VHF MARINE TRANSCEIVER

FOREWORD
Thank you for purchasing this Icom product. The IC-M1EURO V
VHF MARINE TRANSCEIVER is designed and built with Icom’s supe-
rior technology and craftsmanship. With proper care, this prod-
uct should provide you with years of trouble-free operation.
IMPORTANT
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely
before using the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL— This
instruction manual contains important operating instructions
for the IC-M1EURO V.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC
outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
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 5 to 10 cm
away from the lips, and the transceiver is vertical.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source other
than the BP-215L. Such a connection will ruin the transceiver.
NEVER charge battery packs except in the methods
described in this manual.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –15°C or above +55°C.
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or alco-
hol when cleaning, as they may damage the transceiver sur-
faces.
WORD DEFINITION
RWARNING!
CAUTION
NOTE
Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock
may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.
Recommended for optimum use. No risk of
personal injury, fire or electric shock.
CAUTION
i
After exposure to saltwater, clean the transceiver thor-
oughly with fresh water to avoid corrosion.
IC-M1EURO V_3.qxd 03.5.9 17:00 Page b (1,1)

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver rear panel will become
hot when operating continuously for long periods.
BE CAREFUL! The IC-M1EURO V employs waterproof
construction, which corresponds to JIS waterproof specifica-
tion, grade 7 (1 m/30 min.). However, once the transceiver
has been dropped, waterproofing cannot be guaranteed due
to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the water-
proof seal damaged, etc.
MAKE SURE the flexible antenna and battery pack are
securely 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.
KEEP the transceiver at least 0.9 m away from the ship’s
navigation compass.
KEEP the transceiver out of the reach of children.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
If your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels and
the Coast Guard by sending a distress call on channel 16;

OPERATING RULES
DDPRIORITIES
qRead all rules and regulations pertaining to priorities, and
keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and distress calls
take priority over all others.
wYou must monitor channel 16 when you are not operating
on another channel.
eFalse or fraudulent distress signals are prohibited and pun-
ishable by law.
DDPRIVACY
qInformation overheard, but not intended for you, cannot
lawfully be used in any way.
wIndecent or profane language is prohibited.
DDRADIO 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.
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.

■Scan types
Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has priority scan and
normal scan.
In addition, weather alert and an automatic scan start func-
tion is available for standby convenience. (pgs. 17, 18)
Set the tag channels (scanned channel) before scanning. (Clear
the tag channels which may inconveniently stop scanning, such as
those for digital communication use.)
Choose priority or normal scan in SET mode. (p. 17)
5SCAN OPERATIONS
NORMAL SCAN
Normal scan, like priority scan, searches through all tag
channels in sequence. However, unlike priority scan, chan-
nel 16 is not checked unless channel 16 is set as a tag
channel.

PRIORITY SCAN
Priority scan searches through all tag channels in se-
quence while monitoring channel 16. When a signal is de-
tected on channel 16, scan pauses until the signal disap-
pears; when a signal is detected on a channel other than
channel 16, scan becomes dualwatch until the signal dis-
appears.
