RADIO OPERATOR WARNING

WARNING

Icom requires the radio operator to meet the

FCC Requirements for Radio Frequency Expo-

sure. An omnidirectional antenna with gain not

greater than 9 dBi must be mounted a mini-

mum 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 com-

pliance 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 verti-

cally 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 al-

lowable 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 EXPO-

SURE 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 Radius

THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) RA-

DIUS 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 MAXI-

MUM GAIN OF 9dBi ARE USED FOR A SHIP MOUNTED

SYSTEM.

AVERTISSEMENT POUR LES OPÉRATEURS RADIO

Icom exige que l'opérateur radio se conforme aux

exigences de la FCC en matière d'exposition aux

radiofréquences. Une antenne omnidirectionnelle

dont le gain ne dépasse pas 9dBi doit être ﬁxée

à une distance minimale de 5 mètres (mesurée

depuis le point le plus bas de l'antenne) verticale-

ment au-dessus du pont principal et de tout le personnel qui peut

s'y trouver. Il s'agit de la distance de sécurité minimale prévue pour

satisfaire aux exigences de conformité en matière d'exposition aux

RF. Cette distance de 5 mètres est établie en fonction de l'exposition

maximale admissible sécuritaire de 3 mètres établie par la FCC, à

laquelle on ajoute la hauteur d'un adulte (2 mètres); cette distance

convient pour tous les navires.

Dans le cas des embarcations sans structure convenable, l'antenne

doit être ﬁxée de façon à maintenir une distance minimale de 1 mètre

verticalement entre cette antenne (mesurée depuis son point le plus

bas) et la tête de toute personne présente; toutes les personnes

présentes doivent se tenir à l'extérieur d'un rayon d'exposition maxi-

male admissible de 3 mètres.

Ne pas émettre à l'aide de la radio et de l'antenne lorsque des

personnes se trouvent à l'intérieur du rayon d'exposition maximale

admissible de cette antenne, à moins que ces personnes (comme

le conducteur ou l'opérateur radio) ne soient protégées du champ

de l'antenne par un écran métallique relié à la masse. Le rayon

d'exposition maximale admissible équivaut à la distance minimale

que cette personne doit maintenir entre elle et l'axe de l'antenne pour

éviter une exposition aux RF supérieure au niveau d'exposition maxi-

male admissible ﬁxé par la FCC.

LE NON-RESPECT DE CES LIMITES PEUT CAUSER, POUR LES

PERSONNES SITUÉES DANS LE RAYON D'EXPOSITION MAXI-

MALE ADMISSIBLE, UNE ABSORPTION DE RAYONNEMENT DE

RF SUPÉRIEURE À L'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE

FIXÉE PAR LA FCC.

L'OPÉRATEUR RADIO EST RESPONSABLE D'ASSURER QUE

LES LIMITES D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE SOIENT

RESPECTÉES EN TOUT TEMPS PENDANT LA TRANSMISSION

RADIO. L'OPÉRATEUR RADIO DOIT S'ASSURER QU'AUCUNE

PERSONNE PRÉSENTE NE SE SITUE À L'INTÉRIEUR DU RAY-

ON D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE.

Établir le rayon d'exposition maximale admissible

ON ESTIME QUE LE RAYON D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMIS-

SIBLE EST D'ENVIRON 3 M, TEL QUE STIPULÉ DANS LE BUL-

LETIN OET 65 DE LA FCC. CETTE DISTANCE ESTIMÉE TIENT

COMPTE D'UN SYSTÈME INSTALLÉ SUR UN NAVIRE UTILISANT

DONT LE GAIN MAXIMAL EST DE 9dBi.

outlet. This may pose a ﬁre hazard or result in an electric shock.

RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a pow-

er source of more than 13V 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.

#!54)/. .%6%2

place the transceiver where normal

operation of the vessel may be hindered or where it could

cause bodily injury.

KEEP the transceiver and microphone at least 1 m away

from the vessel’s magnetic navigation compass.

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-

peratures below –20°C (–4°F) or above +60°C (+140°F) 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.

DO NOT disassemble or modify the transceiver for any rea-

son.

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 children.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver meet IPX8 requirements

and the optional HM-195 COMMANDMICIV™ meet IPX7 re-

quirements for waterproof protection. However, once the

transceiver has been dropped, waterproof protection cannot

be guaranteed because of possible damage to the transceiv-

er’s case or the waterproof seal.

Radio licenses D

(1) SHIP STATION LICENSE

You may require a current radio station license before using

the transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship station which is

not licensed, but required to be.

If required, contact your dealer or the appropriate govern-

ment 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 LICENSE

A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license

most often held by small vessel radio operators when a radio

is not required for safety purposes.

