Foghorn
NOTE: Foghorn functionality is not available on all VHF radio models.
Before you can use the foghorn, you must provide and install a hailer horn (optional) on the deck or tower of
your boat. For more information, see the Installation Instructions.
The foghorn is part of the public address system of your radio. You can sound the foghorn through a hailer horn
or an external speaker. Your radio can sound the horn automatically using standard patterns, or you can sound
the horn manually. When you manually operate the foghorn, sounds received through the horn can be heard
through the radio speaker between soundings.
Sounding the Foghorn Automatically
1 Select PA > FOG > AUTO.
2 Select a foghorn-type option.
The radio alternates between sounding the pattern of tones or rings and receiving radio broadcasts.
3 Turn the ENTER dial to adjust the volume of the horn (optional).
Sounding the Foghorn Manually
NOTE: When you sound the horn manually, the radio does not receive broadcasts between horn soundings.
1 Select PA > FOG > MANUAL.
Sounds are received through the horn and heard through the radio speaker.
2 Hold PTT.
NOTE: The horn stops sounding when you release PTT.
3 Turn the ENTER dial to adjust the volume of the horn (optional).
Adjusting the Sound Frequency of the Foghorn
You can increase or decrease the sound frequency of the foghorn. The pitch of the tone rises with an increase in
frequency, and falls with a decrease in frequency. The minimum setting is 200 Hz, and the maximum setting is
850 Hz. The default setting is 350 Hz. Regulations dictate the correct frequency of foghorns, which correlate
with the size of your vessel.
1 Select MENU > SYSTEM > FOG FREQUENCY.
2 Turn the ENTER dial to adjust the frequency in 50 Hz increments.
3 Select ACCEPT.

You may need to enter a name, a number, or other text on the radio.
1 From a number or text field, turn the ENTER dial to change the number, letter, or character.
2 Press the ENTER dial to accept the number, letter, or character and move to the next space in the sequence.
3 Repeat this process for each number, letter, or character.
