This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. FM-4000 Page 7 7 GETTING STARTED 7.1 ABOUT VHF RADIO The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with some shore stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially “line of sight” (VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as buildings, hills or trees). Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter. On a fixed mount 25 W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles, for a portable 5 W radio transmission the expected distance can be greater than 5 miles in “line of sight”. 7.2 SELECTING AN ANTENNA Marine antennas are made to radiate signals equally in all horizontal directions, but not straight up. The objective of a marine antenna is to enhance the signal toward the horizon. The degree to which this is accomplished is called the antenna’s gain. It is measured in decibels (dB) and is one of the major factors in choosing an antenna. In terms of effective radiated power (ERP), antennas are rated on the basis of how much gain they have over a theoretical antenna with zero gain. A 3-foot, 3 dB gain antenna represents twice as much gain over the imaginary antenna. Typically a 3-foot 3 dB gain stainless steel whip is used on a sailboat mast. The longer 8-foot 6 dB fiberglass whip is primarily used on powerboats that require the additional gain. 7.3 COAXIAL CABLE VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable – a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cables are specified by their diameters and construction. For runs less than 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4-inch in diameter, is a good choice. For runs over 20 feet but less than 50 feet, the larger diameter RG-8X or RG-213/U should be used. Cable runs over 50 feet should use RG-8X. For installation of the connector onto the coaxial cable see the figure below. To get your coaxial cable through a fitting and into your boat’s interior, you may have to cut off the end plug and reattach it later. You can do this if you follow the directions that come with the connector. Be sure to make good soldered connections. Page 8 Adapter 1/16'' 3/4'' 1 1/8'' 3/4'' 1/8'' 3/8'' 5/8'' FM-4000 8 INSTALLATION 8.1 LOCATION The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that: • is far enough from any compass to avoid any deviation in compass reading due to the speaker magnet (see the compass safe distances in the Safety Instructions) • provides easy access to the front panel controls and rear connectors • allows connection to a power source and an antenna • has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger • the antenna must be mounted at least three feet from the radio Note: To insure the radio does not affect the compass or the radio’s performance is not affected by the antenna location, temporarily connect the radio in the desired location and: a. Examine the compass to see if the radio causes any deviation. b. Connect the antenna and key the radio. Check to ensure the radio is operating correctly by requesting a radio check. 8.2 OPTIONAL MMB-84 FLUSH MOUNT INSTALLATION 1. Make a rectangular template for the flush mount measuring 2.9” H x 8.1” W (72 x 205 mm). 2. Use the template to mark the location where the rectangular hole is to be cut. Confirm that the space behind the dash or panel is deep enough to accommodate the transceiver (at least six inches deep). There should be at least 1/2 inch between the transceiver's heatsink and any wiring, cables or structures. 3. Cut out the rectangular hole and insert the transceiver. 4. Fasten the brackets to the sides of the transceiver with the lock washer nut combination so that the mounting screw base faces the mounting surface. 5. Turn the adjusting screw to adjust the tension so that the transceiver is tight against the mounting surface. Bracket Adjusting Screw Lock-washer nut combination FM-4000 Page 9 8.3 OPTIONAL CMP30 REMOTE MIC The CMP30 Remote MIC permits remote control of the FM-4000’s radio, DSC and PA/Fog functions. In addition the FM-4000 can operate as a full function intercom system. 1. Connect the extension cable to the remote MIC eight pin connector on the rear panel, then tighten the cable nut (See Figure 3). 2. Referring to Figure 3, make a 1.2” (30 mm) hole in the wall, then insert the extension cable into this hole. Connect the gasket and mounting base to the extension cable connector using the nut. 3. Drill the four screw holes (approx. 2 mm) on the wall, then install the mounting base to the wall using four screws. Put the rubber cap onto the nut. The installation is now complete. NOTE The routing cable can be cut and spliced, however care needs to be taken when reconnecting the wires to ensure water integrity. Before cutting the cable, make sure it is not plugged into the radio. After cutting you will notice there are the following wires: Yellow, Green, Brown, Purple, Blue, Green, RedÚ, ShieldÚ Ú The red and shield wires are wrapped in foil. Remove the foil, and separate the red and shield wires.

