indicator comes on. Insert the AC adapter plug (or DC Cigarette Lighter adapter if charging in vehicle) into the charging jack on the side of the radio. Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or any batteries or battery packs other than the one indicated in the manual. For long-term storage of the radio, turn the radio OFF and remove the batteries from the radio. ! OPERATING YOUR RADIO POWER ON/OFF AND VOLUME Rotate the POWER/VOLUME knob clockwise to turn the radio on and increase the volume level. Rotate the control counter-clockwise to reduce the volume level and to turn the radio off. During Power On, the radio will beep 3 times with different tones, the LCD will display a "self-test" message for 1 second and the LCD display will indicate the last selected channel. 7 TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING 1. Press and hold the PTT button and speak in a normal voice into the microphone. The TX icon will appear continuously on the LCD display while transmitting. ABOUT RANGE Your Nautico1 radio is designed to give you maximum range under optimum conditions. Optimum Conditions are: · Over water · Open rural areas without obstructions · Flat areas where you can see the other person To ensure you get maximum range: · Be sure to use fresh or fully charged batteries ­ low batteries will cause low power conditions · Be sure the radio is set to high power 8 MONITOR Pressing and holding the MONITOR button for 1 second will let you hear noise so you can adjust the volume level of the radio when not receiving a signal. This should be used to check activity on your current channel before transmitting. Press and release the Monitor button for 1 second to get out of Monitor mode. Your radio will rapidly scan each of the channels and stop on any active channel for 5 seconds before resuming scan. When you press the PTT button to transmit on an active channel, the scanning function will stop and remain on the active channel. INSTANT CHANNEL 16/9 Channel 16 (Distress Channel) is used for calling other stations or for distress alerting. Channel 16 is automatically monitored during both dual watch and tri watch. You can also switch to Channel 9, the leisure-use call channel, without changing your normal channel by pressing and holding the CH16 Button for 1 second. Pressing the CH16 button again returns the radio to the normal channel setting. CALL TONE Your Nautico1 can transmit a call tone for a fixed length of time. To send a call tone, press the PTT button twice within ½ second. The TX icon will appear while transmitting a call tone and a tone can be heard on the speaker for confirmation.
