VHF Marine Two-Way Radio RCA Communications Systems Foreword Thank you for purchasing this company marine transceiver, you will find the professional and human oriented design of the transceiver during use. Read all instructions carefully and completely before using the transceiver. It is an abundant is a powerful marine radio, it id designed on IMO (International Maritime Organization) resolution. As adopting advance waterproof technology, the transceiver is with good waterproof, floating and flash functions. CAUTION NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet, this may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock. DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below -15℃ or above +55℃. KEEP the transceiver at least 1meter away from your vessel's nagentic navigation compass. BE CAREFUL, the transceiver meats IP-X7 requirements for waterproof protection.However,once the transceiver has been dropped,waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to the transceiver's case or the waterproof seal. ◎MAKE SURE the flexible antenna and battery cover are securely attached to the transceiver,and that antenna and battery cover are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to water will result in serious damage to the transceiver. Recommendation Clean the transceiver thoroughly with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, and dry it before operating. Otherwise, the transceiver's key, switches and controllers may become unusable due to salt crystallization. NOTE:DO NOT submerge the transceiver in water if there is any reason to suspect the waterproof protection may not be effective. for example, in cases where the battery cover or DC Jack cap rubber seal is damaged,the transceiver/battery cover/DC Jack cap is cracked or broken , or the transceiver has been dropped, or when the battery cover, antenna or DC Jack cap are detached from the transceiver. Features Floats on Water The transceiver floats in fresh or salt water even when the supplied accessories are attached. When a third-party battery pack, strap, antenna, etc. is used , it may sink. Floats and Flashes An LED sends out intermittent light from a transparent section on the bottom of the radios, while floating in the water. As the LED light stands out in the dark ( like a flashing fishing float), the radio can be easily retrieved from the water. This function works even when the radios is turned OFF.

WARNING This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions, where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to remain below RF exposure limits. This radio is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any other use. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RCA Communications Systems could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. CAUTION This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses RF energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, electric power, sunlight, and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which, when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material. Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop standards for exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of protection. All two-way radios marketed in North America are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government-established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. Refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html http://www.osha.gov./SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html Important Information Federal Communications Commission Regulations Before it was marketed in the United States, the Digital portable radio was tested to ensure compliance with FCC RF energy exposure limits for two-way portable radios. When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a label directing users to specific user awareness information. The radio has an RF exposure product label. Also, the Product Safety Manual and this Operator’s Manual include information and operating instructions required to control RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements. Operation Safety Recommendations Occupational Safety Guidelines And Safety Training Information To ensure bodily exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use. Always adhere to the following basic guidelines: • The push-to-talk button should only be depressed when intending to send a voice message. • The radio should only be used for necessary work-related communications. • The radio should only be used by authorized and trained personnel. It should never be operated by children. • Do not attempt any unauthorized modification to the radio. Changes or modifications to the radio may cause harmful interference and/or cause it to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. Only qualified personnel should service the radio. • Always use only authorized accessories (antennas, control heads, speakers/mics, etc.). Use of unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The information listed above provides the user with information needed to make him or her aware of a RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC exposure limits of this radio.
