In addition to the three main operation modes, the VHF650 also provides
three different “watch” modes which you can activate during any of the three
basic modes. In the watch modes, the radio briey checks for activity on a
specic channel, then returns to its previous mode.
Watch mode What it does: Use it when: To turn it on/off:

Using the radio in normal mode
To transmit, press and hold the PUSH TO TALK button on the
microphone. Release the button when you are nished talking.
For the best sound quality, hold the microphone about two inches from
your mouth while you’re talking.
Press the CHANNEL UP button on the radio or the + button on the
microphone to move up one channel at a time. Press and hold either
button to scroll quickly up the channels.
Press the CHANNEL DOWN button on the radio or the - button on the
microphone to move down one channel at a time. Press and hold
either button to scroll quickly down the channels.
To change the transmit power, press and hold the SELECT-1W/25W
button for two seconds. The transmit power switches between 1 watt
and 25 watts each time you press and hold the SELECT-1W/25W button.
Normal mode with Weather Alert Watch
If you activate Weather Alert Watch
while operating in normal mode,
the radio checks the most recently-
used weather channel every seven
seconds. If it detects a weather
alert for your area, it will change the
channel to the last-used weather
channel. The radio will not check
the weather channel while you are actively transmitting; it waits until your
transmission is nished and then checks the weather channel.

To enter weather mode, press the WX-ALERT button.
Weather mode can lter out alerts that do not affect your location if
the location code (FIPS code) of the alert is entered in your radio (see
page 21). If you have no FIPS codes programmed into your radio, the
radio will notify you of all alerts in any area.

Getting Started
Weather mode with Weather Alert Watch
Because weather mode already monitors the weather channels, you don’t
need Weather Alert Watch to check the weather channel every seven
seconds. If you activate Weather Alert Watch while operating in weather
mode, it operates as a type of “sleep mode”: the radio stays on the weather
channel and mutes the speaker. If an alert is detected for your area, the
radio sounds an alert tone and turns the speaker back on. This mode is very
useful when you are anchoring for the night but want to stay informed of any
hazards in your area.
Press and hold the WX-ALERT button for two seconds to turn Weather Alert
Watch on or off.
Weather mode with Triple and Dual Watch
If you activate Triple Watch while operating in weather mode, the radio
checks channels 16 and 9 every two seconds; with Dual Watch turned on, the
radio only checks channel 16.
To turn off the radio’s alert tone, press any button.
To cancel weather mode and return to the previous marine channel,
press the WX-ALERT button again.
Press and hold the 16/9-TRI button (on the radio or the microphone) for two
seconds to turn Triple/Dual Watch on or off. (To change between Triple or
Dual Watch, see page 21.)
