EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
FEATURES
☞
Class D DSC terminal
The DS-100
VHF DSC CONTROLLER is designed as a
‘Class D DSC terminal unit’ for the IC-M501EURO
VHF
MARINE TRANSCEIVER.
☞Self ID indication
The DS-100 does not function when there is no ID is programmed. Therefore, the ID code should be checked in
the Set-up menu.
INSTALLATION NOTES
In all cases, any possible risk of injury depends on the transmitter being activated for long periods. (actual recommendation limits are specified as an average of 6 minutes) Normally
the transmitter is not active for long periods of time. Some
radio licences will require that a timer circuit automatically turn
the transmitter off after 1 – 2 minutes etc.
WORD DEFINITION
RWARNING
Personal injury, fire hazard or electric
shock may occur.
CAUTION
Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
ii
CAUTIONS
RW ARNING! NEVER connect the controller to an AC
outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
RWARNING NEVER transmit a distress call when
your vessel does not need immediate help. Distress calls can
be used only in times of emergency.
NEVER connect the controller to a power source of more
than 16 V DC. Such a connection will ruin the controller.
NEVER place the controller where normal operation of the
ship may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
NEVER expose the controller to rain, snow or any liquids.
AVOID using or placing the controller in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above +60°C
(+140°F).
KEEP the controller out of the reach of children.
KEEP the antenna cable and DC power cable as far away
as possible from electrical pumps, generators and other electronic instruments to prevent instrument malfunctions.
KEEP the controller and microphone at least 1 meter away
from your vessel’s magnetic navigation compass.
DO NOT operate the controller without running the ves-
sel’s engine. When your vessel’s engine is OFF and the controller is transmitting, the vessel’s battery will soon become
exhausted.
DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzene or alcohol
when cleaning, as they can damage the terminal unit surfaces.
CE Versions of the DS-100 which display the “CE” symbol on
the serial number seal, comply with the essential requirements of the European Radio and Telecommunication Terminal Directive 1999/5/EC.
This warning symbol indicates that this equipment operates in non-harmonised frequency bands and/or may be subject to licensing conditions in the country of use. Be sure to
check that you have the correct version of this radio, or the
correct programming for this radio, to comply with national licensing requirements.
