Attaching the spacer to the beltclip
A spacer is included to be used with the optional Speaker/Microphone. The spacer must be affixed to the beltclip of your ATLANTIS radio.
Remove the backing from the spacer and attach it to the upper part of the beltclip.
Do not operate your ATLANTIS radio when using the optional Speaker/Microphone unless the spacer is properly affixed behind the beltclip.
In order to reduce the likelihood of exces­sive radio frequency exposure, the spacer is provided for you to increase the distance between the radio antenna and the human body when operating the radio while attached to your belt. Additional steps should be taken to maintain a separation distance of at least 1 inch between the antenna and the human body.
Atlantis_OM.qxd 06/08/2001 4:51 PM Page 12
Charging the Battery Pack
Your marine radio is powered by a specially designed NiMH battery pack or an Alkaline battery pack. (Alkaline batteries are not included.) Before operating the ATLANTIS, charge the NiMH battery pack for 15 hours without interruption the first time.
1. Place the ATLANTIS in the cradle holder.
You can monitor incoming calls while
the ATLANTIS is in the cradle holder.
You can charge the battery pack
alone or connected to the ATLANTIS.
Periodically, the NiMH battery
should be fully drained prior to recharging.

Operation
When you press any key (except
PTT), a short tone sounds.
When you turn on your ATLANTIS, it
is automatically tuned to channel 16, the United States Coast Guard frequency for distress, safety, and calling.
See the foldout in the front of the
operating guide for button, knob, and key positions.
Turning on the Unit and Setting Squelch
1. Before you turn on the unit, turn the
Squelch
knob fully counter clockwise.

turn the knob counterclockwise.
If the tracking squelch control is
adjusted so you continually hear a hissing sound, the unit will not scan properly.
4. To turn off the unit, tur n the
Volume/Power
knob counterclockwise.

Troubleshooting
à Not enough range
Cause: Line of sight blocked Ú Switch to 5W mode
(if available).
à Will not transmit on 5 watt range but
will transmit on the 1 watt range.
Cause: Low voltage. Ú Recharge or replace the
batteries.
(Use high quality alkaline batteries).
à Battery will not hold a charge.
Cause: Battery has developed a
memory.
Ú Periodically, drain the NiMH
battery before recharging. (This can be done by listening to the weather channel until the battery drains).
à Strange Display
Cause: Inverted display has
been activated.
Ú Press and hold the
1/5W
key
for 2 seconds.

FCC Safety Precautions
When operating your portable marine VHF radio transceiver, you should know that the antenna radiates radio frequency energy. This radio was designed to meet the FCC's rules and regulations for the maximum permissible exposure to radio frequency energy. This design was tested and found to be compliant to the strict requirements established by the FCC.
The belt clip is provided for the purpose of carrying the radio ONLY. Do not attempt to activate the transmitter from this position unless you have installed the proper Uniden speaker/microphone accessory.
WARNING: It is up to the user to proper ly operate this radio transmitter to
insure safe operation. Please adhere to the following:
Ú Never allow children to operate the radio without adult supervision and the
knowledge of the following safety guidelines.
Ú Hold the radio transceiver to your face, but always maintain at least a 1 inch
separation distance between your body (including the face and eyes) and any surface of the radio.
Ú Never allow the antenna to touch the human body or to come within 1 inch
when the transmitter is active.
Ú When using an external speaker or microphone, USE ONLY THE UNIDEN
MODEL HHATL07. This accessory is designed to be used with a spacer that keeps the radiating parts of the portable marine VHF radio away from the human body at a distance where the radiated energy is below the maximum permissive level. Use of any other accessory for this purpose may invalidate your authority to operate this device!
