11.5.5 Receiving an Individual Call
When receiving an Individual call, an acknowledgment must be sent back to the
calling station, automatically or manual. The default setting is Automatic, but the
radio has a selection that allows you to manually send a reply before the radio
will switch to the requested calling channel. The default reply method is Auto-
matic, but manual reply (before the radio switches to the requested calling chan-
nel) also is available. This selection is useful if you want to see who is calling and
requesting you to switch to a channel for communications, similar to the caller ID
on a cellular phone.
1. When an Individual call is received, the Individual call ringing alarm sounds.
The radio automatically (automatic mode selected)
switches to the requested channel and the LCD
shows the MMSI of the vessel calling.
2. Press any key to stop the alarm.
3. Press the PTT on the microphone and talk to the calling ship.
11.6 CALL WAITING DIRECTORY
The FM-4000 logs received Distress calls and Individual
calls. The DSC Call Waiting feature is similar to an an-
swering machine where calls are recorded for review.
When a call is logged while the radio is set on the DSC
Standby function, a “ ” icon appears on the LCD. The FM-4000 can memo-
rize up to 30 Distress calls, and up to 80 Individual calls.

11.7 GROUP CALL
This feature allows the user to contact a group of specific vessels (example
members of a yacht club) that have DSC radios with Group call function to
automatically switch to a desired channel for voice communications.
11.7.1 Setting up a Group Call
For this function to operate, the same Group MMSI must be programmed into
all the DSC VHF radios within the group of vessels that use this feature. To
understand about Group MMSI programming, first a Ship MMSI has to be
understood.
Ship MMSI: The first three digits called a MID (Mobile Identity Group) of a Ship
MMSI denote the country the ship registered for a MMSI. The last six digits are
specific to the Ships ID.
Ship MMSI Example: If your MMSI is “366123456”, for example, “366” is the
MID, which denotes the country, and “123456” is the ID of your ship.
Group MMSI:
Group MMSI numbers are not assigned by the FCC or other organizations
licensed to assign Ship MMSI numbers.
The first digit of a Group MMSI is always set to “0” in accordance with
international regulations. All FURUNO radios are preset so when program-
ming a Group MMSI the first digit is set to “0”.
The USCG recommends programming the MID of a Ship MMSI into the
second, third and fourth digits of the Group MMSI as it denotes the area
the ship is located.
The last five digits are decided upon by persons in the Group. This is an
important step as all radios in the group must contain the same Group
MMSI so they can be contacted by each other. There is a chance that
another group of vessels have the same Group MMSI as yours. If this
happens, simply change one or more of the last five digits of the Group
MMSI.
1. Press and hold down the [CALL(MENU)] key
until the “Radio SetupRadio Setup

11.8 POSITION REQUEST
Advancements in DSC have made it possible to poll the location of another
vessel and show the position of that vessel on the display of the FM-4000.
FURUNO has taken this feature one step further. If any FURUNO GPS chart
plotters are connected to the FM-4000, the polled position of the vessel is
shown on the display of the GPS chart plotter, making it easy to navigate to the
location of the polled vessel. This is a great feature for anyone wanting to
know the position of another vessel. For example, your buddy that is catching
fish, or finding the location of a person you are cruising with.
NOTE
The other vessel must have an operating GPS receiver connected to its
DSC transceiver and must not have its transceiver set to deny position
requests. (See the section “11.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL” to enter informa-
tion into the individual directory).
11.8.1 Setting up Position Reply
The FM-4000 can automatically or manually send your position to another
vessel. This selection is important if you are concerned about someone polling
the position of your vessel that you may not want to. In the manual mode you
will see the MMSI or person’s name shown on the display, allowing you to
choose to send your position to the requesting vessel or not.

12.15 CALENDAR SETUP
Calendar Menu
The FM-4000 has a clock that remembers date, time, latitude and longitude.
Connecting a GPS receiver to the FM-4000 is very important as it not only will
be used to update the calendar automatically and also when a DSC Distress
call is transmitted will send your vessel’s location to other vessels to aid in the
rescue. See section “8.5 ACCESSORY CABLE.”
GPS Receiver Connected
When a GPS receiver is connected, the FM-4000 will automatically store the
calendar date and time information after being connected for one hour.
GPS Receiver Not Connected
If a GPS receiver is not connected to the FM-4000, manually enter the date
and time into the Calendar Menu in order for the clock to operate. The time you
will enter will be your local time in UTC format. To calculate your local UTC
time, first find your location on the Standard Time table below.
NOTE
The table below shows Standard Time. For Daylight Savings subtract
one hour from your offset.

