PRECAUTIONS
Lt
WARNING!
NEVER
connect the transceiver
to
an
AC outlet directly. This may pose a fire hazard
or result
in
an electric shock.
Lt
WARNING!
NEVER
mount the transceiver
overhead. The weight of the transceiver is approxi-
mately 8
kg,
but its apparent weight will increase
several fold due to wave shocks or vibration. The
transceiver must
be
mounted
on
a flat hard surface
only.
NEVER
connect a power source of more than 16 V
DC
such as a 24 V battery. This connection will ruin
the transceiver.
NEVER
place the transceiver where normal opera-
tion of the ship or vehicle may
be
hindered orwhere it
could cause bodily injury.
NEVER
allow children to touch the transceiver.
NEVER
expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any
liquids.
There are two types of grounding systems available
for the IC-M71 0 - Negative Ground and Floating
Ground -
NEVER
install the negative ground type
to a plus-grounding ship. Such a connection might
blow fuses and is not usable.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
The explicit definitions described below apply to this
instruction manual.
WORD DEFINITION
Lt.
WARNING
Personal
injury,
fire
hazard
or
electric
shock
may
occur.
CAUTION
Equipment
damage
may
occur.
If
disregarded,
inconvenience
only.
No
NOTE
risk
of
personal
injury,
fire
or
electric
shock
.
NOTE: The IC-M710 GMDSS version has a high-sta-
bility crystal oscillator unit. This unit draws a slight cur-
rent even when power to the transceiver is
OFF.
To
prevent battery exhaustion when docking your vessel
for extended periods, unplug the
DC
cable from the
DC
power receptacle.
DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzene or
alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the
transceiver surfaces.
In
maritime mobile operation, KEEP the transceiver
and microphone as far away as possible (at least 1
m)
from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent
erroneous indications.
USE
an
lcom microphone and/or handset only
(supplied or optional). Other brands may have differ-
ent pin assignments and may damage the trans-
ceiver.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver
in
areas with
temperatures below
-20
oc
(
-4
•F) or above +60
°C
(+140.F).
AVOID connecting the transceiver to a power source
using reverse polarity. This connection will not only
blow fuses but may also damage the transceiver.
AVOID placing the transceiver
in
excessively dusty
environments
or
in
direct sunlight.
AVOID placing the transceiver against walls or putt-
ing anything on top of the transceiver. This will
obstruct heat dissipation.

OPERATING
RULES AND
GUIDELINES
1
~
Before transmitting, monitor the channel you wish
~
to use so as to avoid interrupting transmissions
~
already
in
progress.
• CALL PROCEDURES
Calls must
be
properly identified and time limit must
be
respected.
Q)
Give your call sign each time you call another
vessel or coast station.
If
you have no call sign,
identify the station by giving your vessel name
and the name of the licensee.
(2:)
Give your call sign at the end of each trans-
mission that lasts more than 3 min.
@ You must break and give your call sign at least
once every 15 min. during long ship-to-shore
calls.
@ Keep your unanswered calls short, less than 30
sec. Do not repeat a call for 2 min.
@ Unnecessary transmissions are not allowed.
• PRIORITIES
Q)
Read all rules and regulations pertaining to
priorities and keep
an
up-to-date copy handy.
Safety and distress calls take priority over all
others.
(2:)
False or fraudulent distress signals are prohibited
and punishable by law.
• PRIVACY
Q)
Information overheard but not intended for you
cannot lawfully
be
used
in
any way.
(2:)
Indecent or profane language is prohibited.
• LOGS
Q)
All distress, emergency and safety calls must
be
recorded
in
complete detail. Log data activity is
usually recorded
in
24 hour time. Universal Time
(UTC) is frequently used.
® Adjustments, repairs, channel frequency changes
and authorized modifications affecting electrical
operation of the equipment must
be
kept
in
the
maintenance log; entries must be signed by the
authorized licensed technician performing or su-
pervising the work.
• 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.
Inquire through your dealer or the appropriate gov-
ernment 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 opera-
tors 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 operator may operate a transceiver.
However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a
transceiver if a licensed operator starts, supervises,
and ends the call, and makes the necessary
log
entries.
Keep a copy of the current government rules and
regulations handy.

check
When "DUP" appears
on

from the received frequency.
In
such a case, the transmit frequency should
be

to other stations.
<>

power
selection
The transceiver has 3 selectable output powers.*
High power allows longer distance communications
and low power reduces power consumption.
*Only 2 selectable output powers are available with some
versions.
In
this case, level 1 stands for 60 W (the same
as
level2).
~
NOTE: Low power setting affects all channels ex-
~
cept the 2182 kHz emergency channel.

• Functions for receive
<>Squelch
function
This function detects signals with voice components
and
squelches (mutes) unwanted signals such as
non
modulated beat signals. This provides quiet
stand
by.
When
you
need to receive weak signals, the squelch
should
be
turned OFF.
<>Noise blanker
The noise blanker function reduces pulse type noise
such
as that coming from engine ignitions.
The noise blanker may distort reception of strong
signals.
In
such cases, the noise blanker should
be
turned OFF.
<>
AGC
off
function
The receiver gain is automatically adjusted accord-
ing
to
received signal strength with the AGC (Auto-
matic Gain Control) function
to
prevent distortion
from strong signals and to obtain a constant output
level.
When
receiving weak signals with adjacent strong
signals or noise, the AGC function may reduce the
sensitivity.
In
this situation, the AGC function
should
be
deactivated.
<>
RF gain setting
The receiver gain
can
be reduced with the
RF
gain
setting. This may help to remove undesired weak
signals while monitoring strong signals.
Usually, the AGC function reduces the
RF
gain
according
to
the receive signal strength and these
weak signals are removed. However, during periods
of
no
signals, these weak signals may not
be
heard.
In
such cases, the
RF
gain may
be
useful for setting
a minimum level at which
to
hear signals.
<>
Clarity
control
Voice signals received from other stations may
be
difficult
to
receive. This may sometimes happen if a
station
is
transmitting slightly off frequency.
In
such
cases, compensate the receive frequency only,
us-
ing
the [CLARITY] control.

tuner
The transceiver has several tuner control systems
for use with
an
optional lcom antenna tuner. Select
the condition depending
on
the connected antenna
tuner.
Note that internal switch selection may
be
required
when using a non-lcom tuner
(p.
