Turning the key beep on and off
Key beep is the tone that sounds when you press a key or a
button. You cannot change the key beep volume.
To turn key beep on or off, press and hold Channel up or
Channel down while turning on the radio. You may need to turn
off the radio rst.
Setting Key Lock
You can lock and unlock the keypad by pressing LOCK/UIC.
If Key Lock is on, only PTT, Boost, and power on/off will
operate. Key Lock remains in memory when the radio is
turned off.
Key Lock will automatically turn off if a WX Alert signal is
received.
Using the external speaker/Mic jack
You can connect an optional external speaker-mic to this
watertight jack. Unscrew the cap, which is held by the rubber
cap-keeper to prevent loss. Insert the special gasketed
plug and screw down the shell, which prevents water from
entering the jack.
For details, consult your dealer or contact West Marine
directly (see back cover for contact information).
