4 SAFETY / WARNING INFORMATION
This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where
the radio operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure conditions of its passengers and bystanders by maintaining the minimum separation distance of 0.89 m (2.92 feet). Failure to observe these restrictions will
result in exceeding the FCC RF exposure limits.
Antenna Installation:
The antenna must be located at least 0.89 m (2.92 feet) away from passengers in order to comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements.
Lithium Battery:
This radio contains a lithium battery. At the end of the radio’s useful life, under
various state laws, it may be illegal to dispose of a lithium battery into the
municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details
about recycling options and proper disposal.

5 FCC RADIO LICENSE INFORMATION
FURUNO radios comply with the Federal Communication Commission (FCC)
requirements that regulate the Maritime Radio Service.
5.1 STATION LICENSE
An FCC ship station license is no longer required for any vessel traveling in
U.S. waters (except Hawaii) which is less than 20 meters in length. However,
any vessel required to carry a marine radio on an international voyage, carrying an HF single sideband radiotelephone or marine satellite terminal is required to have a ship station license. FCC license forms, including applications for ship (506) and land station licenses can be downloaded via the Internet
at www.fcc.gov/forms. To obtain a form from the FCC, call (888) 225-5322.
5.2 RADIO CALL SIGN
Currently the FCC does not require recreational boaters to have a Ship Radio
Station License. The USCG recommends that you use your boat's registration
number and the state in which it is registered.
5.3 CANADIAN SHIP STATION LICENSING
You may need a license when traveling in Canada. If you do need a license
contact their nearest field office or regional office or write:

6 FCC NOTICE
NOTICE
Unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment may void compliance with FCC Rules. Any change or modification must be approved
in writing by STANDARD HORIZON.
NOTICE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

7 GETTING STARTED
7.1 ABOUT VHF RADIO
The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158
MHz with some shore stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially
“line of sight” (VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as buildings,
hills or trees). Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type,
gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter. On a fixed mount
25 W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles, for
a portable 5 W radio transmission the expected distance can be greater than 5
miles in “line of sight”.
7.2 SELECTING AN ANTENNA
Marine antennas are made to radiate signals equally in all horizontal directions, but not straight up. The objective of a marine antenna is to enhance the
signal toward the horizon. The degree to which this is accomplished is called
the antenna’s gain. It is measured in decibels (dB) and is one of the major
factors in choosing an antenna. In terms of effective radiated power (ERP),
antennas are rated on the basis of how much gain they have over a theoretical
antenna with zero gain. A 3-foot, 3 dB gain antenna represents twice as much
gain over the imaginary antenna.
Typically a 3-foot 3 dB gain stainless steel whip is used on a sailboat mast. The
longer 8-foot 6 dB fiberglass whip is primarily used on powerboats that require
the additional gain.
7.3 COAXIAL CABLE
VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable –
a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cables are specified by their diameters
and construction.
For runs less than 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4-inch in diameter, is a good
choice. For runs over 20 feet but less than 50 feet, the larger diameter RG-8X
or RG-213/U should be used. Cable runs over 50 feet should use RG-8X. For
installation of the connector onto the coaxial cable see the figure below.
To get your coaxial cable through a
fitting and into your boat’s interior, you
may have to cut off the end plug and
reattach it later. You can do this if you
follow the directions that come with the
connector. Be sure to make good soldered connections.

8 INSTALLATION
A
8.1 LOCATION
The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that:
• is far enough from any compass to avoid any deviation in compass reading due to the speaker magnet (see the compass safe distances in the
Safety Instructions)
• provides easy access to the front panel controls and rear connectors
• allows connection to a power source and an antenna
• has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger
• the antenna must be mounted at least three feet from the radio
Note: To insure the radio does not affect the compass or the radio’s performance is not affected by the antenna location, temporarily connect the radio in
the desired location and:
a. Examine the compass to see if the radio causes any deviation.
b. Connect the antenna and key the radio. Check to ensure the radio is
operating correctly by requesting a radio check.
8.2 OPTIONAL MMB-84 FLUSH MOUNT INSTALLATION
1. Make a rectangular template for the flush mount measuring 2.9” H x 8.1”
W (72 x 205 mm).
2. Use the template to mark the location where the rectangular hole is to be
cut. Confirm that the space behind the dash or panel is deep enough to
accommodate the transceiver (at least six inches deep).
There should be at least 1/2 inch between the transceiver's heatsink and
any wiring, cables or structures.
3. Cut out the rectangular hole and insert the transceiver.
4. Fasten the brackets to the sides of the transceiver with the lock washer nut
combination so that the mounting screw base faces the mounting surface.
5. Turn the adjusting screw to adjust the tension so that the transceiver is
tight against the mounting surface.

8.3 OPTIONAL CMP30 REMOTE MIC
The CMP30 Remote MIC permits remote control of the FM-4000’s radio, DSC
and PA/Fog functions. In addition the FM-4000 can operate as a full function
intercom system.
1. Connect the extension cable to the remote MIC eight pin connector on the
rear panel, then tighten the cable nut (See Figure 3).
2. Referring to Figure 3, make a 1.2” (30 mm) hole in the wall, then insert the
extension cable into this hole. Connect the gasket and mounting base to
the extension cable connector using the nut.
3. Drill the four screw holes (approx. 2 mm) on the wall, then install the mounting base to the wall using four screws.
Put the rubber cap onto the nut. The installation is now complete.
NOTE
The routing cable can be cut and spliced, however care needs to be
taken when reconnecting the wires to ensure water integrity.
Before cutting the cable, make sure it is not plugged into the radio. After
cutting you will notice there are the following wires:
Yellow, Green, Brown, Purple, Blue, Green, RedÚ, Shield
Ú The red and shield wires are wrapped in foil. Remove the foil, and
separate the red and shield wires.

8.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
CAUTION
Reverse polarity connections will damage the radio!
Connect the power cord and antenna to the radio. Antenna and power supply
connections are as follows:
1. Mount the antenna at least three feet away from the radio. At the rear of
the radio, connect the antenna cable. It must have a PL259 connector.
2. Connect the red power wire to a 13.8 VDC ±20% power source. Connect
the black power wire to a negative ground.
3. It is advisable to have a certified marine technician check the power output
and the standing wave ratio of the antenna after installation.
