INTRODUCTION
The new handheld marine transceiver ARCTIC is able to satisfy communication
requirements for all types of navigation whether professional or hobbyist.
ARCTIC is a robust equipment with professional design, electronically advanced
that enables clear and reliable communications on the VHF nautical band for all
international channels assigned by ITU.
It oers security for all navigation requirements also thanks to a dedicated button
that gives instant access to the emergency channel N.16.
ARCTIC boasts 57 channels and guarantees best performances in all situations,
also thanks to the keypad lock that prevents accidental pushing of buttons while
handling the device. Besides the LCD backlit display lets you use the transceiver in
darkness or poor visibility.

WARNINGS
! Do not transmit with the damaged antenna or without the antenna con-
nected - although the radio is protected, this may seriously damage its R.F.
power stages. Do not use your transceiver if the antenna is damaged.
! Do not keep the antenna too close to your head and body during transmis-
sion.
! Do not hold the transceiver by the antenna! This is a delicate part of the
device and is vital for the proper functioning of the radio.
! Pay attention to environmental conditions - although the radio was desi-
gned to operate under the most severe conditions it is important to avoid
exposure to environments that are excessively humid or dusty, or to tem-
peratures outside the -15° to +55°C° range. Also avoid exposure to direct
sunlight.
! Avoid strong mechanical shocks and excessive vibrations, the radio is de-
signed to bear mechanical shocks and vibrations, provided that they’re the
normal ones borne by any electrical equipment.
! Do not use the radio and its accessories in potentially explosive envi-
ronments. A single spark may cause an explosion.
! Do not open the radio for any reason! The radio’s precision mechanics and
electronics require experience and specialized equipment; for the same re-
ason, the radio should under no circumstances be realigned as it has already
been calibrated for maximum performance. Unauthorized opening of the
transceiver will void the warranty.
! Do not use detergents, alcohol, solvents, or abrasives to clean the
equipment. Just use a soft, clean cloth. If the radio is very dirty, slightly
dampen the cloth with a mixture of water and a neutral soap.
! Your VHF marine handheld transceiver has a built-in VHF radio transmit-
ter. Be aware that, when you press the PTT button, the radio emits radio
frequency (R.F.) energy.
PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE OPTIONAL
Thanks to Midland Programming software PRG-G15, it is possible to increase
the performance of your radio or to reduce its functionality by enabling or
disabling some features (Power Save, VOX, SQUELCH, VOICE, SCAN).
For further information, please consult the Programming software manual.
Any attempt to change frequencies or output power of the radio invalidates
the approval.

BATTERY RECHARGE
ARCTIC is equipped for using a 7,4V Li-ion rechargeable battery pack, which
can be recharged by connecting the socket of the AC/DC wall adaptor to a
mains power socket and inserting the jack of the wall adaptor into the desktop
charger plug.
It takes 4 hours to fully recharge the radio.
The led of the desktop charger indicates the status of the recharge:
Red = charging,
Green = full charge
For maximum battery life, we recommend you to charge the battery pack
when ARCTIC is o and the battery pack is fully discharged.
! Using a dierent battery charger other than the one specified can cause da-
mage to your device or may even cause explosions and personal injuries.
The Battery power saving feature enables a reduction in consumption and saves the
battery life. If it has been set, it automatically activates when the transceiver does
not receive any signal for more than 5 seconds. Power saving can be disabled only
through the Programming software.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
SCANNING ALL CHANNELS BY MEANS OF THE OPTIONAL
PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
ARCTIC can automatically search for signals throughout the marine band by
scanning, i.e. selecting the channels in rapid sequence. When a signal is de-
tected, the scanning pauses on that channel and remains blocked for 5 secon-
ds before automatically starting again the scanning to give you the chance to
find other communication.
Once you are tuned in the communication you were looking for, press PTT to
talk on the selected channel.
If you press PTT during scanning you can transmit on the channel from which
the scanning started. The Encoder/Channel knob allows you to change the
direction of scanning (from lower channels to higher ones or viceversa) and
therefore to skip communications which are of no interest.
To activate this function please refer to the user manual of the programming
software.
VOX
The VOX feature enables hands free conversations without using PTT: just
speak in the direction of the microphone and the communication will be auto-
matically activated.
The VOX sensitivity can be adjusted in 10 dierent levels (0,1,2,3…9) through
the Menu or programming software :
OFF means that the VOX is turned o, level 1 is set by default and has the
lowest VOX sensitivity, 9 is the highest one.
To activate the VOX levels, follow these steps:

