Durable, water-resistant construction

☞

Built tough to withstand the punishing marine environ­ment, the IC-M45EURO offers reliability you can count
on.

☞ Dual watch and tri-watch functions

Convenient functions which allow you to monitor the dis­tress channel (ch 16) while receiving a channel of your
choice—dual watch; or monitor the distress channel and
another channel while receiving a channel of your
choice—tri-watch.

☞ Large, easy-to-read LCD

With dimensions of 20(H) × 60(W) mm, the IC­M45EURO’s function display is easy to read and shows
operating conditions at a glance. Backlighting and con­trast can be adjusted to suit your preferences.

☞ ‘Smart’ microphone

Operating channel and transmit output power level set­tings are easily selectable via the supplied microphone.

☞ Simple operation

Ergonomic design with a minimum number of switches
and controls provides simple intuitive operation.

CAUTIONS

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an

AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.

RWARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER touch

the antenna or an internal antenna connector during trans­mission. This may result in an electric shock or a burn.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more

than 16 V DC. This connection will ruin the transceiver.

AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or

in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F).

DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the ves-

sel’s engine. When your vessel’s engine is OFF and the
transceiver is transmitting, the vessel’s battery will soon be­come exhausted.

KEEP the transceiver 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 transceiver and microphone at least 1 meter

away from your vessel’s magnetic navigation compass.

If your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels and
the Coast Guard by sending a distress call on channel 16.

❍ USING CHANNEL 16

DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE

1. “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY.”

2. “THIS IS ...........................” (name of vessel)

3. Your call sign or other indication of the ves­sel.

4. “LOCATED AT .....................” (your position)

5. The nature of the distress and assistance re­quired.

6. Any other information which might facilitate
the rescue.

Versions of the IC-M45EURO which display the “CE”
symbol on the serial number seal, comply with the es­sential requirements of the 89/336/EEC directive for
Electromagnetic Compatibility.

OPERATING RULES

1

D Priorities

• 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.

• You must monitor channel 16 when you are not operating
on another channel.

• False or fraudulent distress calls are prohibited under law.

D Privacy

• Information overheard but not intended for you cannot law­fully be used in any way.

• Indecent or profane language is prohibited.

D Radio licenses

SHIP STATION LICENSE

When your craft is equipped with a VHF FM transceiver, 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. This license in­cludes the call sign which is your craft’s identification for radio
purposes.

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 near the transceiver or be 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.

A current copy of the applicable government rules and regu­lations is only required to be on hand for vessels in which a
radio telephone is compulsory. However, even if you are not
required to have these on hand it is your responsibility to be
thoroughly acquainted with all pertinent rules and regulations.

initial contact with another station and for emergency com­munications. Channel 16 is monitored during dual/tri-watch.
While standing by you are required to monitor channel 16.

D Call channel

The call channel is used to store your most often-used chan­nel for quick recall. In addition, the call channel is monitored
during tri-watch. The default setting for the call channel is
channel 16* which is for leisure boat use. A separate call
channel can be set for each channel group (USA and INT).
* The default call channel number is depends on version.

■ Receiving

➀ Rotate [PWR/VOL] to turn power ON.
➁ Rotate [SQUELCH] fully counterclockwise.
➂ Adjust [PWR/VOL] to a suitable listening level.
➃ Rotate [SQUELCH] clockwise until the audio noise disap-

pears.

➄ Select a channel. See pgs. 5–6 for details.

• When a signal is received:

➧ The squelch opens.
➧ Audio is emitted from the speaker.
➧ “BUSY” appears in the function display.

➅ When an interrupting signal is received, rotate [SQUELCH]

deeply clockwise.

D Dual/tri-watch functions

These functions allow you to conveniently check the distress
channel (ch 16) or, both the distress and leisure call channel
(ch 9; programmable) while receiving another channel. When
receiving a signal on one of these channels, the transceiver
stops on the channel until the signal disappears.

Depending on your preference, select dual watch or tri-watch
in advance in SET mode (p. 12). Dual watch is the default
setting.

When dual watch is selected in SET mode:

➥ Push [CH •

BASIC OPERATION

■ Transmitting

Before transmitting, read the call procedures at right.

➀ Select an operating channel. See pgs. 5–6 for details.
➁ Push [H/L] to select a transmit output power.

• “LOW” appears when low output power is selected.

• High power cannot be selected on some channels. Refer to the

channel list on p. 18.

➂ Push and hold the [PTT] switch to transmit.

•“$” appears.

➃ Speak into the microphone at your normal voice level.

• Do not hold the microphone too closely to your mouth or speak to

loudly. This may distort the signal.

➄ Release the [PTT] switch to receive.

IMPORTANT: In order to maximize the readability of

your transmitted signal, pause for a moment after pushing
[PTT], hold the microphone 15–20 cm from your mouth,
then speak into the microphone at an even, normal voice
level.

CALL PROCEDURES

You must identify yourself when you transmit and you must
respect time limits.

1) Give your call sign each time you call another vessel or
a coast station. If you have no call sign, identify the sta­tion by giving the vessel name and the name of the li­cense.

2) Give your call sign at the end of each transmission that
lasts more than 3 minutes.

3) You must pause and give your call sign at least once
every 15 minutes during long ship-to-shore calls.

4) Keep your calls short (less than 3 minutes). Wait 2 min­utes before repeating a call.

■ Scan function

The transceiver has a high speed scan function for standing
by on utility signals. The scan speed is 8 channel/sec. (ex­cept when the weather alert function is in use).

Two scan types are available: normal scan (scans all tag

channels in sequence) and priority scan (checks channel 16
while scanning). These scans can be selected in SET mode
(p. 12).

D Setting tag channels

You can specify channels as tag channels for efficient scan­ning. Tag channels can be set for each channel group (USA,
INT) independently.
➥ Select the desired channel, then push [

sec. to toggle the tag setting.

✔ Clearing all tag channels

While pushing [H/L], push [SCAN • TAG] for 3 sec. until the
long beep becomes 2 short beeps.

■ Antenna

A key element in the performance of any communication sys­tem is an antenna. Ask your Dealer about antennas and the
best places to mount them.

■ Fuse replacement

Two fuses are installed in the supplied DC power cable. If a
fuse blows or the transceiver stops functioning, track down
the source of the problem, if possible, and replace the dam­aged fuse with a new, rated one.

☛ Fuse rating: 10 A

■ Cleaning

If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a
dry, soft cloth.

AVOID the use of solvents such as benzene or al­cohol, as they may damage transceiver surfaces.
