Setting the Receiving Sensitivity
You can control the receiving sensitivity of the device. 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.
1Select HI/LO.
2Select an option:
• Select LOC to enable local sensitivity.
• Select DIST to enable distant sensitivity.
4 Quick Start Manual
Switching Between 1 W and 25 W Transmitting Modes
You can control the transmitting power of the radio. LO (1 W) is used for local
transmissions, and HI (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.
1Select HI/LO.
2Select 1W or 25W.
Digital Selective Calling
Digital Selective Calling
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 7).
NOTE: The device disables DSC automatically when you turn on ATIS
(page 6).
Entering Your MMSI Number
NOTICE
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.
The Mobile Marine Safety Identity (MMSI) number is a nine-digit code that acts
as a DSC self-identification number, and it is required in order to use the DSC
capabilities of your device. You can obtain an MMSI number from the
telecommunications authority or ship registry for your country. In the USA, you
can obtain an MMSI number from these sources.
•Federal Communications Commission (FCC): assignments are recognized
internationally
• BoatU.S.®, Sea Tow®, or United States Power Squadrons®: assignments are
for USA waters only
1Select MENU > DSC > MY MMSI.
2Turn SELECT clockwise or counter-clockwise to increase or decrease the
number.
3Press SELECT to accept the number.
4Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each number in the sequence.
5Select ACCEPT.
The device prompts you to confirm your identity.
6Enter your MMSI number again, and select ACCEPT.
If the MMSI numbers you entered do not match, a message appears.
7If necessary, select RETRY and enter the number again.
Quick Start Manual 5
Automatic Transmitter Identification System
Automatic Transmitter Identification System (ATIS) is a vessel identification
system used on certain inland waterways in some European countries. See your
Garmin dealer to program your VHF radio if you plan to use your radio on
waterways that are within the bounds of the Regional Arrangement Concerning
the Radiotelephone Service on Inland Waterways (the Basel Agreement). ATIS is
prohibited outside the European inland waterways that are covered by the Basel
Agreement.
When you enable ATIS, your radio sends a data signal identifying your station at
the end of every transmission. Data identifying your position is not sent, but your
position is calculated through the method of triangulation by coastal stations that
receive your transmissions.
To enable ATIS, you must enter your ATIS identification number (page 6), and
turn on ATIS. See your Garmin dealer to determine your ATIS identification
number and to learn about ATIS requirements for your region.
Your radio disables these functions when you enable ATIS.
• Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
• Dual watch and Tri watch
• Channel scanning
International channels 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 71, 72, 74, and 77 restrict
transmitting to low-power (1 W) when you enable ATIS.
Entering Your ATIS Identification Number
NOTICE
You can enter your ATIS identification number only once. If you must change
your ATIS identification number after entering it, you must take your radio to your
Garmin dealer for reprogramming.
1Select MENU > ATIS > MY ATIS ID.
2Turn SELECT clockwise or counter-clockwise to increase or decrease the
number.
3Press SELECT to accept the number.
4Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each number in the sequence.
5Select ACCEPT.
The device prompts you to reenter your number.
6Enter your ATIS number again, and select ACCEPT.
If the ATIS numbers you entered do not match, a message appears.
7If necessary, select RETRY and enter the number again.
Turning On and Off ATIS
1Select MENU > ATIS > ATIS.
2Select ON or OFF.
