Renaming Channels 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 list on page 58 for the default channel names). To rename a channel, follow the steps below: 1. Display the menu and choose the Setup sub-menu. 2. Select Channel Name. The screen displays the list of channels. 3. Use CHANNEL UP and CHANNEL DOWN buttons to highlight the channel you want to change and press the SELECT-1W/25W button. 4. 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 the CHANNEL UP and CHANNEL DOWN buttons to change the first character. (See Table 6 Character and text entry order on page 29 for the available characters and the order in which they scroll). 5. When the first character is correct, press the SELECT-1W/25W button. The cursor moves to the next character. Enter the remaining 11 characters of the name. If the name is shorter than 12 characters, press and hold the SELECT-1W/25W button to complete the name entry. 6. 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 Yes; to cancel the change, select No. The radio returns to the channel list. 7. To restore a channel back to its original name, select the channel and choose Default. 8. When you are satisfied with the channel list, select Exit to close the menu screen. E-41
