Uniden MC 1010
The Uniden MC 1010 VHF marine radio transceiver has been designed to
give you a rugged, reliable instrument that will provide you with years of
trouble-free service.
The technical excellence of the Uniden MC 1010 is demonstrated by the
many of uses for which it has been found acceptable by the U.S. Federal
Communications Commission. The Uniden MC 1010 is acceptable for
compulsory use on “party boats,” for use on vessels subject to the Great
Lakes Radio Agreement or bridge-to-bridge requirements, for general pleasure
and commercial vessels, and certain land stations in marine service.
The Uniden MC 1010 is of all solid state design with conservatively rated
rugged components and materials compatible with the marine environment.
The transceiver utilizes a number of gaskets, sealing rings, waterproof
membranes, and other sealants to effect a splashproof housing for protection
of the electronics. The unit may be mounted in any number of convenient
locations on your vessel by utilizing the universal mounting bracket.
You are encouraged to read the rest of this Operating Guide thoroughly to
acquaint yourself with the characteristics and operation of your transceiver so
that you can contribute to the longevity of your investment.
Be sure to complete the Product Registration Card at the back of this Guide,
cut it out and mail it.
Keep your receipt as proof-of-purchase in case warranty service is required.
Features, Specifications, and availability of Optional Accessories are all
subject to change without notice.

Installation
Caution: The MC 1010 will operate only with nominal 12 volt
negative ground battery systems.
It is important to determine carefully the most suitable location for your MC
1010 on your vessel. Electrical, mechanical, and environmental considerations
must all be taken into account. You must select the optimum relationship
among these considerations.
Keep in mind the flexibility designed into the MC 1010 so that you can most
conveniently use your radio. Features which should be considered are:
1. The universal mounting bracket may be installed on either the top or
bottom of a shelf, on a bulkhead, or for overhead mounting.
2. The REMOTE speaker jack can be used with an auxiliary speaker.
3. All connections are “plug-in” type for easy removal of the radio.
4. Front fire internal speaker allows convenient in-dash mounting using the
optional bracket.
Choosing a Location
Some important factors to consider in selecting the location for your MC 1010:
1. Select a location that is free from spray and splash.
2. Keep the battery leads as short as possible. Direct connection to the
battery is most desirable. If direct connection cannot be made with the
supplied power lead, any extension should be made with #10 AWG wire.
Long extensions should use larger gauge wire.
3. Keep the antenna lead as short as possible. Long antenna leads can cause
substantial loss of performance for both receiving and transmitting.
4. Locate your antenna as high as possible and clear from metal objects. The
reliable range of coverage is a direct function of antenna height.
5. Select a location that does not allow the radio to be subjected to direct
sunlight (including that coming through windows).
6. Select a location that allows free air flow around the heat sink on the rear
of the radio.
7. Select a location well away from the ship’s compass. Auxiliary speakers
also should be located away from the compass.

Engine Noise Suppression
Interference from the impulse noise generated by the electrical systems of
engines is sometimes a problem with radios. The MC 1010 has been designed
to be essentially impervious to ignition impulse noise and alternator noise.
However, in some installations it may be necessary to take measures to
further reduce the effect of noise interference. All DC battery wires, antenna
lead, and accessory cables should be routed away from the engine and
engine compartment, and from power cabling carrying particularly high
currents.
In severe cases of impulse noise interference, it may be necessary to install a noise
suppression kit. Contact Uniden for more information.
Antenna Considerations
A variety of antennas is available from a number of quality suppliers. It is
recommended you draw upon the advice of Uniden in determining a suitable
antenna for your vessel and range requirements.
In general, communication range is increased by using a high-gain antenna
placed as high as possible above the water line. Antennas should be located
away from metal objects. Antennas should not have excessively long coaxial
feed cables.
Installing The MC 1010
After you have carefully considered the various factors affecting your choice of
location, position the radio (with the bracket, microphone, power cord, antenna
and any auxiliary cables installed) into the selected location to assure there is
no interference with the surrounding items. Mark the location of the mounting
bracket. Remove the bracket from the radio and use it as a template to mark
the holes to be drilled for the mounting hardware. Drill the holes and mount the
bracket with hardware compatible with the material of the mounting surface.
Connect the red wire of the supplied power cord to the positive (+) battery
supply. Connect the black wire of the power cord to ground. The power cord is
equipped with a fuse to protect the radio. Use only a Six (6) Ampere fast blow
fuse for replacement. Connect the power cord to the keyed connector on the
power “pigtail” (See page 9).
Connect the antenna and all other auxiliary cables and accessories.
Install the radio in the mounting bracket and connect all cables and
accessories to the appropriate jacks and connectors.

Care and Maintenance
Your MC 1010 is a precision piece of electronic equipment and you should
treat it accordingly. Due to the rugged design, very little maintenance is
required. However, a few precautions should be observed:
•If your radio has been accidentally subjected to spray or splash,
you should immediately wipe it down with a soft cloth dampened
with fresh water.
•If the antenna has been damaged, you should not transmit except
in case of emergency. A defective antenna may cause damage to
your radio.
•You are responsible for the continued FCC technical compliance of
your radio.
•You are urged to arrange for periodic performance checks with
your Uniden Marine Dealer.
