3 1. GETTING STARTED 1.1 Emergency Call (CH16) CH16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. When an emergency occurs, be sure the radio is on and set to CH16. Then do as follows: Step 1 Press the Push-To-Talk (PTT) key of the microphone or handset and say "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday. This is XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX" (your vessel's name). Step 2 Then repeat once: "Mayday, XXXXX" (your vessel's name). Step 3 Report your position in latitude/longitude, or give a true or magnetic bearing to a well-known landmark such as a navigation aid or geographic feature such as an island or harbor entry. Step 4 Report the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, fire, piracy, life-threatening injury, etc.). Step 5 State the kind of assistance you desire (pumps, medical aid, etc.). Step 6 Report the number of persons aboard and condition of them. Step 7 Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel. Step 8 Give your vessel's description: length, design (power or sail), color and other distinguishing marks. Step 9 Say "over" to end the message. Release the PTT switch and listen. Step 10 Optional: If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no response, try another channel. Note  The total transmission should be within one minute.  The FM-4800 has DSC Distress calling, which can send a distress call digitally to all ships with compatible DSC radios. For more information, see section 4 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING.  If the emergency call is accidentally sent, please refer to "Sending a distress cancel call" in paragraph 4.3.1. 1.2 How to Call another Channel (CH16 or CH9) CH16 (or CH9, depending on area) should be used as the calling channel for initial contact with another vessel. However, its primary purpose is for emergency communications and should be monitored at all times when the radio is not using other channels. CH16 or CH9 is monitored by other vessels and Coast Guard stations in all countries. The use of CH16 or CH9 should be limited to making initial contact only. A call
4 should be within 1 minute, but can be repeated at a 2-minute interval. Before contact another vessel, refer to the channel charts in the Appendix and select a proper channel (working channel) for use after initial contact. Monitor the proposed channel to ensure you won't be interrupting other traffic and then go back to CH16 to make your initial call. When CH16 is clear, state the name of the vessel you wish to call and the "this is" followed by the name of your vessel and your vessel 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 vessel. After a transmission, say "over", and release the PTT switch on the microphone. When all communication with the vessel is completed, end the last transmission by stating your call sign and the word "out". Note that you do not need 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. 1.3 Channels 13 and 67 (USA Channel Group only) Channel 13 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. Channel 67 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 emergency situations it may be temporarily use a higher power. See section 2 CONTROLS for how to temporarily override the low-power limit on these two channels.

12 4. DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING 4.1 General Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is a semi-automated method to establish 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). DSC replaces listening watches on distress frequencies and is used to broadcast routine and urgent maritime safety information broadcasts. This system allows mariners to instantly transmit a distress call with GNSS position to the Coast Guard and other vessels within the range of the transmission. DSC also allows mariners to initiate or receive distress, urgency, safety, routine, position request, position transmit, and group calls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSC radio. 4.2 Maritime Mobile Service Identity 4.2.1 What Is an MMSI? An MMSI is a nine-digit number used on marine radios capable of using DSC. This number is used like a telephone number to selectively call other vessels. Note To use the DSC functions, this vessel’s MMSI must be entered into the radio. 4.2.2 How to Enter Your MMSI Number Caution An MMSI can be entered only once. Therefore, be careful not to enter the wrong MMSI number. If you need to change the MMSI number after it has been entered, contact your dealer. Step 1 Press the Menu/DSC control until the "MAIN MENU" appears. Step 2 Go to "DSC SETUP > SET MMSI". Step 3 Enter you MMSI number (nine digits). If you enter a wrong digit, press the BACK key until the wrong digit is selected, and then enter the correct digit. Step 4 After you enter the MMSI number, press the Menu/DSC control to save the number. Step 5 Enter the MMSI number again, and then press the Menu/DSC control to save the number.
