END OF LIFE STATEMENT
Disposal
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive aims to minimise
any adverse impact of electronic equipment on the environment, both during the
product lifetime and when it becomes waste. Within the European Union this
legislation is mandated by Directive 2002/96/EC, and there is similar legislation in
most other continents. The directive applies to all electronic products such as IT,
household appliances, portable electronics etc., and imposes requirements to
collect, treat, recover and recycle each product at its end of life. Electronic end-
user products must also carry a WEEE label (as below) and recovery and recycling
information has to be provided to the recycler.
This product contains traces of lithium in the battery pack. In addition it may
contain lead and brominated flame retardants (BFRs), both in the housing
material and circuit boards. In keeping with the directive, Orolia Ltd strongly
recommends that this product and its battery pack be disposed of in a sensible
and considerate manner. For example, do not simply discard the product in the
domestic waste. Instead take it to a civil recycling facility, or contact Orolia Ltd for
advice.
This device complies with the GMDSS provisions of part 80 of the FCC rules.
EC Declaration of Conformity
Hereby Orolia Ltd declares that this product is in compliance with the essential
requirements and other relevant provisions of the Marine Equipment Directive
(MED) – 96/98/EC A copy of the Declaration Of Conformity can be obtained on line

Precautions
Avoid water and salt in the I/O connector and keep it
clean frequently.
Only use original battery packs. Make sure they are
clean and dry before attaching the transceiver. Be
careful not to damage any gaskets.
Only use the original charger for the rechargeable
battery.
Be very careful when handling the Lithium batteries.
With correct use they are safe but any misuse might
cause dangerous situations.
Never short circuit the battery terminals, never expose
the transceiver and the batteries to extreme temperature
or fire and never use any kind of violence.
Avoid close contact between the antenna and parts of
the human body. The top of the antenna must never be
closer than 5 cm to the body when transmitting.
Do not submerge the transceiver more than 1 m for 30
minutes.
Keep the transceiver at least 0.3 m away from the
magnetic compass.
0709
v
Training information
McMurdo R5 GMDSS VHF is designed for "occupational use only". It must be
operated by licensed personnel only.
The R5 complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for "Occupational Use Only".
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, evaluating compliance with FCC guidelines
for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1) IEEE standard for safety levels
with respect to human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields,
3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3) IEEE recommended practice for
the measurement of potentially hazardous electromagnetic fields - RF and
microwaves.
Correct use
For best performance, hold the radio vertically and 10 cm away from the head
when talking into the microphone.
Warning! Your VHF radio generates electromagnetic RF (radio
frequency) energy when transmitting. To ensure that you are
not exposed to excessive amounts of energy and thus to avoid
health hazards from excessive exposure to RF energy, all
persons must be at least 5 cm away from the antenna when the
radio is transmitting.

Introduction
Your GMDSS VHF
Your portable VHF transceiver, is approved to
fulfil the GMDSS requirements for portable VHF
radios for Safety at Sea and is waterproof to the
IP67 standard.
As part of the required safety equipment, the R5 is
to be used in an emergency situation. However
the best way to guarantee functionality in an
emergency situation, is to use the radio in daily
communication on board.
The unique battery concept makes the radio
suited for both daily use and emergency
situations. The primary emergency battery is to
be stored for emergency situations and a
secondary rechargeable battery can be used for
daily communication in your new portable VHF
transceiver.
The radio is designed with a unique man
machine interface, an excellent grip even with
gloves, and large tactile buttons.
The display has red adjustable backlight which
makes the display visible even at night.
The radio is equipped with a lanyard and a belt
clip.

Installing the charger
Mounting the charger
There are several options for mounting one or more chargers on a table
or a wall.
For information on dimensions and screw positions, refer to Dimensional
drawing, chargers on page 31.
When mounting the charger, make sure it is placed in a dry place and
away from direct sunlight. The charger is not waterproof.
Connecting to power
The charger can be supplied with DC or AC.
DC: Connect the 12-24VDC Connection Cable between the DC supply and
the connector on the underside of the charger.
AC: Connect the AC/DC adapter to the connector on the underside of the
charger. Then connect the AC/DC adapter to the AC outlet.
Recharging the secondary battery
To recharge the secondary battery, place the radio with battery or the
battery alone in the front position of the charger cradle.
If the radio cannot turn on due to completely discharged battery, then
turn off the radio and place it in the charger or charge the battery alone.
The light indicators on the charger cradle show the status as follows:
• Green light: Power is connected to the charger.
• Slow red flash: Charging in progress.
Important Do not attempt to recharge the yellow primary battery!

Equipment and accessories
External equipment
The R5 VHF radio accessory connector can support remote handset or
headset connection. Contact the suppler of the accessory device for
detailed connection information.
When external equipment is connected
to the radio, the right side of the display
will show a headset.
Impact on radio operation
The external equipment can have a
built-in PTT button, speaker and microphone. Thus a connection has per
default the following impact on the radio operation:
• If a speaker or earpiece is built into the detected external equipment,
the sound device of the external equipment is used, and the internal
radio speaker is disabled.
• The external accessory microphone is selected as audio input device,
when the external PTT button is pressed. The transceiver microphone
is used as audio input device when the transceiver PTT button is
pressed.
• This behaviour can be changed in the service tool.

Battery life guidelines
Primary battery (non-rechargeable)
The primary non-rechargeable battery pack is capable of providing
sufficient power for the specified 8 hours according to regulations.
The battery is marked with an expiry date. Replace the battery at or
before this date.
To ensure a long lifetime keep the battery in the store position in the
charger and avoid high temperature and direct sunlight.
Secondary battery (rechargeable)
During daily use, always keep the battery fully charged and away from
hot areas.
Keep the battery terminals dry and clean.
Never discharge beyond the specifications of the battery.
Operation/Standby time depends on usage. Generally, the more the radio
is transmitting, the faster it will drain the battery. Also, the “Hi” power
setting will drain the battery faster than the “Lo” setting.
Approximate figures are:
• A battery can be stored for 4 to 6 month at 25°C if charged to 25%.
• The battery will normally last for 5 to 9 hours of use on a fully
charged battery.
Note New batteries should be placed in the charger for minimum 12
hours first time.