• INFORMAZIONE AGLI UTENTI: i sensi dell’art. 13 del decreto legislativo 25
luglio 2005, n.151 “Attuazione delle Direttive 2002/95/CE, 2002/96/CE e
2003/108/CE, relative alla riduzione dell’uso di sostanze pericolose nelle appa-
recchiature elettriche ed elettroniche, nonché allo smaltimento dei rifiuti”.
Il simbolo del cassonetto barrato riportato sull’apparecchiatura indica che il pro-
dotto alla fine della propria vita utile deve essere raccolto separatamente dagli
altri rifiuti. L’utente dovrà, pertanto, conferire l’apparecchiatura giunta a fine vita
agli idonei centri di raccolta dierenziata dei rifiuti elettronici ed elettrotecnici,
oppure riconsegnarla al rivenditore al momento dell’acquisto di una nuova ap-
parecchiatura di tipo equivalente, in ragione di uno a uno. L’adeguata raccolta
dierenziata per l’avvio successivo dell’apparecchiatura dismessa al riciclaggio,
al trattamento e allo smaltimento ambientalmente compatibile contribuisce ad
evitare possibili eetti negativi sull’ambiente e sulla salute e favorisce il riciclo dei
materiali di cui è composta l’apparecchiatura. Lo smaltimento abusivo del pro-
dotto da parte dell’utente comporta l’applicazione delle sanzioni amministrative
di cui al dlgs. n.22/1997 (articolo 50 e seguenti del dlgs. n.22/1997).
• All articles displaying this symbol on the body, packaging or instruction manual
of same, must not be thrown away into normal disposal bins but brought to
specialised waste disposal centres. Here, the various materials will be divided
by characteristics and recycles, thus making an important contribution to envi-
ronmental protection.
• Alle Artikel, die auf der Verpackung oder der Gebrauchanweisung dieses Symbol
tragen, dürfen nicht in den normalen Mülltonnen entsorgt werden, sondern
müssen an gesonderten Sammelstellen abgegeben werden. Dort werden die
Materialien entsprechend ihrer Eigenschaften getrennt und, um einen Beitrag
zum Umweltschutz zu liefern, wiederverwertet.
• Todos los artículos que exhiban este símbolo en el cuerpo del producto, en el
embalaje o en el manual de instrucciones del mismo, no deben ser desechados
junto a los residuos urbanos normales sino que deben ser depositados en los
centros de recogida especializados. En estos centros, los materiales se dividirán
en base a sus características y serán reciclados, para así poder contribuir de ma-
nera importante a la protección y conservación del medio ambiente.
• Tous les articles présentant ce symbole sur le corps, l’emballage ou le manuel
d’utilisation de celui-ci ne doivent pas être jetés dans des poubelles normales
mais être amenés dans des centres de traitement spécialisés. Là, les diérents
matériaux seront séparés par caractéristiques et recyclés, permettant ainsi de
contribuer à la protection de l’environnement.
• Όλα τα προϊόντα στα οποία εμφανίζεται το ακόλουθο σύμβολο στο σώμα, τη
συσκευασία ή το εγχειρίδιο χρήσης τους, δεν πρέπει να εναποθέτονται στους κοινούς
κάδους απορριμάτων αλλά να προσκομίζονται στα ειδικά κέντρα αποκομιδής. Εκεί,
τα διάφορα υλικά θα πρέπει να διαχωρίζονται ανάλογα με τα χαρακτηριστικά και
τα ανακυκλούμενα υκλικά, συμμετέχοντας έτσι ουσιαστικά στην προστασία του
περιβάλλοντος.
