IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

INSTALLATION NOTE

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. Say your call sign or other description of the vessel (AND 9 digit DSC ID if you have one).

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

5. State the nature of the distress and assistance required.

6. Give any other information which might facilitate the rescue.

Or, transmit your Distress call using Digital Selective Calling on Channel 70.

USING DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (Ch 70)

DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE

1. While lifting up the key cover, hold down [DISTRESS] for 3 seconds until you hear 3 short beeps and then one long beep.

2. Wait for an acknowledgment on Channel 70 from a coast station.

• After the acknowledgement is received, Channel 16 is automatically selected.

3. Hold down [PTT], then transmit the appropriate information as listed above.

Installation:

The installation of this equipment should be made in such a manner as to respect the EC recommended electromagnetic

eld exposure limits. (1999/519/EC)

The maximum RF power available from this device is 25 watts. The antenna should be installed as high as possible

for maximum efciency and the installation height should be

at least 1.76 meters above any accessible position. In the case where an antenna cannot be installed at a reasonable height, then the transmitter should neither be continuously operated for long periods if any person is within a distance of 1.76 meters of the antenna, nor operated at all if any person is touching the antenna.

It is recommended that antenna of a maximum gain of 3 dB is used. If higher gain antenna are required then please contact your Icom distributor for revised installation recommendations.

Operation:

The exposure to RF electromagnetic eld is only applicable

when this device is transmitting. This exposure is naturally reduced due to the nature of alternating periods of receiving and transmitting. Keep your transmissions to the minimum necessary.

RADIO OPERATOR WARNING

Icom requires the radio operator to meet the FCC Requirements for Radio Frequency Exposure. An omnidirectional antenna with gain not greater than 9

WARNING

personnel. This is the minimum safe separation distance estimated to meet all RF exposure compliance requirements. This 5 meter distance is based on the FCC Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) distance of 3 meters added to the height of an adult (2 meters) and is appropriate for all vessels.

For watercraft without suitable structures, the antenna must be mounted so as to maintain a minimum of 1 meter vertically between the antenna, (measured from the lowest point of the antenna), to the heads of all persons AND all persons must stay outside of the 3 meter MPE radius.

Do not transmit with radio and antenna when persons are within the MPE radius of the antenna, unless such persons (such as driver

or radio operator) are shielded from antenna eld by a grounded

metallic barrier. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance from the antenna axis that person should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable MPE level set by FCC.

dBi must be mounted a minimum of 5 meters (measured from the lowest point of the antenna) vertically above the main deck and all possible

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW THOSE WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF RADIATION ABSORPTION WHICH EXCEEDS THE FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RADIO OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING RADIO TRANSMISSION. THE RADIO OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS COME WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.

Determining MPE Radius THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) RADIUS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE A RADIUS OF ABOUT 3M PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE FCC. THIS ESTIMATE IS MADE ASSUMING THE MAXIMUM POWER OF THE RADIO AND ANTENNAS WITH A MAXIMUM GAIN OF 9dBi ARE USED FOR A SHIP MOUNTED SYSTEM.

AVERTISSEMENT POUR LES OPÉRATEURS RADIO

AVERTISSEMENT

verticalement au-dessus du pont principal et de tout le personnel qui peut s'y trouver. Il s'agit de la distance de sécurité minimale prévue pour satisfaire aux exigences de conformité en matière d'exposition aux RF. Cette distance de 5 mètres est établie en fonction de l'exposition maximale admissible sécuritaire de 3 mètres établie par

la FCC, à laquelle on ajoute la hauteur d'un adulte (2 mètres); cette

distance convient pour tous les navires.

Dans le cas des embarcations sans structure convenable, l'antenne

doit être xée de façon à maintenir une distance minimale de 1 mètre

verticalement entre cette antenne (mesurée depuis son point le plus

bas) et la tête de toute personne présente; toutes les personnes présentes doivent se tenir à l'extérieur d'un rayon d'exposition

maximale admissible de 3 mètres.

Ne pas émettre à l'aide de la radio et de l'antenne lorsque des personnes se trouvent à l'intérieur du rayon d'exposition maximale admissible de cette antenne, à moins que ces personnes (comme

le conducteur ou l'opérateur radio) ne soient protégées du champ

de l'antenne par un écran métallique relié à la masse. Le rayon d'exposition maximale admissible équivaut à la distance minimale

que cette personne doit maintenir entre elle et l'axe de l'antenne pour éviter une exposition aux RF supérieure au niveau d'exposition

maximale admissible xé par la FCC.

