INSTALLATION NOTE
Installation:
The installation of this equipment should be made in such a
manner as to respect the EC recommended electromagnetic
eld exposure limits. (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 efciency 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.
iii
New2001
WARNING
Icom 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 Radius
THE 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
iv
New2001
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
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 admissible
ON 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.

DRadio licenses
(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
government agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license
application. This government-issued license states the call
sign which is your craft’s identication 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
regulations 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 regulations.
NOTE: Even though the transceiver is capable of operation
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.

■About AIS
AIS (The automatic identication 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 Classes
There 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
classied as requiring a Class A unit, choose to install a
Class B unit to avoid accidents at sea.

These settings help you nd a dangerous target to avoid a
collision. 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 Warn
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
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. The Slow Warn function operates in
the same way if your vessel is at anchor and other vessels
enter your alarm zone area.
