Introduction
Features
Your radio provides the following key features:
xx Submersible design. Complies with floating JIS8/IPX8 water-resistant standards,
which means the radio can be submerged in 1.5 meters of water for 1 hour without
damage.
## Notes:
The radio will only meet this rating if fully assembled and all rubber seals and
bungs are well maintained and correctly fitted. This means that the speaker
microphone bung is inserted, and the battery pack (or case) and antenna are
attached and securely fastened.
West Marine VHF460 Radio Owner’s Manual
E-1
After your radio is submerged in water, the sound might be distorted. This
is because there is still water remaining in and around the speaker and
microphone. Just shake the radio to clear excess water, and the sound should
return to normal.
If your radio is exposured to salt water, clean it thoroughly with fresh water
and dry it before turning it on.
The charger is not waterproof.

Attaching the Antenna
The antenna detaches from the radio for easy shipping or storage. To attach the antenna to
your radio, screw it tightly onto the anchor post at the top of the radio.
Installing the Battery
Your radio comes with a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery; for shipping safety, the battery is
not installed at the factory. An empty auxilliary battery tray is installed as a placeholder.
1.
Insert the hook on the battery into the notch at the top of the battery compartment.
## Note: Each time you remove the battery, check the rubber seal around the battery
compartment. Make sure the seal is seated in the groove and there is no dirt or debris on
it. If the seal looks worn or damaged, contact customer service to order a replacement (see
back cover page for contact information).
2.
Lower the battery until it rests flat in the compartment.
3.
Bring the battery latch up and snap it into place.
Using Rechargeable Batteries
The radio also comes with an auxilliary battery tray that holds four AAA-type NiMH
rechargeable batteries (not included). You can use rechargeable batteries as a backup
when the Li-Ion battery gets low and needs to be charged.
## NOTE: When using rechargeable batteries, transmit power is limited to a maximum of
1.5W.
Follow these steps to use the accessory battery tray:
1.
Hold the lower part of the tray in one hand with the three battery contacts facing
down. Use your thumb to hold the notch on the lower part of the tray.
2.
With your other hand, grip the upper part of the tray and lift the cover open.
3.
Align the batteries’ positive and negative terminals with the drawing on the case and
snap each battery into place.
4.
Insert the two hooks on the lower part of the tray into the notches on the cover; close
the cover. (The cover fits snugly but you should not have to force it closed.)
5.
Install the auxilliary battery tray in your radio just as you do the Li-Ion battery (see
page E-11).
WARNING! The accessory battery tray is designed to prevent the accidental charging of nonrechargeable batteries. Never use rechargeable batteries in the radio without the accessory
battery tray.
Mounting the Charger
You can mount the charger on any flat surface.
1.
Use the two holes at the base of the charger as a template to mark the drill holes.
2.
Using a 1/8-inch (or 3 mm) drill bit, drill two holes 1/2 inch (13mm) deep.
3.

Setting Up Your Radio
Turning It On
Press the POWER button for at least two seconds to turn the radio on. Press and hold it to
turn the unit off.
Entering the User MMSI
When you power up your radio for the first time, it displays MMSI Not Entered and then
displays a Marine mode screen. User MMSI numbers are unique and cannot be entered
more than once. See page E-16 for general information about MMSI numbers and how to get
your specific User MMSI number and enter it.
## If you must change your user MMSI, contact West Marine (see back cover for contact
E-12
West Marine VHF460 Radio Owner’s Manual
information).
Setting It Up
Even though you can change your radio’s settings at any time, you will probably want to
establish initial settings when you have turned it on for the first time. You will adjust some
of these settings on an as-needed basis, but some settings might only be set once and not
need adjustment at all.
Acquiring GPS Location
The VHF460 automatically acquires your current GPS location when it is turned on. Turn on
the radio and point the antenna towards the sky. It will triangulate your location and save it.
## Do not let anything obstruct the antenna, such as a metal cabin ceiling.
Changing the Volume
To change the speaker volume, press VOLto enter Volume Setting mode.The VOL
adjustment bar displays on the LCD. Press Channel Up or Channel Down to increase or
decrease the volume levels (0 - 15).
Setting the Squelch Level
The VHF460 recognizes signals as transmissions if they exceed a signal strength
threshold. Adjusting the squelch sets this threshold level. Increasing squelch requires a
signal to be stronger to be seen as a transmission. If you set the squelch too high, you
will risk not receiving transmissions that are lower than that threshold. Reducing the
squelch allows weaker signals to be accepted. However, if you lower the squelch too
much, you will hear white noise all the time.
While listening to a channel, press SQ/MEM to enter Squelch Setting mode. The SQ
adjustment bar displays on the LCD. Press Channel Up or Channel Down to increase or
decrease the squelch levels (0 - 15).
## Note: Setting the squelch level too high may prevent you from hearing weaker transmissions.
If you are having difficulty hearing a transmission, try setting the squelch level lower.

