(1999/519/EC)The maximum RF power available from this device is 25 watts. The antenna should be installed as high as possible for maximum efciency and the installation height should be at least 1.76 meters above any accessible position. In the case where an antenna cannot be installed at a reasonable height, then the transmitter should neither be continuously operated for long periods if any person is within a distance of 1.76 meters of the antenna, nor operated at all if any person is touching the antenna.It is recommended that antenna of a maximum gain of 3 dB is used. If higher gain antenna are required then please contact your Icom distributor for revised installation recommendations.Operation:The exposure to RF electromagnetic eld is only applicable when this device is transmitting. This exposure is naturally reduced due to the nature of alternating periods of receiving and transmitting. Keep your transmissions to the minimum necessary.
iiiNew2001WARNINGIcom 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 eld 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.RADIO OPERATOR WARNING
ivNew2001Icom 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 xée à une distance minimale de 5 mètres (mesurée depuis le point le plus bas de l'antenne) verticalement 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 xée 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 maximale 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 maximale admissible xé par la FCC.LE NON-RESPECT DE CES LIMITES PEUT CAUSER, POUR LES PERSONNES SITUÉES DANS LE RAYON D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE 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 RAYON D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE.Établir le rayon d'exposition maximale admissibleON ESTIME QUE LE RAYON D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE EST D'ENVIRON 3 M, TEL QUE STIPULÉ DANS LE BULLETIN OET 65 DE LA FCC. CETTE DISTANCE ESTIMÉE TIENT COMPTE D'UN SYSTÈME INSTALLÉ SUR UN NAVIRE UTILISANT LA PUISSANCE MAXIMALE DE LA RADIO ET DES ANTENNES DONT LE GAIN MAXIMAL EST DE 9dBi.AVERTISSEMENT POUR LES OPÉRATEURS RADIOAVERTISSEMENT

8080AIS RECEIVER10 ■About AISAIS (The automatic identication system) is primarily used for collision-risk management and navigation safety. It automatically 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 ClassesThere are 7 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:• Upwards of 300 gross tonnage engaged on international voyages.• Passenger vessels, irrespective of size, engaged on international voyages.• Upwards of 500 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 classied as requiring a Class A unit, choose to install a Class B unit to avoid accidents at sea.Other vessel(Class A AIS)Other vessel(Class B AIS)Vessel InformationYour vessel(Class B AIS)Base Station

The icon blinks on the plotter display and/or the alarm buzzer sounds, when the AIS target is closer than your CPA and TCPA settings. z Rotate [CH/ENT] or push [Y]/[Z] to set the value. • CPA: Set between 0.1 and 6.0 nm (in 0.1 nm steps) (default: 1.5 nm) • TCPA: Set between 1 and 60 minutes (in 1 minute steps) (default: 20 min)• Slow WarnThe GPS receiver calculated COG data of a vessel that is atanchor or drifting is unreliable, and therefore the CPA and TCPA data may not be calculated correctly. If a vessel is anchored 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 xed towards your vessel and an alarm will sound. z Rotate [CH/ENT] or push [Y]/[Z] to set the value between 0.1 and 4.9 kt (in 0.1 kt steps), or select OFF. (default: 1.0 kt)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 Danger List (p. 84), and then re-enters the list, can a new Slow Warn or regular alarm sound, depending on the vessels SOG, or CPA and TCPA.
