Electronics- Garmin VHF
Your vessel may be equipped with an optional VHF marine radio. The
unit features ship to ship, ship to shore, weather station and U. S. Coast
Guard channels.
The unit features DSC technology (Digitial Selective Calling) when
activated by a nine digit MMSI number. When set-up properly it can
transmit your GPS position (GPS input required).
The radio uses three soft keys linked to onscreen menus that permit the
operator to see and easily select the information they desire. The sound
is of the highest quality to enhance every message sent and received.
Also, the messages are displayed on a 3.2 inch screen.
Before each outing check to make sure it is operating properly along
with receiving weather data. This check should be part of the pre
departure routine. Make sure someone beside the captain knows how
to use the radio. Refer to the Garmin owner’s manual.
To activate the VHF radio do the following:
1. Turn the boat battery switch located in the engine compartment to
the “on” or green position.
2. On selected Regal models activate the electronics dash switch.
3. To turn on the radio, press and hold the 16/9 key. If you have not
entered a Mobile Maritime Safety Identity (MMSI) number, you must
press the CLEAR key to access the HOME screen.
4. To turn off the radio, press and hold the 16/9 key.
A general description of the button functions and features are
found in the next pages. Refer to the Garmin owner’s manual
for more detailed information and instructional aids. Garmin