Icom exige que l'opérateur radio se conforme aux exigences de la FCC en matière d'exposition aux radiofréquences. Une antenne omnidirectionnelle dont le gain ne dépasse pas 9dBi doit être

xée à une distance minimale de 5 mètres

(mesurée depuis le point le plus bas de l'antenne)

LE NON-RESPECT DE CES LIMITES PEUT CAUSER, POUR LES PERSONNES SITUÉES DANS LE RAYON D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE, UNE ABSORPTION DE RAYONNEMENT DE RF SUPÉRIEURE À L'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE FIXÉE PAR LA FCC. L'OPÉRATEUR RADIO EST RESPONSABLE D'ASSURER QUE LES LIMITES D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE SOIENT RESPECTÉES EN TOUT TEMPS PENDANT LA TRANSMISSION RADIO. L'OPÉRATEUR RADIO DOIT S'ASSURER QU'AUCUNE PERSONNE PRÉSENTE NE SE SITUE À L'INTÉRIEUR DU RAYON D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE.

Établir le rayon d'exposition maximale admissible ON ESTIME QUE LE RAYON D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE EST D'ENVIRON 3 M, TEL QUE STIPULÉ DANS LE BULLETIN OET 65 DE LA FCC. CETTE DISTANCE ESTIMÉE TIENT COMPTE D'UN SYSTÈME INSTALLÉ SUR UN NAVIRE UTILISANT LA PUISSANCE MAXIMALE DE LA RADIO ET DES ANTENNES DONT LE GAIN MAXIMAL EST DE 9dBi.

OPERATING RULES

D Priorities

• Read all rules and regulations pertaining to call 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

(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 identication 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.

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.

NOTE: Even though the transceiver is capable of operation on VHF marine channels 3, 21, 23, 61, 64, 81, 82 and 83, according to FCC regulations these simplex channels cannot be lawfully used by the general population in USA waters.

AIS RECEIVER

■ About AIS

The Automatic Identication System (AIS) is primarily used for collision-risk management and navigation safety. It automatically transmits and receives vessel information, such as the vessel name, MMSI code, vessel type, position data, speed, course, destination and more. Information is exchanged among the vessels and/or base stations on the VHF maritime mobile band. The information helps to identify other nearby vessels or stations by displaying the received data on a plotter or a radar screen.

Vessel Information

■ AIS Classes

There are 7 types of AIS stations, vessels, base stations, Search and Rescue (SAR), Aids to Navigation (AtoN), Search and Rescue Transmitter (AIS-SART), Man OverBoard (MOB), and Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon-AIS (EPIRB-AIS).

There are 2 classes of AIS units, which are installed on vessels, Class A and Class B.

Under the Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS) convention, all SOLAS vessels, as described below, are required to install a Class A AIS transponder:

• Upwards of 300 gross tonnage engaged on international voyages.

• Passenger vessels, irrespective of size, engaged on international voyages.

• Upwards of 500 gross tonnage not engaged on international voyages.

A Class B AIS transponder is designed to be interoperability with Class A units, but not to impact the Class A network. Many commercial vessels, and some leisure craft, not classied as requiring a Class A unit, choose to install a Class B unit to avoid accidents at sea.

In this menu, you can edit alarm settings for the AIS receiver.

• Alarm

You can turn the collision alarm function ON or OFF.

AIS RECEIVER

• Slow Warn

The GPS receiver calculated COG data of a vessel that is at anchor or drifting is unreliable, and therefore the CPA and TCPA data may not be calculated correctly. If a vessel is anchored in your alarm zone, the unreliable data can cause the collision alarm to sound many times, even if there is no real danger. To prevent this, when the anchored vessel’s SOG is less than this set value, the Slow Warn function assumes that vessel’s COG is xed towards your vessel and an alarm will sound.

z Rotate [CH/ENT] or push [Y]/[Z] to set the value between

0.1 and 4.9 kt (in 0.1 kt steps), or select OFF. (default: 1.0 kt)

NOTE: If other vessels at anchor or drifting come into your alarm zone, the Slow Warn alarm will sound again. Only if the previous vessel disappears from the Danger List (p. 74), and then re-enters the list, can a new Slow Warn or regular alarm sound, depending on the vessels SOG, or CPA and TCPA. The Slow Warn function operates in the same way if your vessel is at anchor and other vessels enter your alarm zone area.
