NOTE
i
Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock
may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.
Recommended for optimum use. No risk of
personal injury, fire or electric shock.
body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The
transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm
away from the lips, and the transceiver is vertical.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source other
than the BP-215L. Such a connection will ruin the transceiver.
NEVER charge battery packs except in the methods
described in this manual.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –15°C or above +55°C.
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or alco-
hol when cleaning, as they may damage the transceiver surfaces.
After exposure to saltwater, clean the transceiver thoroughly with fresh water to avoid corrosion.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver rear panel will become
hot when operating continuously for long periods.
BE CAREFUL! The IC-M1EURO V employs waterproof
construction, which corresponds to JIS waterproof specification, grade 7 (1 m/30 min.). However, once the transceiver
has been dropped, waterproofing cannot be guaranteed due
to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, etc.
MAKE SURE the flexible antenna and battery pack are
securely attached to the transceiver, and that the antenna and
battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside
of the transceiver to water will result in serious damage to the
transceiver.
KEEP the transceiver at least 0.9 m away from the ship’s
navigation compass.
KEEP the transceiver out of the reach of children.
If your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels and
the Coast Guard by sending a distress call on channel 16;

OPERATING RULES
1
DD
PRIORITIES
q Read all rules and regulations pertaining to priorities, and
keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and distress calls
take priority over all others.
w You must monitor channel 16 when you are not operating
on another channel.
e False or fraudulent distress signals are prohibited and pun-
ishable by law.
DD
PRIVACY
q Information overheard, but not intended for you, cannot
lawfully be used in any way.
w Indecent or profane language is prohibited.
DD
RADIO LICENSES
(1) SHIP STATION LICENSE
You must have a current radio station license before using the
transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship station which is not
licensed.
Inquire through your dealer or the appropriate government
agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license application. This
government-issued license states the call sign which is your
craft’s identification for radio purposes.
(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSE
A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license
most often held by small vessel radio operators when a radio
is not required for safety purposes.
The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must be
posted or kept with the operator. Only a licensed radio operator may operate a transceiver.
However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a transceiver
if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends the call and
makes the necessary log entries.
Keep a copy of the current government rules and regulations
handy.

order to understand one another, all transceivers in your
group must have the same scramble code, as well as the

SCAN OPERATIONS
■ Scan types
Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has priority scan and
normal scan.
In addition, weather alert and an automatic scan start function is available for standby convenience.
PRIORITY SCAN
CH 01
WX*
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.
CH 16
(pgs. 17, 18)
CH 02
CH 03
Set the tag channels (scanned channel) before scanning. (Clear
the tag channels which may inconveniently stop scanning, such as
those for digital communication use.)
Choose priority or normal scan in SET mode. (p. 17)
NORMAL SCAN
CH 01 CH 02
CH 88
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

■ About the channel comment
The IC-M1EURO V has a capability to assign up to 10-character channel comments for each operating channel, including the weather channel. This provides easy recognition of
channel usage, or station names, etc.
When shipped from the factory, the IC-M1EURO V is programmed with default comments for each VHF marine channel. These defaults can be overwritten if desired.

BATTERY CHARGING
■ Caution
NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas
may cause an explosion.
NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack
becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry immediately
the battery terminals) BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver.
Otherwise, the terminals will become corroded, or cause connection failure, etc.
NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, current
may flow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace, etc.
Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing near
metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc.
AVOID leaving the battery pack in a fully charged, or completely discharged condition for long time. It causes shorter
battery life. In case of leaving the battery pack unused for a
long time, it must be kept safely after discharge, or use the
battery until the battery indicator shows the middle level, then
remove it from the transceiver.
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after
being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power
ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the
battery pack still does not retain a charge
battery pack must be purchased.

■ Battery charging
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn it OFF
while charging.
• Recommended temperature range for charging:
+10°C to +40°C
• Use the supplied charger

Recommendation:
Charge the supplied battery pack for a maximum of
up to 10 hours. Li-Ion batteries are different from NiCd batteries in that it is not necessary to completely
charge and discharge them to prolong the battery life.
Therefore, charge the battery in intervals, and not for
extended periods is recommended.

PROBLEM
No power comes ON.
No sound comes from
the speaker
Transmitting is impossible, or high power cannot be selected.
The displayed channel
cannot be changed.
Scan does not start.
Scan starts automatically.
No beep sounds.
Receive signal cannot
be understood.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
• The battery is exhausted.
• Bad connection of the battery pack.
• Squelch level is too deep.
• [VOL] level is too low.
• Some channels are for low power or
receive only.
• The battery is exhausted.
• The output power is set to low or extra
low.
• Lock function is activated.
•“TAG” channel is not programmed.
• Auto scan function is activated.
• Beep tone is turned OFF.
• Optional voice scrambler is turned OFF.
• Scramble code is not set correctly.
SOLUTION
• Recharge the battery pack.
• Check the connection to the transceiver.
• Set squelch to the threshold point.
• Set [VOL] to a suitable level.
• Change channels.
• Recharge the battery pack.
• Push [H/L] to select high power.
• Push [H/L•LOCK] for 2 sec. to cancel the
lock function.
• Set the desired channels as “TAG ” channels.
• Cancel the auto scan function in SET
mode.
• Turn the beep tone ON in SET mode.
• Turn the optional voice scrambler ON.
• Reset the scramble code.
