3. ABOUT THIS RADIO
ApplicationforFCC/IC
FCCID:K6630393X20
IC:511B-30393X20
3.1 ABOUT THE VHF MARINE BAND
The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 162
MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that
are essentially “Line of sight” Actual transmission range depends much more
on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter.
On a xed mount 25 W radio transmission expected distances can be greater
than 15 miles, for a portable 5 W radio transmission the expected distance
can be greater than 5 miles in “Line of sight”.
The user of a Marine VHF radio is subject to severe nes if the radio is used
on land. The reasoning for this is you may be near an inland waterway, or
propagation anomalies may cause your transmission to be heard in a waterway. If this occurs, depending upon the marine VHF channel on which you are
transmitting, you could interfere with a search and rescue case, or contribute
to a collision between passing ships. For VHF Marine channel assignments
refer to page 32 section 9.
3.2 ABOUT THE LMR CHANNELS
The HX380 is capable of being programmed with 40 LMR (Land Mobile Radio) channels by a dealer. The frequency range is 134 to 174MHz which may
be setup for 25 kHz (wide) or 12.5 kHz (narrow) channel stepping with CTCSS
and DCS signaling. Contact your dealer for further details.
3.3 ABOUT WATER RESISTANCE
Water resistance of the transceiver is ensured only when the battery pack is
attached to the transceiver and MIC/SP cap is installed in the MIC/SP jack.
3.4 EMERGENCY (CHANNEL 16 USE
Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency may be
dened as a threat to life or property. In such instances, be sure the transceiver is on and set to “Channel 16”. Then use the following procedure:
1. Press the PTT (Push-To-Talk:
day. This is _____, _____, _____” (your vessel’s name).
2. Then repeat once: “Mayday, _____” (your vessel’s name).
3. Now report your position in latitude/longitude, or by giving a true or magnetic bearing (state which) to a well-known landmark such as a navigation aid
or geographic feature such as an island or harbor entry.
4. Explain the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, re, heart
attack, life-threatening injury, etc.).
5. State the kind of assistance your desire (pumps, medical aid, etc.).
6. Report the number of persons aboard and condition of any injured.

IC:511B-30393X20
8. Give your vessel’s description: length, design (power or sail), color and other distinguishing marks. The total transmission should not exceed 1 minute.
9. End the message by saying “OVER”. Release the PTT
( )
switch and lis-
ten.
10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no response, try another channel.
3.5 CALLING ANOTHER VESSEL (CHANNEL 16 OR 9
)
Channel 16 may be used for initial contact (hailing) with another vessel.
However, its most important use is for emergency messages. This channel
must be monitored at all times except when actually using another channel.
It is monitored by the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards and by other vessels.
Use of channel 16 for hailing must be limited to initial contact only. Calling
should not exceed 30 seconds, but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals. In areas of heavy radio traffic, congestion on channel 16 resulting
from its use as a hailing channel can be reduced signicantly in U.S. waters
by using Channel 9 as the initial contact (hailing) channel for non-emergency
communications. Also hailing on channel 9, the calling time should not exceed
30 seconds but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals.
Prior to making contact with another vessel, refer to the channel charts in this
manual, and select an appropriate channel for communications after initial contact. For example, Channels 68 and 69 of the U.S. VHF Charts are some of the
channels available to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. Monitor your desired channel in advance to make sure you will not be interrupting o
ther trafc,
and then go back to either channel 16 or 9 for your initial contact.
When the hailing channel (16 or 9) is clear, state the name of the other vessel
you wish to call and then “this is” followed by the name of your vessel and
your Station License (Call Sign). When the other vessel returns your call, immediately request another channel by saying “go to”, the number of the other
channel, and “over”. Then switch to the new channel. When the new channel
is not busy, call the other vessel.
After a transmission, say “over”, and release the PTT (Push-To-Talk: )
switch. When all communication with the other vessel is completed, end the
last transmission by stating your Call Sign and the word “out”. Note that it is
not necessary to state your Call Sign with each transmission, only at the beginning and end of the contact.
Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel.

3.7 OPERATING ON CHANNEL 67
When channel 67 is used for navigational bridge-to-bridge traffic between
ships, High power may be used temporarily (in the USA band) by pressing the
key. When release the PTT switch, the transceiver will revert to low pow-
er.
3.8 SIMPLEX/DUPLEX CHANNEL USE
Refer to the VHF MARINE CHANNEL CHART (page 32) for instructions on
use of simplex and duplex channels.
NOTE
All channels are factory-programmed in accordance with FCC, Industry
Canada, and International regulations. The mode of operation cannot be
altered from simplex to duplex or vice-versa. Simplex (ship to ship) or duplex (marine operator) mode is automatically activated, depending on the
channel and whether the USA, Canadian or International operating band
is selected.

IC:511B-30393X20
If the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be
charged by connecting the CD-48 Charger Cradle with the SAD-11B Battery
Charger, as shown in the illustration. If 12V DC power is available, the supplied E-DC-19A DC Cable with 12 V Cigarette Lighter Plug may be used for
charging the battery. The SAD-11B and E-DC-19A will charge a completely
discharged FNB-V105LI battery pack in approximately 3 hours.
The FNB-V105LI is a high performance Li-Ion battery providing high capacity
in a compact package.
CAUTION
To avoid risk of explosion and injury, FNB-V105LI battery pack should
only be removed, charged or recharged in non-hazardous environments.
4.3.1 BATTERY SAFETY
Battery packs for your transceiver contain Li-Ion batteries. This type of battery stores a charge powerful enough to be dangerous if misused or abused,
especially when removed from the transceiver. Please observe the following
precautions:
DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS: Shorting the terminals that
power the transceiver can cause sparks, severe overheating, burns, and battery cell damage. If the short is of sufcient duration, it is possible to melt battery components. Do not place a loose battery pack on or near metal surfaces
or objects such as paper clips, keys, tools, etc. When the battery pack is installed on the transceiver, the terminals that transfer current to the transceiver
are not exposed. The terminals that are exposed on the battery pack when it
is mounted on the transceiver are charging terminals only and do not constitute a hazard.
DO NOT INCINERATE: Do not dispose of any battery in a re or incinerator.
The heat of re may cause battery cells to explode and/or release dangerous
gases.
Battery Maintenance
For safe and proper battery use, please observe the following:
Battery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environments;
Use only STANDARD HORIZON-approved batteries;
Use only a STANDARD HORIZON approved charger. The use of any other
charger may cause permanent damage to the battery.
Follow charging instructions provided with the chargers.
Keep the battery contacts clean and dry.

Battery Storage
ApplicationforFCC/IC
FCCID:K6630393X20
IC:511B-30393X20
Store the batteries in a cool place to maximize storage life. Since batteries are
subject to self-discharge, avoid high storage temperatures that cause large
self-discharge rates. After extended storage, a full recharge is recommended.
Battery Recycling
DO NOT PLACE USED BATTERIES IN YOUR REGULAR TRASH!
LI-ION BATTERIES MUST BE COLLECTED, RECYCLED OR DISPOSED
OF IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND MANNER.
The incineration, land lling or mixing of Li-Ion batteries with the municipal solid waste stream is PROHIBITED BY LAW in most areas.
Return batteries to an approved Li-Ion battery recycler. This may be where
