This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the condition that this device does not
cause harmful interference.

i
RWARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that
the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the
body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The
transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 2 to 4 in
(5 to 10 cm) away from the lips and the transceiver is verti-
cal.
MAKE SURE the flexible antenna and battery pack are se-
curely attached to the transceiver and that the antenna and
battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside
of the transceiver to water will result in serious damage to the
transceiver.
NEVER allow children to touch the transceiver.
NEVER charge battery packs except in the methods de-
scribed in this manual.
KEEP the transceiver at least 3.3 ft (1 m) away from the
ship’s navigation compass.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with temper-
atures below –4°F (–20°C) or above +140°F (+60°C) or, in
areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they may damage the transceiver
surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver rear panel will become
hot when operating continuously for long periods.
After exposure to saltwater, clean the transceiver thoroughly
with fresh water to avoid corrosion.

BASIC OPERATION 2
4
Inquire through your dealer or the appropriate government
agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license application. This
government-issued license states the call sign which is your
craft’s identification for radio purposes.
(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSE
A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license
most often held by small vessel radio operators when a radio
is not required for safety purposes.
The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must be
posted or kept with the operator. Only a licensed radio opera-
tor may operate a transceiver.
However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a transceiver
if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends the call and
makes the necessary log entries.
Keep a copy of the current government rules and regulations
handy.
■Operating rules
•PRIORITIES
1Read all rules and regulations pertaining to priorities and
keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and distress calls
take priority over all others.
2You must monitor channel 16 when you are not operating
on another channel.
3False or fraudulent distress signals are prohibited and pun-
ishable by law.
•PRIVACY
1Information overheard but not intended for you cannot law-
fully be used in any way.
2Indecent or profane language is prohibited.
•RADIO LICENSES
(1) SHIP STATION LICENSE
You must have a current radio station license before using the
transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship station which is not
licensed.

■Channel selection
DChannel 16
Channel 16 is the distress channel. It is used for establishing
initial contact with another station and for emergency com-
munications. Channel 16 is monitored during dualwatch/
tri-watch. While standing by you are required to monitor chan-
nel 16.
DChannel 9 (Call channels)
Channel 9 is the pleasure call channel. Each regular channel
group has separate call channels. In addition, each call chan-
nel is monitored during tri-watch. The call channels can be
programmed (p. 9) and are used to store your most often-
used channels in each channel group for quick recall.
•Push [16•9] for 1 sec. to select
the call channel of the selected
channel group.