The transceiver returns to the channel it was on prior to a weather channel. 10.7.1 NOAA Weather Alert In the event of extreme weather disturbances, such as storms and hurricanes, the NOAA sends a weather alert accompanied by a 1050 Hz tone and subsequent weather report on one of the NOAA weather channels. When the Weather Alert feature is enabled (see section “12.10 WEATHER ALERT (ON/OFF)”), the transceiver is capable of receiving this alert if you do the following: 1. Program NOAA weather channels into the transceiver’s memory for scanning. Program by the same procedure as for regular channels, referring to section “10.13.2 Memory Scanning (M-SCAN).” 2. Press the [SCAN] key once to start memory scanning. 3. The programmed NOAA weather channels will be scanned along with the regular-programmed channels. However, scanning will not stop on a normal weather broadcast unless a NOAA alert is received. 4. When an alert is received on a NOAA weather channel, scanning will stop and the transceiver will emit a loud beep to alert the user to a NOAA broadcast. 5. Press the [WX] key to stop the alert tone and receive the weather report. NOTE If the [WX] key is not pressed at step 5, the alert tone will be emitted for five minutes and then the weather report will be received. NOTE The Weather Alert feature is also engaged while the transceiver is receiving on one of the NOAA weather channels. 10.7.2 NOAA Weather Alert Testing NOAA tests the alert system every Wednesday between 11AM and 1PM. To test the FM-4000’s NOAA Weather feature at that time, setup as directed in section “10.7.1 NOAA Weather Alert” and confirm that you receive the alert. Page 24 FM-4000 10.8 EMERGENCY (CH16 USE) CH16 is known as the Hail and Distress channel. An emergency may be defined as a threat to life or property. In such instances, be sure the transceiver is on and set it to CH16. Then do as follows: 1. Press the microphone push-to-talk switch and say “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday. This is ” (your vessel’s name). 2. Then repeat once: “Mayday, ” (your vessel’s name). 3. Now report your position in latitude/longitude, or by giving a true or magnetic bearing (state which) to a well-known landmark such as a navigation aid or geographic feature such as an island or harbor entry. 4. Explain the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, fire, heart attack, life-threatening injury, etc.). 5. State the kind of assistance you desire (pumps, medical aid, etc.). 6. Report the number of persons aboard and condition of any injured. 7. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel. 8. Give your vessel’s description: length, design (power or sail), color and other distinguishing marks. The total transmission should not exceed one minute. 9. End the message by saying “OVER”. Release the microphone push-totalk and listen. 10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no response, try another channel. 10.9 CALLING ANOTHER VESSEL (CH16 OR CH9) Channel 16 may be used for initial contact (hailing) with another vessel. However, its most important use is for emergency messages. This channel must be monitored at all times except when actually using another channel. It is monitored by the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards and by other vessels. Use of CH16 for hailing must be limited to initial contact only. Calling should not exceed 30 seconds, but may be repeated three times at 2-minute intervals. In areas of heavy radio traffic, congestion on CH16 resulting from its use as a hailing channel can be reduced significantly in U.S. waters by using CH9 as the initial contact (hailing) channel for non-emergency communications. Here, also, calling time should not exceed 30 seconds but may be repeated three times at 2-minute intervals. Prior to making contact with another vessel, refer to the channel charts in this manual, then select an appropriate channel for communications after initial contact. For example, CH68 and CH69 of the U.S. VHF charts are some of the channels available to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. Monitor your desired channel in advance to make sure you will not be interrupting other traffic, FM-4000 Page 25 and then go back to either CH16 or CH9 for your initial contact. When the hailing channel (16 or 9) is clear, state the name of the other vessel you wish to call and then “this is” followed by the name of your vessel and your Station License (Call Sign). When the other vessel returns your call, immediately request another channel by saying “go to,” the number of the other channel, and “over.” Then switch to the new channel. When the new channel is not busy, call the other vessel. After a transmission, say “over,” and release the microphone’s push-to-talk (PTT) switch. When all communication with the other vessel is completed, end the last transmission by stating your Call Sign and the word “out.” Note that it is not necessary to state your Call Sign with each transmission, only at the beginning and end of the contact. Remember to return to CH16 when not using another channel. Some radios automatically monitor CH16 even when set to other channels or when scanning. 10.10 MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS To make a radiotelephone call, use a channel designated for this purpose, The fastest way to learn which channels are used for radiotelephone traffic is to ask at a local marina. Channels available for such traffic are designated Public Correspondence channels on the channel charts in this manual. Some examples for USA use are Channels 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 84, 85, 86, and 87. Call the marine operator and identify yourself by your vessel’s name. The marine operator will then ask you how you will pay for the call (telephone credit card, collect, etc.) and then link your radio transmission to the telephone lines. The marine telephone company managing the VHF channel you are using may charge a link-up fee in addition to the cost of the call. 10.11 OPERATING ON CHANNELS 13 AND 67 CH13 is used at docks and bridges and by vessels maneuvering in port. Messages on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing in restricted waters. CH67 is used for navigational traffic between vessels. By regulation, power is normally limited to 1 Watt on these channels. Your radio is programmed to automatically reduce power to this limit on these channels. However, in certain situations it may be necessary to temporarily use a higher power. See page 18 ([H/L] key) for how to temporarily override the lowpower limit on these two channels.

To be effective as a safety device, this equipment must be used only within communication range of a shorebased VHF marine CH70 distress and safety watch system. The range of the signal may vary but under normal conditions should be approximately 20 nautical miles. NOTE A DSC warning sticker is included with the FM-4000. To comply with FCC regulations, this sticker must be mounted in a location that can be easily viewed from the location of the FM-4000. WARNING STICKER -/ * J KL DI STRES S P UL L OPE N Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of establishing a radio call. DSC has been designated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as an international standard for establishing VHF, MF and HF radio calls. It has also been designated as a part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). It is planned 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 system allows mariners to instantly send a Distress call with GPS position (when connected to the transceiver) to the US Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiate or receive Distress, Urgency, Safety, Routine, Position Request, Position Send, and Group calls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSC transceiver. 11.2 MARITIME MOBILE SERVICE IDENTITY (MMSI) 11.2.1 What is an MMSI? An MMSI is a nine-digit number used on marine transceivers capable of using DSC. This number is used like a telephone number to selectively call other vessels. Page 34 FM-4000 THIS NUMBER MUST BE PROGRAMMED INTO THE RADIO TO OPERATE THE DSC FUCTIONS. How can I obtain an MMSI assignment? In the USA, visit the following websites to register: http://www.boatus.com/mmsi/ or http://seatow.com/boating_safety/mmsi.asp In the Canada, visit http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/smt-gst.nsf/vwapj/cpc_2307e.pdf/$FILE/ cpc_2307e.pdf 11.2.2 Programming the MMSI WARNING An MMSI can be inputted only once.