13 4.3 DSC Distress Call FM-4800 can send and receive DSC distress calls. When FM-4800 receives GNSS signals, FM-4800 can also transmit the latitude and longitude of the vessel together with the DSC distress call. 4.3.1 How to Initiate a DSC Distress Call Note To transmit a DSC distress call, this vessel’s MMSI number must be entered into the radio. For information about how to enter the MMSI number, see section 4.2.2 How to Enter Your MMSI Number. Initiate a DSC distress call without specifying the nature of distress The FM-4800 can transmit a DSC distress call without specifying the following natural of distress categories: Undesignated, Fire, Flooding, Collision, Grounding, Listing, Sinking, Adrift, Abandoning, Piracy, and MOB (Man Overboard). Step 1 Open the cover labeled "DISTRESS". Step 2 Press and hold the Distress key (about 4 seconds). The unit beeps and the display shows the time remaining until the distress signal is sent. After the distress signal is sent, the radio waits for an acknowledgement with the display showing "AWAIT ACK". If no acknowledgement is received, the distress signal is repeated at 3.5-to-4.5-minute intervals, until a DSC acknowledgement is received. Step 3 When you receive the DSC acknowledgement, select "ACCEPT". If the radio does not stay on CH16, you need to select "Accept".
14 If the radio already stays on CH16, skip this step. Step 4 Press and hold the PTT key to announce your situation on CH16. Initiate a DSC distress call with the nature of distress specified The FM-4800 is capable of transmitting a DSC distress call with the following distress categories: Undesignated, Fire, Flooding, Collision, Grounding, Listing, Sinking, Adrift, Abandoning, Piracy, and MOB (Man Overboard). Step 1 Open the cover labeled "DISTRESS". Step 2 Short-press the Distress key. The "DISTRESS" screen appears. Step 3 Select "NATURE". The "NATURE" screen appears.

102 15.4.2 Antenna Requirements for the antenna Any good quality antenna that meets the requirements shown below can be used.  Frequency range: 155 to 164 MHz  Impedance: 50 ohms  Polarization: Vertical  Handling power: 30 W or more  Quality: Withstand the marine environment Installation location The location and installation of different antennas on a ship is important to ensure effective communications. Incorrectly installed antennas will degrade performance of the radio equipment and reduce the range of communications. Select the location for the antenna considering the following points.  VHF antennas should be placed in a position which is as elevated and free as possible, with at least 2 meters horizontal separation from constructions made by conductive materials.  Ideally there should not be more than one antenna on the same level.  The location of mandatory VHF antennas should be given priority compared with mobile telephone antennas. If they are located on the same level, the distance between them should be at least 5 meters.  Isolate the antenna from all metallic parts of the ship.  Current will overflow if the antenna touches any metal part of the ship. Fabricating the Antenna Connector Step 1 Strip the RG58 cable according to the dimension in the following figure. Step 2 Put the antenna connector on the cable orderly. Step 3 Hold the flange between the insulation and the shield. Step 4 Tighten the nut. Step 5 Solder the connector and core.
103 Wiring Step 1 Remove the antenna connector cover on the rear back of the unit. Step 2 Insert the antenna cable into the antenna connector. Step 3 Tighten the antenna hand tight. Step 4 Secure the cable with the electrical cable. Waterproofing the Connection Step 1 Take the Self-bonding tape in the length of about 100 mm.
104 Step 2 Connect the UHF antenna to the radio and tighten it clockwise. Step 3 Slightly stretch one end of the Self-bonding tape and wind it clockwise on the antenna head. Step 4 Wrap around the cable. 15.4.3 Ground Cable Step 1 Loosen the screw on the rear back of the unit. Step 2 Place the grounding wire on the screw. Step 3 Tighten the screw again. 15.4.4 Power Cable Step 1 Remove the outer sheath at one end of the cable on the unit.
105 Step 2 Referring to the figure below, place heat shrink tubes on the wires, and then solder the connection point. Step 3 Move the heat shrink tubes to the soldered connection, and then apply heat to the tubes. Step 4 Secure the cable with electrical tape.
106 15.4.5 NMEA2000 Connector (CAN bus connector) CAN bus is a communication protocol that shares multiple data and signals through a single backbone cable. You can simply connect any CAN bus devices onto the backbone cable to expand your network onboard. With CAN bus, Ids are assigned to all the devices in the network, and the status of each sensor in the network can be detected. All the CAN bus devices can be incorporated into the NMEA2000 network. For detailed information about CAN bus wiring, see “Furuno CAN bus Network Design Guide” (Type : TIE-00170) on Tech-Net), or contact your dealer. 15.4.6 Extension Cable (Optional) Step 1 Drill a round or square hole on the ship panel. The diameter of the hole ranges from 23.5 mm to 25 mm. Step 2 Thread the extended cable through the hole.
107 Step 3 Place the seal, cable holder, and waterproof cover sequentially around the extended cable. Step 4 Fasten the nut. Step 5 Fasten the three tapping screws.
