RS81/RS82 VHF 52 E04572 8 MENU MODE Menu mode is used to adjust the various settings of the radio, such as channels inhibited from scan functions, MMSI number programming and User channel selection. To enter Menu mode, press S HIFTfollowed by 9(MENU). Use the V OL▲and VOL▼keys to scroll through the menu options below: • Scanning(section 8.1) – Options related to the various scanning functions such as channel inhibit, memory scan select and scan dwell time. • Numbers(section 8.2) – Entering of ID numbers such as MMSI, Group MMSI and ATIS numbers (if applicable in country of use). • VHF Items(section 8.3) – Miscellaneous options such as selection of User channel, last used channel, interrupt inter- com, speaker settings and SimNet management. To select an option, press O K. To return to normal radio opera- tion, press O N/C. NOTEEntering Menu mode will inhibit the operation of the radio. Exit Menu mode before returning the handset to the cradle to permit normal operation. 8.1 Scanning Once the Scanning menu option has been selected (see intro- duction to section 8), use the V OL▲and VOL▼keys to scroll through the menu options below: • All scan inhibit (section 8.1.1) • All scan reset (section 8.1.2) • All scan show (section 8.1.3) • Memory scan select (section 8.1.4) • Memory scan clear (section 8.1.5) • Memory scan show (section 8.1.6) • Scan dwell time (section 8.1.7) To select an option, press O K. To return to the main menu, press O N/C. 8.1.1 All scan inhibit If the radio is repeatedly locking onto a busy channel when scanning, this channel can be inhibited, i.e. excluded from the scan cycle. Instruction manual 53 E04572 Use the VOL▲and VOL▼keys to select another option, or O N/Cto return to the upper menu level. 8.1.3 All scan show This function will display all inhibited channels. From the Scanning menu select “ALL SCAN SHOW” and press O K. The display will change to “SHOWING CHANNELS” and display all inhibited channels in sequence. Press the V OL▲and VOL▼keys to select a further option, or O N/Cto return to the main menu. 8.1.4 Memory scan select This function selects the channels to be used in the Memory scan cycle (see section 7.9). Repeat the above procedure to enable or inhibit further chan- nels, or use the V OL▲and VOL▼keys to select another menu option. To exit this menu level, press O N/C. 8.1.2 All scan reset To reset all inhibited channels select “ALL SCAN RESET” from the Scanning menu and press O K. The display will show “CHANNELS RESET” (Fig 8.2). From the Scanning menu select “ALL SCAN INHIBIT” and press O K. Enter the relevant channel number using the numeric keypad. The display will show the channel number and its cur- rent status – “ALL SCAN” for enabled, or “ALL SCAN INHIB- ITED” for excluded channels (Fig 8.1). Use the O Kkey to change the channel’s status. 65 ALL SCANAA INH IB ITEDB INT Fig 8.1 - Selected channel inhibited from scan CHANNELSSS RESETEDBBB Fig 8.2 - All inhibited channels reset RS81/RS82 VHF 54 E04572 Press the VOL▲and VOL▼keys to select another Scanning menu option, or press O N/Cto return to the main menu. From the Scanning menu choose “MEM SCAN SELECT” and press O K. Enter the relevant channel number using the numeric keypad. The display will show the channel number and its memory status – “MEM SCAN” if it is not currently selected for memory scan, or “MEM SCAN ENABLED” if it is already selected (Fig 8.3). Use the O Kkey, to change the channel’s status – i.e. if it is not selected, pressing O Kwill add it to the Memory scan cycle and vice versa. Repeat the above procedure to select or deselect further chan- nels. When finished, press O N/Cto return to the main menu, or use the V OL▲and VOL▼keys to select another menu option. NOTENorth American users– Only one Weather channel can be stored in the memory scan; if another one is selected, it will override the existing channel. The Weather channel is not scanned as part of the memory scan sequence, it is in fact used by the Weather Watch function (see section 11.1). 8.1.5 Memory scan clear Memory scan clear will remove all previously selected chan- nels. To clear all channels select “MEM SCAN CLEAR” from the Scanning menu, then press O K– the display will change to show “CHANNELS CLEARED” (Fig 8.4). 