SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL — This
instruction manual contains important oper ating instructions
for the IC-M200.
CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY WITH
FRESH WATER after exposure to saltwater, and dry
it before operating. Otherwise, the transceiver's keys,
switches and controllers may become unusable, due to salt
crystallization.
NOTE: If the transceiver’s waterproof protection appears
defective, carefully clean it with a soft, wet (fresh water)
cloth, then, dry it before operating.
The transceiver may lose its waterproof protection if the
case or connector cover is cracked or broken, or the
transceiver has been dropped.

PRECAUTIONS
R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet.
This may pose a re hazard or result in an electric shock.
R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source
of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This could cause a
re or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER reverse the DC power cable polarity when
connecting to a power source. This could damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC
plug at the back of the transceiver and fuse holder. If an incorrect
connection is made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during a lightning
storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a re or damage the
transceiver. Always disconnect the power souce and antenna before
a storm.
CAUTION: NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of
the vessel may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with temperatures
below –20°C or above +60°C or, in areas subject to direct sunlight,
such as the dashboard.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol to clean
the transceiver, as they will damage the transceiver’s surfaces. If
the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry
cloth.
DO NOT disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver rear panel will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods of time.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver and the hand microphone meet
IPX7 requirements for waterproof protection. However, once the
transceiver or the microphone has been dropped, waterproof
protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to
the transceiver or microphone's case or their waterproof seals.
Keep the transceiver at least 1 m away from the ship’s navigation
compass.

OPERATING RULES
D PRIORITIES
• Read all rules and regulations pertaining to priorities
and keep an up-to-date copy handy. A Distress call
takes priority over all others.
• You must monitor Channel 16 when you are not
operating on another channel.
• False or fraudulent Distress signals are prohibited
and punishable by law.
D PRIVACY
• Information overheard but not intended for you,
cannot lawfully be used for any reason.
• Indecent or profane language is prohibited.
D RADIO LICENSES
(1) SHIP STATION LICENSE
You may require a current radio station license before
using the transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship
station which is not licensed, but required to be.
If required, contact 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 identication 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.
If required, the Restricted Radiotelephone Operator
Permit must be posted or kept with the operator. If
required, 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.