If required, the Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit

must be posted or kept with the operator. If required, only a

licensed radio operator may operate a transceiver.

However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a transceiver

if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends the call and

makes the necessary log entries.

A current copy of the applicable government rules and regu-

lations is only required to be on hand for vessels in which

a radio telephone is compulsory. However, even if you are

not required to have these on hand it is your responsibility to

be thoroughly acquainted with all pertinent rules and regula-

tions.

./4%Even though the transceiver is capable of opera-

tion on VHF marine channels 3, 21, 23, 61, 64, 81, 82 and

83, according to FCC regulations these simplex channels

cannot be lawfully used by the general population in USA

waters.

SCAN OPERATION

Scan types N

Scanning is an efﬁcient way to locate signals quickly over a

wide frequency range. The transceiver has a Priority scan

and a Normal scan.

When the Weather Alert function is turned ON, the weather

channel is also checked while scanning. (p. 98)

Set the Favorite channels (scanned channel) before scan-

ning. Clear the Favorite channels which inconveniently stop

scanning, such as those for digital communication use. (Refer

to the next page for details.)

Choose Priority or Normal scan in the Menu screen. (p.

)

PRIORITY SCAN

The Priority scan sequentially searches through all Favor-

ite channels while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is

detected on Channel 16, the scan pauses until the signal

disappears. When a signal is detected on a channel other

than Channel 16, the scan becomes a Dualwatch until the

signal disappears.

NORMAL SCAN

The Normal scan, like the Priority scan, sequentially

searches through all Favorite channels. However, unlike

the Priority scan, Channel 16 is not checked unless it is set

as a Favorite channel.

D Programming scrambler codes

There are 32 codes (1 to 32) available for programming. Set

the code in the SET mode. In order to understand each other,

all transceivers in your group must have the same scramble

code, as well as the same scrambler unit. See page 98 for

scrambler code setting details.

Voice recorder function N

This transceiver has automatic recording function which can

record the last 120 seconds of the receiving signal.

This voice recorder uses EEPROM to save the recorded

voice data. EEPROM needs to be changed when it is used

more than 30,000 hours. Contact your Icom dealer or distrib-

uter for advice.

About AIS N

AIS (The automatic identiﬁcation system) used primarily for

collision-risk management and navigation safety. It automati-

cally transmits and receives vessel information such as the

vessel name, MMSI code, vessel type, position data, speed,

course, destination and more. Information is exchanged

among the vessels and/or base stations on the VHF maritime

mobile band. The information helps to identify other nearby

vessels or stations by displaying the received data on

a plotter or a radar screen.

AIS Classes N

There are seven types of AIS stations; vessels, base stations,

Search and Rescue (SAR), Aids to Navigation (AtoN), Search

and Rescue Transmitter (AIS-SART), MOB (Man OverBoard)

and EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon)-

AIS.

There are two classes of AIS units, which are installed on

vessels; Class A and Class B.

Under the Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS) convention, all

SOLAS vessels, as described below, are required to install a

Class A AIS transponder:

s5PWARDS OF  GROSS TONNAGE ENGAGED ON INTERNATIONAL-

tional voyages.

s5PWARDSOFGROSSTONNAGENOTENGAGEDONINTERNATIONAL

voyages.

A Class B AIS transponder is designed to be interoperability

with Class A units, but not to impact the Class A network.

Many commercial vessels, and some leisure craft, not clas-

siﬁed as requiring a Class A unit, choose to install a Class B

unit to avoid accidents at sea.

AIS Receiver (Depending on versions)

s3LOW7ARN

The GPS receiver calculated COG data of a vessel that is at

anchor or drifting is unreliable, and therefore the CPA and

TCPA data may not be calculated correctly. If a vessel is an-

chored in your alarm zone, the unreliable data can cause the

collision alarm to sound many times, even if there is no real

danger. To prevent this, when the anchored vessel’s SOG is

less than this set value, the Slow Warn function assumes that

vessel’s COG is ﬁxed towards your vessel and an alarm will

sound.

Push [Y](CH) or [Z](CH) to input the value between 0.1

and 4.9 kt (in 0.1 kt steps), or select OFF. (default: 1.0 kt)

w Push [ENT] to save and return to the Menu mode.

NOTE: If other vessels at anchor or drifting come into your

alarm zone, the Slow Warn alarm will sound again. Only if

the previous vessel disappears from the Dangerous List

(p. 82), and then re-enters the list, can a new Slow Warn

or regular alarm sound, depending on the vessels SOG,

or CPA and TCPA. The Slow Warn function operates in the

same way if your vessel is at anchor and other vessels

enter your alarm zone area.
