Setting Up the Microphone

This portion of the menu system deals with features 
that the user may wish to change, however, these 
features are mostly adjusted on the initial setup of 
the radio or WHAMx4.  Most of these features are 
not changed as commonly as the items in the sys-
tem section of the menu.
The user will press the MENU key and use the 
DOWN or UP arrow keys to display the SETUP 
option. By pressing the SELECT key, the WHAMx4 
will enter the SETUP mode. By pressing the DOWN 
or UP arrow keys and then the SELECT key, the fol-
lowing System options are entered.

Using the Directory

This feature in the setup menu will allow the user to 
set up a directory of other boaters with DSC capable 
radios that have an MMSI.  The following screens 
will allow the user to setup and alphanumeric iden-
tity as well as the corresponding MMSI number.  
The following screens and commands will illustrate 
the operation of this feature.
Press the SELECT key.
Use the UP and DOWN arrows to move through the 
alphabet until the desired letter/number is reached 
(example “A”).  At that time the user will press the 
SELECT key and the next space will start flashing.
The same process will be repeated until the alpha 
tag is complete.  Once completed, the second 
space after MMSI will start flashing and the same 
process will be used to program in the MMSI num-
ber.
