CAUTION
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver and optional FM-3010
employ waterproof construction, which corresponds to JIS
waterproof specification, Grade 7 (1 m/30 min.). However,
once the transceiver or microphone has been dropped, waterproofing cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that the
case may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, etc.
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they may damage the transceiver
surfaces.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not open the equipment unless totally familiar with electrical circuits and service manual.
Only qualified personal should work inside the equipment.
Be sure that the power supply is compatible
with the voltage rating of the equipment.
Connection of an incorrect power supply can cause fire or
equipment damage. The voltage rating of the equipment appears on the label above the power connector.
Turn off the power at the switchboard before
beginning the installation.
Fire or electrical shock can result if the power is left on.
DO NOT install the equipment where normal operation of
the vessel may be hindered or where it could cause bodily
injury.
RR
WARNING
DO NOT cut the DC power cable between the DC plug
and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the equipment may be damaged.

2.5.2 Programming scrambler codes
There are 32 codes (1 to 32) available for programming when
the optional FM-3030 is installed. In order to understand one
another, all transceivers in your group must have the same
scramble code. This function may not be available depending on dealer setting.

4. Scan Operation
4.1 Scan Types
Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has Priority scan and
Normal scan.
When the Weather alert function is in use, the selected
weather channel is checked while scanning. (p. 38)
Set the tag channels (scanned channel) before scanning.
Clear the tag channels which inconveniently stop scanning,
such as those for digital communication use.
Note: Choose Priority or Normal scan in Set mode. (p. 38)
NORMAL SCAN
Normal scan, like Priority scan, searches through all tag
channels in sequence. However, unlike Priority scan,
Channel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set as a
tag channel.
PRIORITY SCAN
