![FM-4000Page 26and then go back to either CH16 or CH9 for your initial contact.When the hailing channel (16 or 9) is clear, state the name of the other vesselyou wish to call and then “this is” followed by the name of your vessel andyour Station License (Call Sign). When the other vessel returns your call, im-mediately request another channel by saying “go to,” the number of the otherchannel, and “over.” Then switch to the new channel. When the new channelis not busy, call the other vessel.After a transmission, say “over,” and release the microphone’s push-to-talk(PTT) switch. When all communication with the other vessel is completed, endthe last transmission by stating your Call Sign and the word “out.” Note that itis not necessary to state your Call Sign with each transmission, only at thebeginning and end of the contact.Remember to return to CH16 when not using another channel. Some radiosautomatically monitor CH16 even when set to other channels or when scan-ning.10.10 MAKING TELEPHONE CALLSTo make a radiotelephone call, use a channel designated for this purpose, Thefastest way to learn which channels are used for radiotelephone traffic is toask at a local marina. Channels available for such traffic are designated Pub-lic Correspondence channels on the channel charts in this manual. Someexamples for USA use are Channels 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 84, 85, 86, and 87.Call the marine operator and identify yourself by your vessel’s name. The marineoperator will then ask you how you will pay for the call (telephone credit card,collect, etc.) and then link your radio transmission to the telephone lines.The marine telephone company managing the VHF channel you are usingmay charge a link-up fee in addition to the cost of the call.10.11 OPERATING ON CHANNELS 13 AND 67CH13 is used at docks and bridges and by vessels maneuvering in port. Mes-sages on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting andpassing in restricted waters.CH67 is used for navigational traffic between vessels.By regulation, power is normally limited to 1 Watt on these channels. Yourradio is programmed to automatically reduce power to this limit on these chan-nels. However, in certain situations it may be necessary to temporarily use ahigher power. See page 18 ([H/L] key) for how to temporarily override the low-power limit on these two channels.](https://usermanual.wiki/Furuno-USA/9ZWFM4000.users-manual-part-1/User-Guide-1194860-Page-26.png)
