[. . . ] To change the operating band (channel set) of the transceiver, hold down the 16/9 key and press the WX key. The band will change from USA, to International, and to Canadian with each press. "USA" appears on the LCD for the USA band, "CAN" appears for the Canadian band, and "INTL" appears for the International band. Refer to the marine channel charts in the OWNER'S MANUAL SUPPLEMENT for allocated channels in each band. 4. 6 NOAA WEATHER CHANNELS 1. To receive a NOAA weather channel, press the WX key. The transceiver changes to the weather channel mode. This mode consists of a special pre-set memory bank containing the standard NOAA weather channels. The transceiver will be set to the last-used NOAA weather channel. Press the [p] or [q] key to change to other weather channels. To exit from the weather channel mode, press the WX key. The transceiver will revert to the channel you were using prior to switching to the weather channel mode. 4. 7 SCAN This transceiver provides a special "Scanning Memory Bank" which allows you to designate certain channels for inclusion in a "loop" which will be scanned at high speed. If an incoming signal is detected on one of the channels in the scanning loop, the radio will pause on that channel, allowing you to listen to the incoming transmission. Select the desired channel to be included in the scanning loop using the [p] or [q] key. Press the MEM key to store the channel into the transceiver's scanning memory. "MEM" will be displayed on the LCD. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all the channels to be scanned. To delete a channel from the transceiver's scan memory, press the MEM key again while the memorized channel is displayed. "MEM" will disappear from the display. All channels programmed remain in the transceiver's scan memory even if the power is turned off. See section 4. 17: "RESETTING THE TRANSCEIVER'S MICROPROCESSOR" to clear all channels from the transceiver's scan memory. Page 12 HX460S 6. Adjust the SQUELCH CONTROL knob until background noise is eliminated. The scan proceeds from the lowest to the highest programmed channel number and stops on channels when a transmission is received. [. . . ] Please observe the following precautions: DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS Shorting the terminals that power to the transceiver can cause sparks, severe overheating, burns, and battery cell damage. If the short is of sufficient duration, it is possible to melt battery components. Do not place a loose battery pack on or near metal surfaces or objects such as paper clips, keys, tools, etc. When the battery pack is installed on the transceiver, the terminals that transfer current to the transceiver are not exposed.