65 MEM SCANAA ENABLEDBB INT 65 MEM SCANAA INT Fig 8.3 - Selecting channel for Memory scan CHANNEL CURRENTLY NOT SELECTEDCHANNEL ALREADY SELECTED CHANNELSSS CLEAREDBBB Fig 8.4 - Clearing all previously selected channels Instruction manual 55 E04572 8.1.6 Memory scan show This function displays all channels selected for Memory scan. From the Scanning menu select “MEMORY SCAN SHOW” and press O K. The display will change to “SHOWING CHANNELS” and display all enabled channels in sequence. Press the V OL▼or VOL▲key to select another Scanning menu option, or O N/Cto return to the main menu. 8.1.7 Scan dwell time This function is used to select the amount of time the RS82 remains on a channel, after it has locked onto it during a scan- ning function (All scan or Memory scan) and the signal is lost. From the Scanning menu (section 8.1) select “SCAN DWELL TIME XX” (where “XX” denotes the current dwell time in sec- onds), then press O K(Fig 8.5). The default time is “0”, meaning that the scan will continue as soon as the signal is lost. There are 11 levels from 0–10 seconds. Use the numeric keys to enter the scan dwell time and press O K to select – the display will show “DWELL TIME XX SECONDS”. Press the V OL▲or VOL▼key to select another Scanning menu option, or O N/Cto return to the main menu. 8.2 Numbers The Numbers menu is used for entering ID numbers such as MMSI, Group MMSI and ATIS (if applicable in country of use). Once the Numbers menu option has been selected (see intro- duction to section 8), the V OL▲and VOL▼keys to scroll through the menu options below: • Ship’s MMSI(section 8.2.1) • Group MMSI(section 8.2.2) • ATIS number (section 8.2.3) NOTEThe ATIS number option will only be shown if the radio is AT…

The AHS81 and AHS82 have been designed with simple opera- tion in mind for ease of use, even in installations that have one station of each type. The handsets are fully waterproof and designed for all environments from the navigation station to the open cockpit. 1.1.1 About this manual This manual combines operating and installation information on both the RS81 and RS82 and is divided into four main parts. As the handsets have differing layouts and functions are accessed in different ways, we recommend that you familiarise yourself with the information pertaining to the product that you have purchased prior to installation or use. This will facili- tate full understanding of the many operating features and ensure straightforward installation. Thank you for choosing Simrad! If you are pleased with your VHF radio, we hope you will be interested in our range of marine electronic equipment, which is manufactured to the same high standards as the RS81/RS82. Please contact your nearest Simrad agent for a catalogue show- ing our increasing range of high-tech navigational instruments, GPS, Autopilots, Radar, Echosounders, Chartplotters and VHF radio sets. Simrad operates a policy of continual development and reserve the right to alter and improve the specification of their products without notice. 1.2 Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines (US only) To meet FCC (Federal Communications Commission) rules on Radio Frequency Exposure, it is recommended that the VHF antenna is mounted at least 3 m (10 ft) away from any area accessible to any personnel onboard. If this distance is achieved by vertical separation, the antenna must be at least 5 m (16.5 ft) above deck to allow for the height of an adult. This guideline applies only to antennae not exceeding 9dBi gain. In order to comply with the FCC’s Maximum Permissible Expo- sure (MPE), the radio operator is responsible for ensuring that there is no personnel within this range before transmitting. WARNINGFailure to observe these recommendations may expose those within the MPE radius of 3 m (10 ft) to RF absorption levels that exceed the FCC safe limits. RS81/RS82 VHF 12 E04572 Issue 1.0 RS81/RS82 VHF 108 E04572 13.4 Channel Frequencies NOTECh 0 will only be made available in the UK to Coastguard users with written authorisation. Channel 70 is the designated Digital Selected Calling(DSC) channel and may not be used for voice transmissions.
