Hailer

If the radio is connected to a hailer loudspeaker, you can address the crew and nearby vessels using the fist mic.

See the Installation Instructions at garmin.com/manuals/SignalVHF for more information on connecting a hailer loudspeaker.

NOTE: You must use a head unit to speak through the hailer loudspeaker. You cannot use the hailer from a remote station.

Using the Hailer

  1. Select Menu icon > Hailer.
    The fist mic or external speaker begins playing sound picked up by the loudspeaker.
    NOTE: While in hailer mode, the radio does not play VHF traffic.
  2. Hold the push-to-talk (PTT) button on the fist mic to broadcast through the hailer louspeaker.
