SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Do not operate the [DISTRESS] key except in case of a life-endangering situation on your vessel.

Operating the [DISTRESS] key transmits the distress alert. Accidental transmission may prevent search and rescue operations for actual emergency. If the distress alert is accidentally transmitted, contact the nearest station to cancel the alert.

If the distress alert is accidentally transmitted, contact the nearest coast station and inform them of the accidental following data:

a) Ship's name b) Ship's call sign and DSC number c) Position at time of transmission d) Time of transmission

Do not apply strong pressure to the LCD, which is made of glass.

Injury can result if the LCD breaks.

3. The audio alarm sounds. Press the CANCEL key to silence the audio alarm.

4. Communicate with the coast station via radiotelephone as below.

a) Say “MAYDAY” three times.

b) Say “This is ...” name of your ship and call sign three times.

c) Give nature of distress and assistance needed.

d) Give description of your ship (type, color, number of persons onboard, etc.).

Note: If you do not receive the distress alert acknowledge call, the equipment automatically retransmits the distress alert after 3 min 30 seconds to 4 min 30 seconds. Then awaits the distress alert acknowledge call. This is repeated until the distress alert is acknowledged.

2) Rotate the ENTER knob to set frequency desired.

3) Push the ENTER knob to close the setting window.

Note: When TX and RX frequencies are different, first enter TX then enter RX.

2.3 Transmission

After selecting the class of emission and frequency, you can transmit by pressing the

PTT switch on the handset.

2.3.1 Transmission procedure

Maximum transmission power is achieved only when the antenna impedance and transmitter impedance match each other. Because the antenna impedance changes with frequency, antenna impedance matching with the transmitter impedance is done with the antenna coupler. The antenna coupler automatically tunes the transmitter to a wide range of different antenna lengths. The available range is;

• Wire antenna 10 to 18 meters long (horizontal part)

• Whip antenna eight meters long (Horizontal feeder is two meters or longer.)

• Whip antenna 10 meters long

To initiate the tuning, do the following:

1. Press the PTT switch on the handset. Tuning is automatically adjusted at first transmission after frequency is changed. For manual tuning, press the 0/TUNE key on the RT screen. If tuning fails, the message "TUNE NG" appears and the output power is automatically set to [LOW] (for FS-1575/2575) or [LOW2] (for FS-

5075).

2. SSB RADIOTELEPHONE

2. Hold the handset close to your mouth, press the PTT switch and speak clearly.

Note: When tuning is initiated in the two control unit system, the screen of the idle control unit shows "OCCUPIED (CONTROLLER 1 (or 2))". In this case, only the

DISTRESS key is operative on the idle control unit.

2.3.2 How to change transmission power

To minimize possible interference to other stations, reduce the transmission power. This should be done when using the transceiver in a harbor, near the shore or close to communication partner (other ship).

1. Rotate the ENTER knob to select [HIGH], [MID], [LOW] (for FS-1575/2575), [LOW1] (for FS-5075) or [LOW2] (for FS-5075) (whichever is displayed), then push the knob.

[LOW] 90 Wpep -

[LOW1] - 200 Wpep

[LOW2] - 110 Wpep

Note: The temperature of the power amplifier is monitored. When its temperature rises above a certain temperature, output power is automatically reduced.

2.3.3 Condition of the transmitter

While transmitting, you can display [IA] (antenna current), [IC] (collector current), [VC] (collector voltage), [RF] (RF output) or [VS] (source voltage) on the RT screen.

1. Rotate the ENTER knob to select [IA], [IC], [VC], [RF] or [VS] (whichever is displayed) then push the knob.

2. Rotate the ENTER knob to select the option desired then push the knob.

Check the transmission power

During transmission, the IA bar deflects according to the current being fed from the antenna coupler to the antenna feeder. The unit of readout is amperes. The antenna current varies with the effective antenna impedance. The reading differs by the frequency and antenna length. The output power is proportional to the square of an antenna current.

Antenna current

2.4 Reception

Check if the class of emission and receiving frequency are set properly. If necessary, set them again referring to sections 2.1 and 2.2.

