Ground the equipment
To minimize shock hazard, the SAILOR 7224 Control Unit unit and the
SAILOR 7226 VHF Transceiver Unit must be connected to an electrical
ground and the cable instructions must be followed.
RF exposure hazards and instructions
Your Cobham SATCOM radio set generates electromagnetic RF (radio
frequency) energy when transmitting. To ensure that you and those around
you are not exposed to excessive amounts of energy and thus to avoid health
hazards from excessive exposure to RF energy, all persons must be at least
200 cm away from the antenna when the radio is transmitting.
Warranty limitation
IMPORTANT - The radio is not a user maintainable unit, and under no
circumstances should the unit be opened except by authorized personnel.
Unauthorized opening of the unit will invalidate the warranty.
Installation and service
Installation and general service must be done by skilled service personnel.

Cyber security
Cyber risk related to this VHF radio is related to the VHF radio itself.
Installation guidance
Installation must be IMO compliant.
The following mitigation is to be observed:
• Any PC or mobile device connected to the VHF radio must be screened and
confirmed cyber-secure before connected to the VHF radio.
• The service interface must not be exposed directly to the Internet.
• If Internet access to the VHF radio is enabled through the service interface,
this interface must be protected with a network security device such as a
firewall.
•Donot use any connector on the VHF radio for charging mobile devices.
User guidance
The following mitigation is to be observed:
• Software updates and changes in the protected setup menu is only to be
performed by Cobham-authorized personnel.
• The service interface must not be exposed directly to the Internet.
• If Internet access to the VHF radio is enabled, the interface must be
protected with a network security device such as a firewall.
•Donot use any connector on the VHF radio for charging mobile devices.

Preface
Radio for occupational use
The SAILOR 7222 VHF DSC system obeys the requirements of SOLAS and is
intended for use in maritime environment.
SAILOR 7222 VHF DSC system is designed for occupational use only and
must be operated by licensed personnel only.
SAILOR 7222 VHF DSC system is not intended for use in an uncontrolled
environment by general public.
SAILOR 7222 VHF DSC system is designed for installation by a skilled service
person.
Training information
The SAILOR 7222 VHF DSC is designed for occupational use only and is also
classified as such. It must be operated by licensed personnel only. It must
only be used in the course of employment by individuals aware of both the
hazards as well as the way to minimize those hazards.
The radio is thus NOT intended for use in an uncontrolled environment by
general public. The SAILOR 7222 VHF DSC has been tested and complies with
the FCC RF exposure limits for Occupational Use Only. The radio also
complies with the following guidelines and standards regarding RF energy
and electromagnetic energy levels including the recommended levels for
human exposure:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, evaluating compliance with FCC
guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1) IEEE standard for safety
levels with respect to human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3) IEEE recommended
practice for the measurement of potentially hazardous electromagnetic
fields - RF and microwaves.
Below the RF exposure hazards and instructions in safe operation of the radio
within the FCC RF exposure limits established for it are described.

98-171832-A ix
Warning, radiation
Your Cobham SATCOM radio set generates electromagnetic RF (radio frequency)
energy when it is transmitting. To ensure that you and those around you are not
exposed to excessive amounts of that energy (beyond FCC allowable limits for
occupational use) and thus to avoid health hazards from excessive exposure to
RF energy, FCC OET bulletin 65 establishes an Maximum Permissible Exposure
(MPE) radius of 200 cm for the maximum power of your radio (25W selected)
with a half wave omni-directional antenna having a maximum gain of 4 dB. This
means all persons must be at least 200 cm away from the antenna when the
radio is transmitting.
Installation considerations, radiation
1. An omni-directional antenna with a maximum power gain of 4 dB must be
mounted at least 400 cm above the highest deck where people may be
staying during radio transmissions. The distance is to be measured vertically
from the lowest point of the antenna. This provides the minimum separation
distance which is in compliance with RF exposure requirements and is based
on the MPE radius of 200 cm plus the 200 cm height of an adult.
2. On vessels that cannot obey requirements in item 1, the antenna must be
mounted so that its lowest point is at least 3 ft. (0.9 m) vertically above the
heads of people on deck and all persons must be outside the 200 cm MPE
radius during radio transmission.
• Always mount the antenna at least 200 cm from possible human access.
• Never touch the antenna when transmitting
•UseonlyauthorizedCobham SATCOM accessories.
3. If the antenna has to be placed in public areas or near people with no
awareness of the radio transmission, the antenna must be placed at a
distance not less than 200 cm from possible human access.
Failure to observe any of these warnings may cause you or other people to
exceed FCC RF exposure limits or create other dangerous conditions.

Introduction 1
VHF radio with DSC Class A
Exceeding standards set by IMO regulation for GMDSS Class A VHF, the August
2021 introduced Bridge Alert Management IMO resolution MSC.302(87), as well
as IEC 62923-1 & IEC 62923-2, the SAILOR 7222 VHF DSC Class A is a robust
platform for when clear communication could make the difference between a
non-event and a major incident.
As part of the required safety
equipment, use the SAILOR 7222
VHF DSC in an emergency
situation. However the best way to
guarantee functionality in an
emergency situation, is to use the
radio in daily communication on
board.
The VHF radio is a simplex/semi
duplex VHF radio consisting of
two units connected with a
standard Ethernet cable:
• SAILOR 7224 Control Unit
• SAILOR 7226 VHF Transceiver
Unit
It is designed with an easy-to-use menu-driven setup. You use the touch screen
on the SAILOR 7224 Control Unit or a connected device with a browser to enter
the desired functions. You can also select channels using the rightmost selection
knob. The large display can be customized for optimum readability and visibility
both day and night with different color themes.
The VHF radio can replay 480 seconds of received voice messages. This is a
useful feature to minimize misunderstandings and to record messages when the
radio is unattended.
With SAILOR connection boxes the VHF radio connects easily to external
equipment like a BAM system, additional handsets, water proof hand
microphones, control speaker microphone, alarm panel or external speaker. The

VHF radio with DSC Class A
2 Chapter 1: Introduction 98-171832-A
Ethernet interface connects the Control Unit with the Transceiver Unit, and
enables the VHF radio to be connected to other units in a local network. Instead
of the touch screen on the Control Unit, you can also connect a PC or other
device with a browser for setup and control via the web interface.
For a list of accessories available for the VHF radio see Accessories available on
page 4 and check with your nearest distributor.
Controls on the front plate of the Control Unit
1. Loudspeaker.
2. Large 5.5” TFT display with capacitive multi touch.
3. Volume control, on/off and Squelch control.
4. Distress button for sending a Distress alert.
5. Channel selector and dim knob with push-function to switch between
channel selection and dimming.
