Configuring the Time Offset You can show the local time rather than Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). When you adjust for local time, LOC appears after the time on the home screen. NOTE: When you make a DSC call, the time is sent in UTC format. 1 Select MENU > SYSTEM > UNITS > TIME > OFFSET. 2 Turn the ENTER dial to adjust the time offset from UTC. 3 Select OK. Selecting the Frequency Band You can switch between the USA, International, or Canadian frequency bands (Channel Lists, page 10). NOTE: Not all frequency bands are available on all device models. 1 Select MENU > CHANNEL > FREQUENCY BAND. 2 Select a frequency band. Changing a Channel Name Channel names appear on the home screen using nine characters. If a channel name is longer than nine characters, the full name scrolls across the top of the screen, then switches to the short name. You can change the name of a channel to reflect a local meaning. 1 Select MENU > CHANNEL > NAME. 2 Turn the ENTER dial to select a channel, and select OK. 3 Change the name of the channel (Entering Text, page 4). 4 Select ACCEPT. • To view the latest USA channel list, go to www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=mtVhf. • To view the latest Canadian channel list, go to www.ic.gc.ca /eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf01011.html#sched1.