2.4.1 RF gain (sensitivity) adjustment

In normal use the sensitivity should be set for maximum. If the audio on the received channel is unclear or interfered with other signals, adjust (usually reduce) sensitivity to improve clarity.

Rotate the RF GAIN/PUSH TO ATT knob to adjust gain (sensitivity). The setting value is displayed at the lower left-hand side of the screen, with analog and digital indications.

2.4.2 S-meter

The S-meter shows relative signal strength coming into the receiver front end.

2. SSB RADIOTELEPHONE

2.4.3 Receive AM broadcasting stations

1. If the RT screen is not displayed, press the RT/CH key to display the RT screen.

2. Rotate the ENTER knob to select the current class of emission then push the knob.

3. Rotate the ENTER knob to select [AM] then push the knob (see section 2.1).

4. Rotate the ENTER knob to select [RX] then push the knob.

5. Enter RX frequency with the numeric keys then push the ENTER knob (see "Frequency" in section 2.2).

2.4.4 Noise blanker

The noise blanker removes pulse noise. Press the 2/NB key on the RT screen to turn the noise blanker on and off alternately. When the noise blanker function is active,

is displayed on the RT screen.

2.4.5 Noise reduction

The noise reduction circuit analyzes speech component and noise component, and reduces only noise component. Press the 5/NR key on the RT screen. Each time you press the 5/NR key, the effect of noise reduction changes in the sequence of ([NR2]

2. SSB RADIOTELEPHONE

(High) → [NR1] (Low) → Off). When the noise reduction function is active, or is displayed on the RT screen.

2.4.6 Notch filter

The notch filter removes mixed CW (continuous wave) or beat signal interference. Press the 8/NF key on the RT screen to turn the notch filter on and off alternately.

When the notch filter function is active, is displayed on the RT screen.

2.4.7 Squelch

Squelch on/off

The squelch mutes the audio output in the absence of an incoming signal. Press the 3/SQ key on the RT screen to turn the squelch on and off alternately. When radio noise is too jarring during stand-by condition, it can be muted by activating the squelch.

When the squelch function is active, is displayed on the RT screen.

Squelch frequency

To adjust the squelch frequency, see section 6.4.

2.4.8 Attenuator

The attenuator reduces total gain and prevents saturation. Push the RF GAIN/PUSH TO ATT knob on the RT screen to turn the attenuator on and off alternately. When the

attenuator function is active, is displayed on the RT screen.

2.5 User Channels

The [USER CH] menu provides for registration of user TX and RX channels, where permitted. For further details, contact your dealer. See section 6.2 for the procedure.

FURUNO will assume no responsibility for the disturbance caused by the unlawful or improper setting of user channels.

3. DSC OVERVIEW

3.1 What is DSC?

DSC is an acronym meaning Digital Selective Calling. It is a digital distress and general calling system in the MF and HF bands used by ships for transmitting distress alerts and general calls and by coast stations for transmitting the associated acknowledgements.

For DSC distress, safety and urgency callings in the MF and HF bands, the frequencies are 2187.5, 4207.5, 6312.0, 8414.5, 12577.0, and 16804.5 kHz.

4.1 How to Send Distress Alert

GMDSS ships carry a DSC terminal with which to transmit the distress alert in the event of a life-endangering situation. A coast station receives the distress alert and sends the distress alert acknowledge call to the ship in distress. Then, voice or telex communication between the ship in distress and coast station begins. Transmission of the distress alert and receiving of the distress alert acknowledgement are completely automatic - simply press the DISTRESS key to initiate the sequence.

There are three types of distress alerts; MULTI, SINGLE, AUTO. MULTI is used normally. To use another method, see step 10 in paragraph 4.1.2.

Note: After sending the distress alert, no control unit has priority.

Your ship receives the distress relay when:

• The coast station sends the distress relay to your ship (DISTRESS RELAY INDI-

VIDUAL).

• The coast station sends the distress relay to the area where you are navigating

(DISTRESS RELAY AREA).

When you receive a distress relay message from a coast station, continue monitoring distress and safety frequencies. The audio alarm sounds and the LED flashes in red.
