■Recommendation
CLEAN THE TRANSPONDER THOROUGHLY WITH FRESH WATER after exposure to
saltwater, and dry it before operating. Otherwise, the transponder’s keys, switches and
controllers may become unusable, due to salt crystallization.
LThe DC power cable does not meet IPX7.
NOTE: If the transponder’s waterproof protection appears defective, carefully clean it
with a soft, wet (fresh water) cloth, then dry it before operating.
The transponder may lose its waterproof protection if the case or connector is cracked
or broken, or the transponder has been dropped.
Contact your Icom distributor or your dealer for advice.
■Installation note
Installation:
The installation of this equipment should be made in such a manner as to respect the EC
recommended electromagnetic eld exposure limits. (1999/519/EC)
The maximum RF power available from this device is 2 watts. The antenna should be
installed as high as possible for maximum e󰀩ciency and the installation height should be
at least 0.4 meters above any accessible position. In the case where an antenna cannot
be installed at a reasonable height, then the transmitter should neither be continuously
operated for long periods if any person is within a distance of 0.4 meters of the antenna,
nor operated at all if any person is touching the antenna.
It is recommended that antenna of a maximum gain of 3 dB is used. If higher gain
antenna is required then please contact your Icom distributor for revised installation
recommendations.
Operation:
The exposure to RF electromagnetic eld is only applicable when this device is
transmitting. This exposure is naturally reduced due to the nature of alternating periods of
receiving and transmitting. Keep your transmissions to the minimum necessary.
■About CE and DOC
Hereby, Icom Inc. declares
that the versions of
MA-510TR which have the
“CE” symbol on the product,

iii
■Radio operation warning
Icom requires the radio operator to meet the FCC Requirements for Radio
Frequency Exposure. An omnidirectional antenna with gain not greater
than 9 dBi must be mounted a minimum of 5 meters (measured from the
lowest point of the antenna) vertically above the main deck and all possible
personnel. This is the minimum safe separation distance estimated to meet
all RF exposure compliance requirements. This 5 meter distance is based
on the FCC Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) distance of 3 meters added to
the height of an adult (2 meters) and is appropriate for all vessels.
For watercraft without suitable structures, the antenna must be mounted so as to maintain
a minimum of 1 meter vertically between the antenna, (measured from the lowest point
of the antenna), to the heads of all persons AND all persons must stay outside of the 3
meter MPE radius.
Do not transmit with radio and antenna when persons are within the MPE radius of
the antenna, unless such persons (such as driver or radio operator) are shielded from
antenna eld by a grounded metallic barrier. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance
from the antenna axis that person should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher
than the allowable MPE level set by FCC.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW THOSE WITHIN THE MPE
RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF RADIATION ABSORPTION WHICH EXCEEDS THE
FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RADIO OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE
MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES
DURING RADIO TRANSMISSION. THE RADIO OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT
NO BYSTANDERS COME WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE
EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Determining MPE Radius
THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) RADIUS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED
TO BE A RADIUS OF ABOUT 3M PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE FCC.
THIS ESTIMATE IS MADE ASSUMING THE MAXIMUM POWER OF THE RADIO AND
ANTENNAS WITH A MAXIMUM GAIN OF 9dBi ARE USED FOR A SHIP MOUNTED
SYSTEM.

■Avertissement pour les opérateurs radio
Icom exige que l’opérateur radio se conforme aux exigences de la
FCC en matière d’exposition aux radiofréquences. Une antenne
omnidirectionnelle dont le gain ne dépasse pas 9dBi doit être xée à
une distance minimale de 5 mètres (mesurée depuis le point le plus
bas de l’antenne) verticalement au-dessus du pont principal et de tout
le personnel qui peut s’y trouver. Il s’agit de la distance de sécurité
minimale prévue pour satisfaire aux exigences de conformité en matière d’exposition
aux RF. Cette distance de 5 mètres est établie en fonction de l’exposition maximale
admissible sécuritaire de 3 mètres établie par la FCC, à laquelle on ajoute la hauteur d’un
adulte (2 mètres); cette distance convient pour tous les navires.
Dans le cas des embarcations sans structure convenable, l’antenne doit être xée de
façon à maintenir une distance minimale de 1 mètre verticalement entre cette antenne
(mesurée depuis son point le plus bas) et la tête de toute personne présente; toutes
les personnes présentes doivent se tenir à l’extérieur d’un rayon d’exposition maximale
admissible de 3 mètres.
Ne pas émettre à l’aide de la radio et de l’antenne lorsque des personnes se trouvent à
l’intérieur du rayon d’exposition maximale admissible de cette antenne, à moins que ces
personnes (comme le conducteur ou l’opérateur radio) ne soient protégées du champ
de l’antenne par un écran métallique relié à la masse. Le rayon d’exposition maximale
admissible équivaut à la distance minimale que cette personne doit maintenir entre elle
et l’axe de l’antenne pour éviter une exposition aux RF supérieure au niveau d’exposition
maximale admissible xé par la FCC.
LE NON-RESPECT DE CES LIMITES PEUT CAUSER, POUR LES PERSONNES
SITUÉES DANS LE RAYON D’EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE, UNE
ABSORPTION DE RAYONNEMENT DE RF SUPÉRIEURE À L’EXPOSITION
MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE FIXÉE PAR LA FCC.
L’OPÉRATEUR RADIO EST RESPONSABLE D’ASSURER QUE LES LIMITES
D’EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE SOIENT RESPECTÉES EN TOUT TEMPS
PENDANT LA TRANSMISSION RADIO. L’OPÉRATEUR RADIO DOIT S’ASSURER
QU’AUCUNE PERSONNE PRÉSENTE NE SE SITUE À L’INTÉRIEUR DU RAYON
D’EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE.
Établir le rayon d’exposition maximale admissible
ON ESTIME QUE LE RAYON D’EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE EST
D’ENVIRON 3 M, TEL QUE STIPULÉ DANS LE BULLETIN OET 65 DE LA FCC.
CETTE DISTANCE ESTIMÉE TIENT COMPTE D’UN SYSTÈME INSTALLÉ SUR UN
NAVIRE UTILISANT LA PUISSANCE MAXIMALE DE LA RADIO ET DES ANTENNES
DONT LE GAIN MAXIMAL EST DE 9dBi.
Determining MPE Radius
THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) RADIUS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED
TO BE A RADIUS OF ABOUT 3M PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE FCC.

1OVERVIEW
■About AIS
The Automatic Identication System (AIS) is primarily used for collision-risk management
and navigation safety. It may automatically transmit and receive vessel information, such
as the vessel name, MMSI code, vessel type, position data, speed, course, destination,
and more, depending on the class. Information is exchanged among vessels and/or base
stations on the VHF maritime mobile band. The information helps to identify other nearby
vessels or stations by displaying the received data on a plotter or a radar screen.

■AIS classes
There are 7 types of AIS stations, vessels, base stations, Search and Rescue (SAR),
Aids to Navigation (AtoN), Search and Rescue Transmitter (AIS-SART), Man OverBoard
(MOB), and Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon-AIS (EPIRB-AIS).
There are 2 classes of AIS units, which are installed on vessels, Class A and Class B.
Under the Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS) convention, all SOLAS vessels are required to
install a Class A AIS transponder:
A Class B AIS transponder is designed to be interoperability with Class A units, but not to
impact the Class A network.
Many commercial vessels, and some leisure craft, not classied as requiring a Class A
unit, choose to install a Class B unit to avoid accidents at sea.
