EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
WORD DEFINITION
R WARNING! Personal injury, fire hazard or
electric shock may occur.
CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE
If disregarded, inconvenience only.
No risk or personal injury, fire or
electric shock.
RWARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER at-
tach an antenna to antenna connectors during trans-
mission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver
to an AC outlet directly. This may pose a fire hazard or
result in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER mount the transceiver
main unit overhead. The weight of the unit is approxi-
mately 4.7 kg (10 lb 6 oz), but its apparent weight will
increase several fold due to wave shocks or vibration.
The unit must be mounted on a flat hard surface only.
RWARNING! NEVER place the transceiver
where normal operation of the ship or vehicle may be
hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
RWARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other ob-
jects touch any internal part or connectors on the rear
panel of the transceiver. This may result in an electric
shock.
CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain,
snow or any liquids.
CAUTION: NEVER connect a power source of
more than 15.64 V DC, such as a 24 V battery. This
connection could cause a fire or ruin the transceiver.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty en-
vironments or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting
anything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct
heat dissipation.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with
temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above +55°C
(+131°F).
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or al-
cohol to clean the transceiver, as they will damage
the transceiver’s surfaces. If the transceiver becomes
dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
BE CAREFUL! The heatsink will become hot when op-
erating the transceiver continuously for long periods.
During maritime mobile operation, KEEP the trans-
ceiver and microphone as far away as possible (at
least 1 m; 3 ft) from the magnetic navigation compass
to prevent erroneous indications.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied). Other manu-
facturer’s microphones have different pin assignments,
and connection to the IC-M802 may damage the trans-
ceiver.
Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent
use by children.

5. Explain what assistance you need.
6. Give additional information:
 •Shiptype
 •Shiplength
 •Shipcolor
 •Numberofpeopleon-board
When potential problems exist
qPush [DSC] to select DSC watch mode, if neces-
sary.
wPush [MODE set] to select DSC menu, rotate
[CH] to select “All ships” then push [ENT].
eFollow the guidance displayed on the LCD (bottom
line), to set up the category, traffic frequency and
calling frequency with [CH], [ENT] and keypad.
