iiNew2001IN CASE OF EMERGENCYIf your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels and the Coast Guard by sending a Distress call on Channel 16.USING CHANNEL 16DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE1.  “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY.”2.  “THIS IS ...............” (name of vessel)3.   Your call sign or other indication of the vessel (AND 9-digit DSC ID if you have one).4.  “LOCATED AT ...............” (your position)5.   The nature of the distress and assistance required.6.   Any other information which might facilitate the rescue.Or, transmit your Distress call using digital selective calling on Channel 70.USING DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (Ch 70)DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE1.   While lifting up the key cover, hold down [DISTRESS] for 5 seconds until you hear 5 short beeps change to one long beep.2.   Wait for an acknowledgment on Channel 70 from a coast station. •Aftertheacknowledgementisreceived,Channel16isautomatically selected.3.   Hold  down  [PTT], then transmit the appropriate information as listed above.NOTEA WARNING STICKER is supplied with the transceiver.To comply with FCC regulations, this sticker must be affixed insuch a location as to be readily seen from the operating controls of the radio as in the diagram below. Make sure the chosen location is clean and dry before applying the sticker.  (p. 36)EXAMPLEWARNING STICKER
iiiNew2001RADIO OPERATOR WARNINGWARNINGIcom requires the radio operator to meet the FCC Requirements for Radio Frequency Exposure. An omnidirectional antenna with gain not greater than 9 dBi must be mounted a minimum of 5 meters (measured from the lowest point of the antenna) vertically above the main deck and all possible personnel. This is the minimum safe separation distance estimated to meet all RF exposure compliance requirements. This 5 meter distance is based on the FCC Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) distance of 3 meters added to the height of an adult (2 meters) and is appropriate for all vessels.For watercraft without suitable structures, the antenna must be mounted so as to maintain a minimum of 1 meter vertically between the antenna, (measured from the lowest point of the antenna), to the heads of all persons AND all persons must stay outside of the 3 meter MPE radius.Do not transmit with radio and antenna when persons are within the MPE radius of the antenna, unless such persons (such as driver or radio operator) are shielded from antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance from the antenna axis that person should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable MPE level set by FCC.FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW THOSE WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF RADIATION ABSORPTION WHICH EXCEEDS THE FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT.IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RADIO OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING RADIO TRANSMISSION. THE RADIO OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS COME WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.Determining MPE RadiusTHE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) RADIUS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE A RADIUS OF ABOUT 3M PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE FCC.THIS ESTIMATE IS MADE ASSUMING THE MAXIMUM POWER OF THE RADIO AND ANTENNAS WITH A MAXIMUM GAIN OF 9dBi ARE USED FOR A SHIP MOUNTED SYSTEM.

vNew2001RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this device under FCC regulations.RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC or use reverse polarity. This will ruin the transceiver.RWARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug at the back of the transceiver and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged.CAUTION: NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vessel may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.CAUTION: KEEP the transceiver at least 3.3 ft (1 m) away from the ship’s navigation compass.DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-peratures below –4°F (–20°C) or above +140°F (+60°C), or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol to clean the transceiver, as they will damage the transceiver’s surfaces. If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.BE CAREFUL! The transceiver rear panel will become hot when operating continuously for long periods of time.Place the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by childrenBE CAREFUL! The transceiver employs waterproof construction, which corresponds to IPX7 of the international standard IEC 60529 (2001). However, once the transceiver has been dropped, waterproofing cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that the case may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, etc.Approved Icom optional equipment is designed for optimal performance when used with an Icom transceiver.Icom is not responsible for the destruction or damage to an Icom transceiver in the event the Icom transceiver is used with equipment that is not manufactured or approved by Icom.PRECAUTIONS

It is unlawful to operate a ship station which is not licensed.Inquire through your dealer or the appropriate government agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license application. This government-issued license states the call sign which is your craft’s identification for radio purposes.(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSEA Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license most often held by small vessel radio operators when a radio is not required for safety purposes.The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must be posted or kept with the operator. Only a licensed radio op-erator may operate a transceiver.However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a trans-ceiver if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends the call and makes the necessary log entries.Keep a copy of the current government rules and regulations handy.1Radio license for boaters (U.S.A. only)The Telecommunications Act of 1996 permits recreational boaters to have and use a VHF marine radio, EPIRB, and marine radar without having an FCC ship station license. Boaters traveling on international voyages, having an HF single sideband radiotelephone or marine satellite terminal, or required to carry a marine radio under any other regulation must still carry an FCC ship station license. For further information, see the FCC Ship Radio Stations Fact Sheet.
