Eight automatic fog and warning signals are available for maritime signaling. An auxiliary audio input (5 kΩ) allows connection of external devices such as a VHF radio or smartphone to broadcast content through intercoms and horn speakers. Alarm functions are also integrated, including a siren mode that can interface with the vessel’s fire detection systems, and the ability to serve as a general or anti-theft alarm system. The backlit LCD screen simplifies operation and configuration, including renaming intercom channels. The microphone input impedance is 600 Ω.
