ANTENNA
A very important part for the performance of any communication system is a
suitable antenna. Consult your dealer about antennas and ask them to help to
mount your radio.
Page 13 Page 14

3.4 MOUNTING THE RADIO
Mount the radio on your vessel:
1. Find a appropriate location defined in section 3.2;
2. Place the mounting bracket on the location surface, use a pencil to mark the
location of four holes where the fixing screws are to go into;
3. Caution: Be careful not to drill through the mounting surface.
4. Remove the bracket, drill four holes smaller than the screw diameter, then
re-place the mounting bracket on the surface aligning the drilled holes;
5. Insert the four fixing screws and secure the bracket to mounting surface
using the supplied bolts, spring washers, plain washers and nuts;
6. Caution: if you can not reach behind the mounting surface to attach the nut
on the bolts, use the supplied self-tapping screws to fasten the bracket.
7. Insert the four fixing screws and fasten them with a Philip screw-driver with
attention not to screw too tightly;
8. Mount the base station onto the bracket with notice of the matching of the
protuberances on the both inner side of the bracket and the pits on the two
sides of the base station (the selectable pits on the sides of the radio allow
you adjust the direction of the radio face to satisfy your easy-to-read-and-
use, 150for each rotation and totally 450tolerance);
9. Attach the supplied mounting knobs from the two sides of the bracket to fix
the base station securely.
Caution: Keep the radio and handset at least 1 meter away from any
magnetic devices such as compass on your vessel.
The supplied universal mounting bracket allows you to mount your base
station from overhead or on dashboard with a big scope of angle as many
as 450.
To change the angle after installation:
10. Loosen the mounting knob at the sides of gimbal, first.
11. Then adjust the base station to an appropriate direction with matching of the
protuberances on the inner sides of gimbal and pits on the outer sides of
base station.
12. Tighten the knob to secure.
3.5 ANTENNA MOUNTING/THE EME EXPOSURE
For optimal radio performance and minimal human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy, make sure the antenna is:
• Connected to the radio before transmitting;
• Properly mounted;
• Locale where it will be away from people:
• Locate at least three feet (91 cm) from the Base Station transceiver and
Handsets;
• Use standard type of PL259 connector
3.6 MOUNTING THE HANDSET
Find a mounting location near the base station to mount the wall hanger for
handset. The distance between the base station and the wall hanger should be
less than the length of the handset cable.
Page 15 Page 16

Caution: Keep the radio and handset at least 1 meter away from any magnetic
device such as compass on your vessel.
3.7 RECESSED INSTALLATION
1. Tape the installation template onto the chosen location site.
2. Cut out the area marked by the solid dark line. (The dashed line indicates the
total area that will be covered by the radio fascia after installation.)
3. Remove the installation template and slide the radio into the cavity.
4. Working from the rear of the bulkhead, align the outstanding parts on each
side of the radio with the central hole in each mounting bracket.
5. Use the two short M5x10 screws to screw the mounting brackets to the sides
of the radio.
6. Slide two M5x32 screws through the screw hole in the mounting bracket,
then attach the lock nut and the stopper. If your bulkhead exceeds 13mm,
the stopper nut can be discarded if necessary.
7. Tighten the M5x32 screws until the radio is held against the rear of the
bulkhead.
8. Tighten up the lock nuts to secure the installation.
. BASIC OPERATION
4.1 TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION

5 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING
5.1 GENERAL
DSC(Digital Selective Calling) is a semi-automated method of establishing a
radio call, it has been designated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO)
as an international standard for establishing VHF, MF and HF radio calls. It had
Page 19 Page 20

also been designated part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System
(GMDSS). It is planed that DSC will eventually replace aural watches on distress
frequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety
information broadcasts. This new service will also allow mariners to initiate or
receive distress, urgency, safety and routine calls to or from another vessel
equipped with a DSC transceiver.
5.1.1 MARITIME MOBILE SERVICE IDENTITY
An MMIS is a nine digit number used on Marine Transceiver capable of
using Digital Selective Calling (DSC). This number is used like a
telephone number to selectively call other vessels. Refer to section 6.8.1
(USER MMSI ENTRY).
5.1.2 HOW CAN I OBTAIN A MMSI ASSIGNMENT?
Contact your dealer.
WARNING
This radio is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and safety
call to facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety device,
this equipment must be used only within communication range of a
shore–based VHF marine channel70 distress and safety watch system.
The range of signal may very but under normal conditions should be
approximately 20 nautical miles.
5.2 DSC CALL TYPES
Press the DSC/MENU key to pop up the menu for user to select the DSC
call type to send. Note that only four calls can be shown at any one time on
the screen.
Press + /–or rotate the CH knob scroll up and down the call types until the
cursor is positioned at the desired option.
Press the Ch knob the call types are:
Call Type Description
LAST CALL Recall last call no matter what type of call received at
last.
NEW CALLMake a new call, by inputting the MMSI or pick up
from the list max 20
GROUP Sends transmissions that are only received by radios
that share a common group MMSI number, up to 3
group MMSI numbers can be stored and call.
ALL SHIPS Make an Urgency or Safety call to all ships.
CALL LOG Allow a review of all stored Calls by number and time
of call. An individual call type can be placed to the
selected MMSI/NAME in the LOG. The call at the end
of the list is automatically erased. The earliest call
stored at the end of the list. 20 calls could be stored.
DISTRESS Log Allow a review of all stored Distress calls by number
and time of call. The call at the end of the list is
automatically erased. The earliest call stored at
the end of the list. 10 calls could be stored.
POS REQUEST The option enables you to request GPS position
information from any vessel for which an MMSI
number is known, such request can pick up from
Buddy list or manual entry.
EXIT quit the menu mode
DISTRESS A specific Distress key is used to make the
distress call.
The call send out the position and time information
from the input NMEA data along with your MMSI
number. This digital information lets other ships and
shore equipped with appropriate DSC equipment
know where you are and that you are in a distress
situation, except immediate help is needed, never use
the distress call.
Page 21 Page 22

5.2.1 Sending a distress Call
Note: Only having a MMSI code of your radio and DSC enable, can
you initiate a DSC transmission. To enter the MMSI code see6.9.1.
1. Open the red cover label DISTRESS.
2. Press the DISTRESS key momentarily.
The Text area of the display reconfigures to show the Nature of
Distress menu.
3. If time is available, rotate the CH knob to select the Nature of Distress,
the default are "UNDEFINED".
4 Hold down the DISTRESS key for more than 3 seconds Until you see
the distress call sent message on the screen. The whole display screen
to flash and beep loudly.
5If DISTRESS button is released before 3 seconds, the initiation of
distress call is not taken into effect and If button is pressed for more
than 3 seconds, DISTRESS call is sent whether channel 70 is busy or
not. When Distress is sent, the acoustic alarm goes to a continuous tone
until acknowledgement received or the DISTRESS call is cancelled.
6 during the distress call sequence, the radio simultaneously watches
Channel 70 for a DSC acknowledgement and Channel 16.
7 when the distress call is acknowledged, the acoustic alarm stops and
the radio returns to normal operation on channel 16, with high power
relay to the connected station via the microphone
8 If no acknowledgement is received, the unit retransmits the DISTRESS
call at random intervals of 3.5 to 4.5 minutes until a response is received
