EXPLICIT DEFENITIONS

WORD DEFINITION

RWARNINGPersonal �njury, f�re hazard or electr�c shock may occur.

CAUTION Equ�pment damage may occur.

NOTEIf d�sregarded, �nconven�ence only. No r�sk of personal �njury, fire or electr�c shock.

CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER AND MICROPHONE THOR-OUGHLY WITH FRESH WATER after exposure to water �nclud�ng salt, otherw�se, the keys and sw�tch may become �noperable due to salt crystall�zat�on.

��

IN CASE OF EMERGENCYIf your vessel requ�res ass�stance, contact other vessels and the Coast Guard by send�ng a D�stress call on Channel 16.

USING CHANNEL 16DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE1. “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY.”2. “THIS IS ...............” (name of vessel).3. Say your call s�gn or other �nd�cat�on of the vessel (AND

9-d�g�t DSC ID �f you have one).4. “LOCATED AT ...............” (your pos�t�on).5. State the nature of the d�stress and ass�stance requ�red.6. G�ve any other �nformat�on wh�ch m�ght fac�l�tate the

rescue.

Or, transm�t your D�stress call us�ng d�g�tal select�ve call�ng on Channel 70.

USING DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (Ch 70)DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE1. Wh�le l�ft�ng up the key cover, push and hold [DISTRESS]

for 5 sec. unt�l you hear 5 short beeps change to one long beep.

2. Wa�t for an acknowledgment on Channel 70 from a coast stat�on.

• After the acknowledgement �s rece�ved, Channel 16 �s auto-mat�cally selected.

3. Push and hold [PTT], then transm�t the appropr�ate �nformat�on as l�sted above.

INSTALLATION NOTEThe �nstallat�on of th�s equ�pment should be made �n such a manner as to respect the EC recommended electromagnet�c field exposure l�m�ts (1999/519/EC).

The max�mum RF power ava�lable from th�s dev�ce �s 25 watts. The antenna should be �nstalled as h�gh as poss�-ble for max�mum eff�c�ency and that th�s �nstallat�on he�ght should be at least 5 meters above ground (or access�ble) level. In the case where an antenna cannot be �nstalled at a reasonable he�ght, then the transm�tter should ne�ther be cont�nuously operated for long per�ods �f any person �s w�th�n 5 meters of the antenna, nor operated at all �f any person �s touch�ng the antenna.

In all cases any poss�ble r�sk depends on the transm�tter be�ng act�vated for long per�ods. (actual recommendat�on l�m�ts are spec�fied as an average of 6 m�nutes) Normally the transm�tter �s not act�ve for long per�ods of t�me. Some rad�o l�censes w�ll requ�re that a t�mer c�rcu�t automat�cally cuts the transm�tter after 1–2 m�nutes etc.

S�m�larly some types of transm�tter, SSB, CW, AM, etc. have a lower ‘average’ output power and the perce�ved r�sk �s even lower.

RWARNING! NEVER connect the transce�ver to an AC outlet. Th�s may pose a fire hazard or result �n an electr�c shock.

NEVER connect the transce�ver to a power source of more than 16 V DC or use reverse polar�ty. Th�s w�ll ru�n the trans-ce�ver.

NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug at the back of the transce�ver and fuse holder. If an �ncorrect connect�on �s made after cutt�ng, the transce�ver may be damaged.

NEVER place the transce�ver where normal operat�on of the vessel may be h�ndered or where �t could cause bod�ly �njury.

KEEP the transce�ver at least 1 m away from the sh�p’s nav�gat�on compass.

DO NOT use or place the transce�ver �n areas w�th tem-peratures below –20°C or above +60°C or, �n areas subject to d�rect sunl�ght, such as the dashboard.

DO NOT use chem�cal agents such as benz�ne or alcohol when clean�ng, as they may damage the transce�ver sur-faces. If the transce�ver becomes dusty or d�rty, w�pe �t clean w�th a soft, dry cloth.

BE CAREFUL! The transce�ver rear panel w�ll become hot when operat�ng cont�nuously for long per�ods.

Place the transce�ver �n a secure place to avo�d �nadvertent use by ch�ldren.

BE CAREFUL! The transce�ver and the opt�onal HM-162E commandmic iii™ employ waterproof construct�on, wh�ch corresponds to IPX8 of the �nternat�onal standard IEC 60529 (2001). However, once the transce�ver or m�crophone has been dropped, waterproofing cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that the case may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, etc.

Icom opt�onal equ�pment �s des�gned for opt�mal perform-ance when used w�th th�s transce�ver. We are not respon-s�ble for the transce�ver be�ng damaged or any acc�dent caused when us�ng non-Icom opt�onal equ�pment.

PRECAUTIONS

1OPERATING RULES

D PRIORITIES• Read all rules and regulat�ons perta�n�ng to pr�or�t�es and

keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and D�stress calls take pr�or�ty over all others.

• You must mon�tor Channel 16 when you are not operat�ng on another channel.

• False or fraudulent d�stress s�gnals are proh�b�ted and pun-�shable by law.

D PRIVACY• Informat�on overheard but not �ntended for you cannot law-

fully be used �n any way.

• Indecent or profane language �s proh�b�ted.

D RADIO LICENSES(1) SHIP STATION LICENSEYou must have a current rad�o stat�on l�cense before us�ng the transce�ver. It �s unlawful to operate a sh�p stat�on wh�ch �s not l�censed.

Inqu�re through your dealer or the appropr�ate government agency for a Sh�p-Rad�otelephone l�cense appl�cat�on. Th�s government-�ssued l�cense states the call s�gn wh�ch �s your craft’s �dent�ficat�on for rad�o purposes.

(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSEA Restr�cted Rad�otelephone Operator Perm�t �s the l�cense most often held by small vessel rad�o operators when a rad�o �s not requ�red for safety purposes.

The Restr�cted Rad�otelephone Operator Perm�t must be posted or kept w�th the operator. Only a l�censed rad�o op-erator may operate a transce�ver.

However, non-l�censed �nd�v�duals may talk over a trans-ce�ver �f a l�censed operator starts, superv�ses, ends the call and makes the necessary log entr�es.

Keep a copy of the current government rules and regulat�ons handy.
