VHF Marine Two-Way Radio
TO USER:
Thank you for purchasing this marine radio. You will find
the professional and human oriented design of the transceiver during use. Please read all instructions carefully
and completely before using the transceiver.
CAUTION
 Never use the Distress call when your ship or a person is not in
an emergency.
 Do not use or place the transceiver in areas with heat, humidity
and dust.
 The working voltage for the transceiver is 13.8V. If the power
source is 24V, please use a power converter (24V convert to
13.8V), or the transceiver won’t work.
 Never directly connect to AC220V, this will ruin the transceiver.
If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the transceiver, turn off the power immediately.
 Do not transmit before connecting the antenna, this will ruin the
transceiver.
 After long time use, the heating panel becomes hot, that is normal state.

The scan resume timer can be selected as a pause (OFF) or timer scan (ON).
When OFF is selected, the scan pauses until the signal disappears. When ON is
selected, the scan pauses 5 sec. and resumes even if a signal has been received
on any other channel than Channel 16.
Set mode operation
1. Turn power OFF.
2. While pushing [16], turn power ON to enter Set mode.
3. After the display appears, release [16].
 “SCAN” appears at the channel comment indicator.

5. Push [▲] or [▼] to select the desired condition of the item.
6. Turn power OFF, then ON again to exit Set mode.
No.
The transceiver has 2 scan types: Normal scan and Priority scan. Normal scan
searches all TAG channels in the selected channel group. Priority scan searches
all TAG channels in sequence while monitoring Channel 16.
n- (normal
scan)
A NOAA broadcast station transmits a weather alert tone before important
weather information. When the weather alert function is turned ON, the transceiver detects the alert, then the “WX ALT” indicator blinks until the transceiver is
operated. The previously selected (used) weather channel is checked any time
while scanning.
 “WX ALT” appears instead of “WX” indication when the function is set
ON.
 Dual / Tri-watch
This item can be selected as Dualwatch or Tri-watch.
 DSC watch
DSC watch monitors Channel 70 while you are receiving another channel.
If a distress signal is received on Channel 70, the transceiver monitors Channel
16 and 70 alternately until the distress signal disappears. If a signal is received
on another channel, DSC watch pauses until the signal disappears.
 This function may not be available for some channel groups depending
on dealer setting.
 “DSC WATCH” scrolls at the channel comment indicator.
 Beep tone
You can select silent operation by turning beep tones OFF or you can have confirmation beeps sound at the push of a key by turning beep tones ON.
 Automatic acknowledgement
This item sets the Automatic acknowledgement function ON or OFF.
When Position Request call or Position Report call is received, transceiver automatically transmits Position Request Reply call or Position Report Reply call,
respectively.
 “AUTO ACK” scrolls at the channel comment indicator.
 Favorite channel
This item sets the Favorite channel function ON or OFF.
The favorite channel is programmed by the TAG channel setting.
When the Favorite channel function is turned ON, [▲] or [▼] keys on the microphone select the favorite channels in the selected channel group in sequence
when pushed.“FAVORITE CH” scrolls at the channel comment indicator.
Operational Instructions and Training Guidelines
To ensure optimal performance and compliance with the General Public (Uncontrolled Environment) RF energy exposure limits in the above standards and guidelines,
users should transmit not more than 50% of the time and always adhere to the following procedures:
● The antenna must be installed complying with the requirements of manufacturer or supplier,
and it must be at least 1.5 meters away from human body.
Antenna Gain=3.00dBi for model No.:TQJ-GB-3-159.5V
Antenna Gain=3.50dBi for model No.:MA-F-3.5-162V-09A(MA-F09A)

 TROUBLESHOOTING
Issues described in the following table are some common operational failure. These types of errors are generally due to improperly connected, the operation caused by incorrect
settings, or operator error caused due to incomplete programming. These problems are usually not caused by circuit failure. Before suspect intercom failure, please refer to the
relevant parts of these forms and the instructions for use.
Question
Possible Cause
Solutions
Reference page
1.the power cable is connected well.
2. the power cable fuse broken.
3. the voltage exceeds 17V or below 9V.
1, check the power cable is connected correctly: red (+); black (-).
2, then find the cause of blown fuse, replace the fuse current to 15A.
3, adjust the power supply is 13.8V.
Unable to connect with GPS.
1. connection error.
2. different external GPS format.
1, check the connections are correct.
2, external GPS format should be NMEA0183-2.0.
Can not be scanned.
Not set mark channels (TAG).
The channel you want to scan is set to mark channels.
