CAUTIONS
Before supplying power, users are urged to read this operation manual with attention.
1. How to make Distress Call and stop
1-1. When any distress call is made, press DISTRESS button for 3s until DISTRESS
MESSAGE is seen, then the overall display unit will be flamed with a high level of alert
sound. In transmitting any distress call, it should be made based on the duty person’s
judgment of the ship. As this test may cause a huge damage to neighboring ships or to
rescue authorities, users MUST NOT make the test.
1-2. If the distress call is performed, the distress message will be automatically transmitted
at repetitive intervals of 3m 30s ~ 4m 30s. This transmission repeats until the previous
DSC made by the own station is received or any operation for stop is performed. If any
transmission is mistakenly made, press ESC/F button to stop it. Even though the
operation for stop is made, users need to contact Channel 16 to inform about the
accidental transmission because the message was automatically transmitted.
1-3 When any distress call is received, please inform the person in charge of it.
2. Initial setup in installation
For the below items, please work on the initial setup when the equipment is installed, prior
to the actual operation. Users can contact the maker or any agents who is able to work on
the installation.
2-1 Voltage Checkout
Input Voltage of VHF Main Unit : Make sure that DC13.6V is ready.
2-2 Setup of ID Number
ID Number assigned for the own ship and other setups are required.

Chapter 1. Summary
1.1. Summary
Purpose
This VHF Radio is designed to be fit for the VHF carriage requirements for both
internationally engaged vessels and locally engaged vessels and is radio transceiver for
ship mobile radio communication.
On top of the traditional voice communication, this equipment has an additional function of
DSC alert which enables users to work on both normal-time communication and distress
communication with the built-in DSC facility.
DSC Transmission and Reception
In order to use DSC function, any valid user MMSI should be input first.
What is DSC ?
Internationally standardized by IMO(International Maritime Organization) as a part of
GMDSS(Global Maritime Distress and Safety System), DSC(Digital Selective Calling) is a
semi-automatic way of making any MF/HF and VHF call.

8
1.2. Features
1. Including all the channels designated by the radio communication agreements of
International Electro-technical Commission, it is designed to work on USA CHANNEL,
WEATHER CHANNEL and CANADA CHANNEL. (Weather Alert Sense Function available,
USA and Canada area applicable)
2. Compact design requires less space and easier installation.
3. The adoption of GRAPHIC LCD of wide range sight-angle allows users to have better
eye-sights at various positions and easier operation. Clear channel display guarantees
4(four) levels of LCD Contrast available.
4. As the necessary operation methods are displayed on LCD according to marks and
purposes by MENU modes, it is especially useful to operate DSC in addition to the
existent operations.
5. As LCD and buttons’ back light have a wide range of lighting, it does not disturb the
night duty.
6. It is designed for the waterproof.
7. Besides the traditional voice communication, it is also available to work on
communications for distress, emergency, safety and normal operations, using DSC
function.
8. It offers much better convenience with GPS altitude/longitude and time indication
functions. (When it is connected to GPS receiver)
9. It has a function for automatic input of position data(altitude/longitude) resulting from
any navigational equipment such as GPS receiver. When transmitting any distress call, it
is designed to insert the position data coming from any navigational equipment into the
distress message for transmission.
And when receiving any sea area call, it is designed to make an automatic judgment to
see if the own ship is positioned within the area, based on the position data coming from
any navigational equipment.
10. It offers a function to select High(25W) or Low(1W) transmission power and an
automatic setup.
11. It also has a function to link to any external radio output.
12. It is convenient to use a dedicated Channel 16/9 buttons that enable users to make an
easy access to the priority channels.
13. It has the built-in Dual/Trial Watch function and Tag Scan function.
14. DSC function complies to Class D standards.
15. It has a Friend List function to easily call up to 20 persons with DSC whom the user
want to list up.
16. Users can set up 3(three) favorite groups. (For Group DSC transmission)
17. It offers Group DSC transmission and it is also available to call all vessels with DSC
function.
18. LL Position Polling function enables users to identify the positions of friends.

3.3 POSITION INFORMATION INTERFACE
This unit is efficiently designed for convenient use, after receiving NMEA0183 FORMAT
typed GPS information that will interfaces internally and input automatically with current
own vessel’s latitude and longitude value when distress call is occurred.
It is available to input the time when determined with position information and position by
manual.
In case not receiving position data from electronic position-determined device, and/or in
case position information conducted by manual input being delayed more than 4 hours,
alarm is ringing. Any position information, which is not updated more than 231/2 hours
should be deleting. Alarm will ring if GPS is not input more than 1 minute and alarm
would stop when GPS is input again.
NMEA0283 input mode and type for this unit is as follows,
