Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may
only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser)
gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated
power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent
émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et
d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par
| V60 User Guide
Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir
le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépassepas l’intensité nécessaire à
l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.
This radio transmitter (V60) has been approved by Industry Canada
to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum
permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna
type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain
greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly
prohibited for use with this device.
Le présent émetteur radio (V60) a été approuvé par Industrie
Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d’antenne énumérés cidessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l’impédance requise
pour chaque type d’antenne. Les types d’antenne non inclus dans
cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué,
sont strictement interdits pour l’exploitation de l’émetteur.

Trademarks
!
B&G® and Navico® are registered trademarks of Navico.
NMEA® and NMEA 2000® are registered trademarks of the National
Marine Electronics Association.
Navico recommends that you check the radio operating licensing
requirements of your country before using this VHF radio. The
operator is solely responsible for observing proper radio installation
and usage practices.
Notes on MMSI and DSC
The user MMSI (Marine Mobile Service Identity) is a unique nine
digit number. It is used on marine transceivers that are capable of
using DSC (Digital Selective Calling). Digital Selective Calling offers
significant safety and convenience advantages over older VHF radios
without this functionality.
¼ Note: Many countries do not have radio repeaters that support DSC
message relaying. However DSC can still be useful for direct ship-toship communication, where the other vessel is also equiped with a
DSC capable radio.
You must obtain a user MMSI and enter it into your radio in order to
use the DSC functions. Contact the appropriate authorities in your
country to obtain an MMSI number - charges may apply. If you are
unsure who to contact, consult your B&G dealer.
¼ Note: DSC distress calls generated by this radio are limited to the
same range restrictions that apply to regular VHF transmissions. The
vessel sending a distress can only rely upon DSC if within range of a
GMDSS Coast Radio Station. Typical VHF range may be about 20NM,
though this varies greatly depending upon installation, antenna
type, meteorological conditions, etc.
About this manual

VHF radio. Important text that requires special attention from the
reader is emphasized as follows:
¼ Note: Used to draw the reader’s attention to a comment or some
important information.
Warning: Used when it is necessary to warn personnel that
they should proceed carefully to prevent risk of injury and/or
damage to equipment/personnel.