Digital Selective Calling Features
What is DSC?
Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is a standard that allows you to call other stations using
their unique identification code (the Maritime Mobile Service Identity or MMSI number), just
like you would call a phone number. To call another station, just enter that station’s MMSI
number and choose the voice channel you want to talk on. The radio uses channel 70 to
West Marine VHF460 Radio Owner’s Manual
E-15
transmit your MMSI number to the other station along with the voice channel you requested.
If the other station accepts your call, both radios automatically switch to the requested voice
channel so you can talk to the other station.
DSC provides a system for automated distress calls. At the touch of a button, the radio can
transmit your MMSI number, the nature of your distress, and your current position based on
data from your GPS receiver. The radio repeats the distress call every few minutes until it
receives an acknowledgement.
The DSC standard dedicates a VHF channel—channel 70—to digital transmissions only.
Since digital transmissions require less bandwidth voice transmissions, channel 70 avoids
the problems of busy voice channels.

Making DSC Calls
There are essentially four different types of DSC voice calls:
Call type
What it does
When to use it
Distress
Alerts all stations that you need assistance and
sends them your current position.
In an emergency only.
Individual
Calls a single station using the User MMSI.
When you want to talk to another station.
Group
Calls all the stations that have the same Group
MMSI as yours.
Any time you want to talk with the whole
group you are traveling with at the
same time.
All Ships
Calls all stations within range of your radio.
Safety warnings (e.g., debris in the
water) or any urgent situation.
Suppose you are coordinating safety for a sailboat race. Before the race starts, you instruct
all the racers to enter your group MMSI number into their radios. During the race:
xx Throughout the race, you use group calling to update the racers on the time, race
status, and any course corrections.
xx A power boat full of spectators comes too close to the race path. You use individual
calling to contact the power boat and advise them to stay clear of the race.
xx You see a rowboat entering the area, but since it doesn’t have a radio, you can’t
communicate with the rowboat. You use all ships calling to alert all the other boats in
the area of the possible danger.

Position Request and Reply
Enabling Automatic Position Reply
If you want the radio to automatically transmit your current position whenever it receives a
position request, you can enable automatic position reply. Most boaters activate automatic
position reply for safety reasons or because they subscribe to a marine towing service.
Sometimes—for example, in some competitive situations--you may not want other stations
to get your position without your manual confirmation

Press and hold MENU/CALL to display the Call menu.
2.
Select DSC Setup and then Position Reply.
3.
Choose Auto and press GPS/ENT H/M/L. The radio will automatically transmit your
position when it receives a position request.
4.
To disable automatic position reply, repeat the steps above and select Manual.

GPS Features
GPS Operation Overview
Your GPS system provides more than just your specific location. The MOB (Man
Overboard) menu lets you immediately save your current position so rescuers can converge
on the exact man overboard location. The Favorites menus let you create a directory of
favorite places and their coordinates so you can easily return there. Using the GPS Setup
menus, you can determine power-saving options, measurement increments, and time
settings.
The radio is factory-preset to search for your geographic location when it is turned on for
the first time.
MOB Menu
The MOB menu lets you quickly save your current selection so you can easily navigate back
to it. It will be saved in the first position of the Favorites list.
Favorite Menu
The Favorite menu is comprised of the Goto menu and the Add menu. The Goto menu adds
(saves) the current GPS position as well as recalls that position and others you have saved
to sail back to it.
Goto Menu
The Goto menu allows you to select from a list of saved coordinates or to input coordinates
manually.

