Using the Hailer
Before you can use the hailer function, you must provide and install a hailer horn on your boat deck or tower (optional). For more information, see the Installation Instructions.
The hailer allows you to make on-boat or ship-to-shore announcements, and allows two-way communications between connected radios. You can address the ship using the radio or handset, and sounds received through the horn can be heard through the radio speaker. For vessels with enclosed cabins, the hailer allows you to hear sounds from the deck.
NOTE:
Hailer functionality is not available on all VHF radio models.
NOTE:
When the radio is in hailer mode, it does not receive broadcasts from the currently active channel.