14 MAINTENANCE
The inherent quality of the solid-state components used in this transceiver will
provide many years of continuous use. Taking the following precautions will
prevent damage to the transceiver.
• Keep the microphone connected or the jack covered at all times to prevent
corrosion of electrical contacts.
• Never key the microphone unless an antenna or suitable dummy load is
connected to the transceiver.
• Ensure that the supply voltage to the transceiver does not exceed 16 VDC
or fall below 11 VDC.
• Use only FURUNO-approved accessories and replacement parts.
In the unlikely event of serious problems, please contact your dealer.

tive (+) battery post, and the black wire is con-
nected to the negative (-) battery post. If the fuse
blows after replacement, contact your dealer for
advice.
Reroute the DC power cables away from the
engine. Add noise suppressor on the power
cable. Change to resistive spark plug wires and/
or add an alternator whine filter.
Check if the accessory cable is firmly fastened.
(Short circuit the external speaker cable WHITE/
SHIELD).
Check if the accessory cable is firmly fastened.
(Short circuit the PA speaker cable RED/

Some GPS receivers use the battery ground line
for NMEA connection.
Check the output signal format of the GPS re-
ceiver. This radio requires NMEA0183 format
with GLL, RMB, or RMC sentence as an output
signal. If the GPS receiver has a facility for set-
ting baud rate and parity, select “4800” and
“NONE,” respectively.

ductor wire. See section “8.5 ACCESSORY
CABLE” for cable connections.
14.1 TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
FM-4000Page 76
15 CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS
This chapter provides the VHF Marine Channel assignments for U.S.A. and
International use. Below are listed some data about the charts.
1. VTS. Where indicated, these channels are part of the U.S. Coast Guard’s
Vessel Traffic System.
2. Alpha channel numbers, that is, channel numbers followed by the letter A
(such as Channel 07A) are simplex channels on the U.S.A. or Canadian
channel assignments whose counterparts in the International assignments
are duplex channels. International channels do not use “alpha” numbers.
If you call the Coast Guard on Channel 16, they will sometimes ask you to
“go to channel 22 Alpha.” This is a channel assigned to U.S.A, and Cana-
dian Coast Guards for handling distress and other calls. If your radio is set
for International operation you will go to Channel 22 instead of 22A, and
will not be able to communicate with the Coast Guard. To use Channel
22A, your radio must be set for USA or Canada operation, usually by a U/
I/C (USA/International/Canada) control or combination of controls. Chan-
nel 22 (without an “A”) is an International duplex channel for port opera-
tions. Some radios indicate an “A” adjacent to the alpha channels on the
display; on others “alpha” is not indicated but the proper channel is se-
lected based on the U/I/C setting.
3. Bridge-to-Bridge channels (for example, Channel 13) are for use by bridge
operators on intercoastal waterways and rivers. It is also used by marine
vessels in the vicinity of these bridges for navigation and for communicat-
ing with the bridge operators. Note that a limit of 1 Watt is specified for
these channels. See page 27 for additional information.
4. The S/D column on the chart indicates either S (simplex) or D (duplex). Sim-
plex means transmitting and receiving on the same frequency. Only one party
at a time can talk, unlike a telephone. Be sure to say “over” and release your
microphone push-to-talk switch at the end of each transmission. Duplex op-
eration involves the use of one frequency for transmitting and a separate fre-
quency for receiving. On channels specified as duplex on the charts, correct
mode of operation is established automatically by your radio when you select a
channel; you cannot change the mode. And you still must release the push-to-
talk switch after each transmission in order to listen to the radio.
5. Channels normally used by recreational boaters are those that include the
term “non-commercial” in the Channel Use column of the chart. Some of
these are shared with other users and some are used only in certain geo-
graphic regions.
6. Marine vessels equipped with VHF radios are required to monitor Channel 16.
