Installation

Caution:The MC-8000 DSC will only operate with a nominal 12 volt negative ground battery

system.

It is important to carefully determine the most suitable location for your radio on your vessel. Electrical, mechanical, and environmental considerations must all be taken into account. You should select the optimum relationship among these considerations.

Keep in mind the flexibility designed into the MC-8000 DSC so that you can most conveniently use it. Features which should be considered are:

1. The universal mounting bracket may be installed on either the top or bottom of a shelf, on a bulkhead, or for overhead mounting.

2. The REMOTE speaker wires can be used with an auxiliary speaker.

3. All connections are “plug-in” type for easy removal of the radio.

Choosing a Location

Some important factors to consider in selecting the location for your MC-8000 DSC.

1. Select a location that is free from spray and splash.

2. Keep the battery leads as short as possible. Direct connection to the battery is most desirable.

3. Keep the antenna lead as short as possible. Long antenna leads can cause substantial loss of performance for both receiving and transmitting.

4. Locate your antenna as high as possible and clear from metal objects. The reliable range of coverage is a direct function of the antenna height.

5. Select a location that allows free air flow around the heat sink on the rear of the radio.

6. Select a location well away from the ship’s compass. Auxiliary speakers also should be located away from the compass.

Engine Noise Suppression

Interference from the noise generated by the electrical systems of engines is sometimes a problem with radios. The MC-8000 DSC has been designed to be essentially impervious to ignition noise and alternator noise. However, in some installations it may be necessary to take measures to further reduce the effect of noise interference. All DC battery wires, antenna lead, and accessory cables should be routed away from the engine and engine compartment, and from power cabling carrying high currents.

Installing the MC-8000 DSC

After you have carefully considered the various factors affecting your choice of location, position the radio (with the bracket, microphone, power cord, antenna and any auxiliary cables installed) into the selected location to assure there is no interference with the surrounding items. Mark the location of the mounting bracket. Remove the bracket from the radio and use it as a template to mark the holes to be drilled for the mounting hardware. Drill the holes and mount the bracket with hardware compatible with the material of the mounting surface.

Note: This HEXAGON HEAD BOL T is only for mounting the bracket

with hardware. Do not use it for installing the radio in the mounting bracket.

Connect the red wire of the supplied power cord to the positive (+) battery supply. Connect the black wire of the power cord to the negative (-) battery supply. The power cord is equipped with a fuse to protect the radio. Use only a six (6) ampere fast blow fuse for replacement. Connect the power cord to the keyed connector on the power “pigtail”.

Connect the antenna and all other auxiliary cables and accessories.

Install the radio in the mounting bracket and connect all cables and accessories to the appropriate jacks and connectors.

Note: Do not use any other mounting knobs than the ones en-

closed. Do not insert the knobs without attaching the bracket.

Operation

Power On/Off

Turn the unit On by rotating the PWR/VOL control clockwise. Adjust the volume to a comfortable level. When you turn the unit On, you will hear a beep, and the greet-

ing message below appears on the LCD for 3 seconds.

Note: When you turn On the radio for the first time after purchase, the channel 16 will

appear on the LCD.

Last Channel Memory

The MC-8000 DSC memorizes the last channel selected before you turn Off the radio. For example, if you turn Off the radio on CH 12, it will be on that channel when turned back On.

Note: In order for the last channel to be memorized, you must have the radio on that

channel for 3 seconds.

Squelch

Turn SQUELCH fully clockwise. This raises the “Squelch Gate” so high that only very strong signals can get through.

Turn SQUELCH fully counterclockwise until you hear a hiss. This lowers the “Squelch Gate” so that everything gets through - noise, weak signals, and strong signals.

Turn SQUELCH back clockwise until the hiss stops. Now the “Squelch Gate” allows only strong signals through.

Channel 16/Channel 9 Communications

T o access Channel 16 or Channel 9 communications, press 16/9/TRI. You can access 16 CH instantly while tuned to another channel. Press 16/9/TRI again for Channel 9 Calling commu-

nications. Press 16/9/TRI a third time to return to the channel selected prior to accessing Channel 16/Channel 9 communications.

The display will indicate the selected channel. To cancel Channel 16/Channel 9 communications:

• Press 16/9/TRI until the previous channel setting appears.

Triple Watch

Triple Watch monitors Channel 16, Channel 9, and the current Marine Channel. To activate Triple Watch, press and hold 16/9/TRI for 2 seconds.

TR I appears on the LCD, indicating Triple Watch mode is in effect. If a signal is received on either Channel 16 or Channel 9, the radio remains on that channel until the signal ends.

Press and hold 16/9/TRI for 2 seconds to cancel the Triple W atch mode.

Note: While in Triple Watch mode, you can change the cur-
