IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

If your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels and the Coast Guard by sending a distress call on Ch 16.

USING CHANNEL 16

DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE

1.“MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY.”

2.“THIS IS ...............” (name of vessel)

3.Your call sign or other indication of the vessel (AND 9- digit DSC ID if you have one).

4.“LOCATED AT ...............” (your position)

5.The nature of the distress and assistance required.

6.Any other information which might facilitate the rescue.

Or, transmit your distress call using digital selective calling on Ch 70.

USING DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (Ch 70)

DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE

1.While lifting up the switch cover, push and hold [DISTRESS] for 5 sec. until you hear 5 short beeps change to one long beep.

2.Wait for an acknowledgment from a coast station.

• Channel 16 is automatically selected.

3.Push and hold [PTT], then transmit the appropriate information as at above.

NOTE

A WARNING STICKER is supplied with the transceiver.

To comply with FCC regulations, this sticker must be affixed in such a location as to be readily seen from the operating controls of the radio as in the diagram below. Make sure the chosen location is clean and dry before applying the sticker. (p. viii)

EXAMPLE

CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER AND MICROPHONE THOROUGHLY WITH FRESH WATER after exposure to water including salt water, otherwise, the keys and switches may become inoperable due to salt crystallization.

BE CAREFUL!

R SAFTY INSTRUCTION

For the operator

R CAUTION

Do not open the equipment.

Only qualified personal should work inside the equipment.

Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.

Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result.

Turn off the power immediately if waterleaks into the equipment or the equipment is emmitting smoke or fire.

Continued use of the equipment can cause fire or electrical shock.

Any repair work must be done by a licensed radio technician.

Improper repair work can cause electrical shock or fire.

R CAUTION

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 alcohol when cleaning, as they may damage the transceiver surfaces.

Distances at which radiation levels of 100 and 10 W/m2 exist are given in the table.

Distance to	Distance to
100 W/m2 point	10 W/m2 point
0.12 m	0.39 m

	For the installer
R WARNING	R WARNING

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.

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.

R CAUTION

Ground the equipment to prevent electrical shock and mutual interference.

Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent interference to a magnetic compass:

2.5 Optional Voice Scrambler Operation

2.5.1 Activating the Scrambler

The optional Voice scrambler provides private communications. In order to receive or send scrambled transmissions you must first activate the Scrambler function. To activate the function, an optional FM-3030 is necessary. See p. 40 for setting the scrambler unit. Ask your dealer for details.

Note: The Scrambler function automatically turns OFF when Channel 16 or 70 is selected.

q Select an operating channel other than Channel 16 or 70.

wWhile pushing [HI/LO], push [LO/DX] ( IC SCR ) to turn the optional Scrambler function ON.

eTo turn the Scrambler function OFF, repeat step w.

• “SC” disappears.

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.

q Turn power OFF.

w While pushing [16] ( 9 ), turn power ON to enter Set mode. e After the display appears, release [16] ( 9 ).

rPush [16] ( 9 ) one or more times to select the scrambler code.

3. Dualwatch/Tri-Watch

3.1 Description

Dualwatch monitors Channel 16 while you are receiving another channel; Tri-watch monitors Channel 16 and call channel while receiving another channel.

DUALWATCH/TRI-WATCH SIMULATION

Call channel

Dualwatch

Tri-watch

•If a signal is received on Channel 16, Dualwatch/Tri-watch pauses on Channel 16 until the signal disappears.

•If a signal is received on call channel during Tri-watch, Tri-watch becomes Dualwatch until the signal disappears.

•To transmit on the selected channel during Dualwatch/Tri-watch, push and hold [PTT].

3.2 Operation

q Select Dualwatch or Tri-watch in Set mode. (p. 38) w Select the desired operating channel.

ePush [CH/WX] ( DW U/I/C ) for 1 sec. to start Dualwatch or Tri-watch.

•“DUAL” appears during Dualwatch; “TRI” appears during Triwatch.

•A beep tone sounds when a signal is received on Channel 16. r To cancel Dualwatch or Tri-watch, push [CH/WX] ( DW U/I/C )

again.

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)

PRIORITY SCAN

	CH 01	CH 02
CH 06	CH 16	CH 03
	CH 05	CH 04

Priority scan searches through all tag channels in sequence while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is detected on Channel 16, scan pauses until the signal disappears; when a signal is detected on a channel other than Channel 16, scan becomes Dualwatch until the signal disappears.

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

CH 01	CH 02
CH 06	CH 03
CH 05	CH 04

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.

4.Scan Operation

4.2 Setting Tag Channels

For more efficient scanning, add desired channels as tag channels or clear tag channels for unwanted channels. Channels not tagged will be skipped during scanning. Tag channels can be assigned to each channel group (U.S.A., International, Canada) independently.

qWhile pushing [HI/LO], push [CH/WX] ( DW U/I/C ) one or more times to select the desired channel group.

w Select the desired channel to be set as a tag channel.

ePush [SCAN] ( TAG ) for 1 sec. to set the displayed channel as a tag channel.

• “TAG” appears in the display.

rTo cancel the tag channel setting, repeat step e.

• “TAG” disappears.

Convinient: Clearing (setting) all tagged channels

While pushing [HI/LO], push [SCAN] ( TAG ) for 3 sec. (until a long beep changes to 2 short beeps) to clear all tag channels setting in the channel group.

•Repeat above procedure to set all tag channels.

4.3 Starting a Scan

Set scan type (Priority or Normal scan) and scan resume timer in advance using Set mode. (p. 38)

q Set tag channels as described at left.

w Make sure the squelch is closed to start a scan.

eWhile pushing [HI/LO], push [CH/WX] ( DW U/I/C ) one or more times to select the channel group, if desired.

rPush [SCAN] to start Priority or Normal scan.

•“Pri Scan 16” or “Normal Scan” appears in the function display.

•When a signal is detected, scan pauses until the signal disappears or resumes after pausing 5 sec. according to Set mode setting. (Channel 16 is still monitored during Priority scan.)

•Rotate [CHANNEL] to check the scanning tag channels, to change the scanning direction or resume the scan manually.

•“16” blinks and a beep tone sounds when a signal is received on Channel 16 during Priority scan.

t To stop the scan, push [SCAN].
