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.
