ON/OFF
To switch ON, press and hold the key for 1 second. During switch-on the radio will briefly test the LCD then switch on. The last selected channel, volume and squelch settings are restored.
To switch OFF, press and hold the key for 1 second. The radio will beep then switch off.
VOLUME
Press the key to increase the volume or press the key to decrease it. The volume setting is displayed next to the VOL: icon in values from 0 to 9.
NOTE: There will still be sufficient volume for incoming calls to be heard at the minimum volume setting . This is a safety requirement. It is not possible to completely silence the receiver audio.
CHANNEL SELECTION
Briefly press the key to step upwards one channel or the key to step downwards one channel. A beep will be heard with each key press and the channel number will change to indicate the selected channel.
Press and hold the or key for 2 seconds to quickly step upwards or downwards through the channels at a rate of 10 channels per second. During this time the channel display will update once a second to show progress. When the display nears the desired channel, release the key then individually press the or keys to select the channel.
SQUELCH
The GX610 has a squelch function to ensure the radio remains quiet when there are no signals being received. When a signal is received the squelch opens to allow the signal to be heard. When the signal has gone the squelch closes again and the receiver becomes quiet.
To manually open or close the squelch Briefly press the key. A low beep will be heard, and the
squelch will open. If there are no signals present you
8
will hear the receiver’s background `hiss’. While the squelch is open the BUSY icon is displayed.
Briefly press the key again to close the squelch. A high beep will be heard, the BUSY icon will disappear and the receiver will become quiet again.
Setting the Squelch Preset Level
The preset squelch level determines the sensitivity of the squelch to incoming signals. If you are in a noisy location or unwanted weak signals keep opening the squelch, you can increase the preset squelch sensitivity so the GX610 remains quiet. Note that increasing the preset squelch level will require stronger signals to overcome the squelch and may result in missed calls from weaker signals.
The optimum setting is the minimum one required to reliably keep the receiver quiet. The Squelch setting has a range from 1 to 9, with 1 being the minimum (most sensitive) level.
To adjust the squelch levell
Press and hold the key for 1.5 seconds until a high beep is heard. SQL: will flash on the display.
Briefly press the or keys to increase or decrease the squelch level. The current squelch level will be displayed next to the flashing SQL: icon. The squelch level adjustment is `live’ so if you are currently experiencing interference simply adjust the squelch level until the radio becomes quiet.
To exit the squelch setting, briefly press the key or simply wait for 10 seconds. A low beep will be heard and normal operation will be restored.
TRANSMITTING
To transmit, press the Push-To-Talk (PTT) key. The TX icon will appear on the LCD to indicate the radio is transmitting. Hold the radio in front of you with the microphone about 3-5 cm from your face and speak at a normal voice level. The microphone is quite sensitive so it is not necessary to raise your voice or shout.
For best performance speak across the microphone rather than directly into it.
Release the PTT when you have finished talking. The TX icon will disappear.
GX610
NOTE: Transmissions are inhibited on Channel 70 and any other channels that are configured as `Receive-only’ or `Data-only’. If the PTT is pressed on these channels the radio will emit a warning beep and the PTT will be ignored.
Time-out Timer
The GX610 incorporates a time-out-timer to automatically disable the transmitter if the PTT has been pressed continuously for more than 5 minutes. This is designed to prevent accidental jamming of the channel frequency.
When your transmission time approaches 5 minutes, a warning beep will be heard 10 seconds before timeout occurs and the TX icon will flash. If you release the PTT during this period, the time-out timer will be reset and you can begin retransmitting immediately.
However if the PTT is not released, a second warning beep will occur signalling that the transmitter has been disabled. Once the transmitter is disabled, the TX icon will continue to flash even after you release the PTT.
To reset the timer and re-enable the transmitter
Release the PTT and wait a further 10 seconds until the TX icon stops flashing. The timer will then reset and you can resume transmitting.
CHANNEL 16
Channel 16 is the international Distress, Safety and Calling channel. If you need to call for help in an emergency or are seeking relevant information from your local marine rescue base, use channel 16. If the call is for an emergency you will probably be asked to stay on channel 16 so others can provide assistance but for less serious incidences you will probably be transferred to a designated working channel.
Press the key at any time to go directly to channel 16. The transmit power will be restored to HI (2.5 Watts) and all other functions such as Scan, Dual Watch and Triple Watch will be cancelled.
Press the key again to return to the previously selected channel. Alternatively, press the or keys to manually select a different channel.
GX610
TRANSMIT POWER
The GX610 has both high power (2.5 Watts) and low power (1 Watt) transmitter settings. For local transmissions a low power setting will conserve power and reduce interference to nearby stations. If you require the best transmission range you should select a high power setting. The default setting is high (2.5 Watts).
To set the transmitter power
Briefly press the key to toggle high or low power. When high power is selected, a high beep will be heard and the HI icon will be displayed. When low power is selected, a low beep will be heard and the LO icon is displayed.
NOTE: High power (2.5 Watts) will be restored whenever Channel 16 is selected.
DISPLAY BACKLIGHTING
The LCD backlight will automatically illuminate whenever a key is pressed then extinguish 10 seconds after the key is released.
If desired, the automatic backlighting can be disabled so that it remains off even when a key is pressed.
