SPEED: Sets the unit of measure shown for speed-related fields, such as speed-over-ground. TIME > FORMAT: Sets the time format. HEADING: Sets the radio to show all heading calculations, such as Course Over Ground (COG), using true or magnetic north. NOTE: If the radio is configured for NMEA 2000 communication, the heading unit is set to AUTO, and shows heading data based on the information provided over the network. This setting cannot be changed. Configuring the Time Offset You can show the local time rather than Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).

The radio tunes automatically to the weather channel that is broadcasting the alert. GPS ALARM: Sounds first when GPS data from a NMEA network or position data entered manually is more than four hours old. Sounds again when GPS data from a NMEA network or position data entered manually is more than 23.5 hours old (Manual Position Information, page 8). POSITION TRACKING: Appears after five consecutive failed attempts to request position information from a vessel (Position Tracking, page 7). Channel Lists USA, Canadian, and International channel lists are provided for reference only. You are responsible for the correct use of channels according to local regulations. USA Channels For the latest information on USA channels, go to the U.S. Coast Guard page (www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=mtVhf) or the Federal Communications Commission's Marine VHF Radio Channels page (wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm? job=service_bandplan&id=ship_stations). The FCC page does not include frequency information, but has more complete information on the use of the channels. NOTE: You should use channels listed as non-commercial. Use channel 16 to call other stations or to send distress alerts. Use channel 13 to contact a vessel when there is danger of collision. All vessels 20 m (65 ft.) or larger must guard channel 13 and channel 16 when operating within USA territorial waters. The FCC levies fines for improper use of channels 13 and 16.