NMEA Features
Your radio supports NMEA0183, a standard for data communication between marine
instruments. If you are connected to a chartplotter and the radio receives another boat’s
position data (sentences) in a DSC call, the radio sends the position data to the chartplotter
so you can see the location.
NMEA sentences contain different sets of data. The VHF460 supports the following
sentences:
DATA
UTC Time
RMC
GLL
GNS
GGA
ZDA
Status (Valid/IInvalid)
Latitude/Longitude

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Renaming Channels
If you discover that a marine radio channel has a different common name in your local area,
you can change the name of that channel to make it easier for you to use (see the channel
lists beginning on page E-31 for the default channel names). To rename a channel, follow the
steps below:
1.
Press MENU/CALL and select Channel Name from the Normal menu. The screen
displays the list of channels.
2.
Use Channel Up and Channel Down to choose the channel you want to change and
press DSP/ENT H/M/L.
3.
Select Rename to enter a new name for this channel. The radio prompts you to enter
a new name for this channel. Each name can be up to 12 characters. Use Channel
Up and Channel Down to change the name.
4.
When you finish entering the name, the radio displays the new channel name and
asks you to confirm. To save this new channel name, select Save; to cancel the
change, select Exit. The radio returns to the channel list.
5.
To restore a channel back to its original name, select the channel and choose Default.
6.
When you are satisfied with the channel list, select Exit.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Due to its rugged design, your radio requires very little maintenance. However, it is a
precision electronic instrument, so you should follow a few precautions:
xx If the antenna has been damaged, do not transmit except in an emergency situation.
Doing so may cause further radio damage.
xx You are responsible for continued FCC technical compliance of your radio.
xx Arrange for periodic performance checks with your West Marine dealer.

Regulations and Safety Warnings
WARNING! Read this information before using the radio.
Maritime Radio Services Operation
Warning! This transmitter will operate on channels/frequencies that have restricted use in the
United States. The channel assignments include frequencies assigned for exclusive use of the U.S.
Coast Guard, use in Canada, and use in international waters. Operation on these frequencies without proper authorization is strictly forbidden. See page E-31 for tables of the available channels and
their uses. If you are still not certain which channels to use, see the FCC maritime radio page at the
E-36
West Marine VHF460 Radio Owner’s Manual
FCC website (http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=service_home&id=maritime) or contact
the FCC Call Center at 1-888-CALL-FCC. For individuals requiring a license, such as commercial
users, you should obtain a license application from your nearest FCC field office (for US users) or
Industry Canada (for Canadian users).
Basic Radio Guidelines
You should familiarize yourself with the rules on marine radios and be aware of which rules apply
to your boat. Complete guidelines for all ship and marine radio types can be found at the US Coast
Guard website under the topic Radio Info for Boaters (the direct link is http://www.navcen.uscg.
gov/?pageName=mtBoater. Here are a few guidelines that affect nearly all boaters.
•
If you have a VHF radio on your boat, you must maintain a watch on channel 16 (156.800 MHz)
whenever the radio is not being used to communicate. Starting in 2004, if a radio is carried, it
must be on and set to channel 16. Whenever your boat is underway.
•
If you hear a distress call, wait a few minutes to let a shore station or Coast Guard vessel respond. If no other station has responded after 5 minutes, you must respond to the distress call.
•
Do not make false mayday or distress calls as a prank or to test your radio. (This is essentially
like making a false 9-1-1 call; you may be subject to fines.)
FCC/Industry Canada Information

Any change or modification must be approved in writing by West Marine. Changes or modifications
not approved by West Marine could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC RF Exposure Information
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action
in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The
design of the radio complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Never allow children to operate the radio without adult supervision and the knowledge of the following guidelines.
WARNING! It is up to the user to properly operate this radio transmitter to insure safe operation.
Please adhere to the following:
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the radio, or violate FCC regulations.
Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the
skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.
Body-Worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations using the supplied belt-clip. To maintain
compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, body-worn operations are restricted to the supplied belt-clip. For hand-held operation, the radio should be held 1 inch from the user’s face. The
West Marine VHF460 Radio Owner’s Manual
E-37
use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements and should be avoided. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov.
Lithium Ion Battery Warning
This equipment contains a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. The rechargeable Lithium Ion battery
contained in this equipment may explode if disposed of in a fire.
Do not short-circuit the battery.
Do not charge the rechargeable battery used in this equipment in any charger other than the one
