Charging the Battery Pack
Your marine radio is powered by a specially designed Lithium Ion
battery pack.
•Before operating the VOYAGER, charge the Lithium Ion battery
pack for 15 hours without interruption in the drop-in charger.
Place the VOYAGER in the drop-in charger.
The red LED lights and stays on.
•The charger won’t overcharge the battery pack.
•Do not transmit when the VOYAGER is in the drop-in charger!
•You can monitor incoming calls while the VOYAGER is in the
drop-in charger.
•You can charge the battery pack alone or connected to the
VOYAGER.
•Periodically, the Li-ion battery should be fully drained prior to
recharging.

Operation
•When you press any key (except PTT), a short tone sounds.
•When you turn on your VOYAGER, it is automatically tuned to
channel 16, the United States Coast Guard frequency for
distress, safety, and calling.
•See the foldout in the front of the operating guide for button,
knob, and key positions.
Turning on the Unit and Setting Squelch
Before you turn on the unit, turn the
Squelch knob fully counterclockwise.
Then, turn on the unit by turning the
Volume/Power knob clockwise until you
hear a hissing sound.
Turn the Squelch knob clockwise, just until
the hissing sound stops. Use the knob to
adjust to the desired squelch level. Think of
the squelch control as a frequency gate
which controls access to weak or strong
signals depending on its setting.
•To listen to a weak or distant station, turn the knob
counterclockwise. If reception is poor, turn it clockwise to cut
out weak transmissions.
•If the squelch control is adjusted so you continually hear a
hissing sound, the unit will not scan properly.
To turn off the unit, turn the Volume/Power knob counterclockwise
until it clicks.

⇒Increase antenna height.
Will not transmit on 5 watt range but will transmit on the 1 watt
range.
Cause: Low voltage
⇒Recharge or replace the batteries.
Will not transmit while on the charger.
Cause: Low voltage
⇒The unit is not designed to transmit while on the charger.
The charger does not supply enough power for
transmitting.

Cause: Charger inoperative
⇒Replace charger. Damage to the charger can be a result
of keying up the radio while on the charger.
Battery will not hold a charge
Cause: Battery has developed a memory
⇒Periodically, drain the Li-ion battery before recharging.
