8InstallationCaution: The OSEANUS DSC will only operate with a nominal 12 voltnegative ground battery system.It is important to carefully determine the most suitable location for yourradio on your vessel. Electrical, mechanical, and environmentalconsiderations must all be taken into account. You should select theoptimum relationship among these considerations.Keep in mind the flexibility designed into the OSEANUS DSC so thatyou can most conveniently use it. Features which should be consideredare:1. The universal mounting bracket may be installed on either the topor bottom of a shelf, on a bulkhead, or for overhead mounting.2. The REMOTE speaker wires can be used with an auxiliaryspeaker.3. All connections are "plug-in" type for easy removal of the radio.4. Front fire internal speaker allows convenient in-dash mountingusing the optional bracket (FMB321).Choosing a LocationSome important factors to consider in selecting the location for yourradio.1. Select a location that is free from spray and splash.2. Keep the battery leads as short as possible. Direct connection tothe battery is most desirable. If direct connection can not bemade with the supplied power lead, any extension should bemade with #10 AWG wire. Long extensions should use largergauge wire.3. Keep the antenna lead as short as possible. Long antenna leadscan cause substantial loss of performance for both receiving andtransmitting.4. Locate your antenna as high as possible and clear from metalobjects. The reliable range of coverage is a direct function of theantenna height.5. Select a location that allows free air flow around the heat sink onthe rear of the radio.6. Select a location well away from the ship’s compass. Auxiliaryspeakers also should be located away from the compass.UT910ZH (OCEANUS) OM 0811 8/11/03 10:45 AM Page 8
9Engine Noise SuppressionInterference from the noise generated by the electrical systems ofengines is sometimes a problem with radios. The OSEANUS DSC hasbeen designed to be essentially impervious to ignition noise andalternator noise. However, in some installations it may be necessary totake measures to further reduce the effect of noise interference. All DCbattery wires, antenna lead, and accessory cables should be routedaway from the engine and engine compartment, and from power cablingcarrying high currents.In severe cases of noise interference, it may be necessary to install anoise suppression kit. Contact your Uniden Dealer for more information.Antenna ConsiderationsA variety of antennas are available from a number of quality suppliers. It is recommended you draw upon the advice of your Uniden dealer indetermining a suitable antenna for your vessel and range requirements.In general, communication range is increased by using a high-gainantenna placed as high as possible above the water line. Antennasshould be located away from metal objects. Antennas should not haveexcessively long coaxial feed cables.Antenna Selection and InstallationOSEANUS DSC radio has been designed to accomodate all of thepopular marine VHF antennas. However, the selection and theinstallation of the antenna is the responsibility of the user or installer.The FCC has determined that excessive radiation poses a health risk topeople near radio transmitting antennas. Therefore, the antenna usedwith this radio should be installed using the following guidelines to insurea suitable distance between the antenna and persons close by.Small whip antennas (3 dB) or smaller should be installed keeping atleast three feet separation distance between the radiating element andpeople.Larger antennas (6 dB or 9 dB) should be installed keeping at least a sixfoot separation distance.No person should touch the antenna or come into the separationdistance when the radio is transmitting.UT910ZH (OCEANUS) OM 0811 8/11/03 10:45 AM Page 9
10Installing the OSEANUS DSCAfter you have carefully considered the various factors affecting yourchoice of location, position the radio (with the bracket, microphone,power cord, antenna and any auxiliary cables installed) into the selectedlocation to assure there is no interference with the surrounding items. Mark the location of the mounting bracket. Remove the bracket from theradio and use it as a template to mark the holes to be drilled for themounting hardware. Drill the holes and mount the bracket withhardware compatible with the material of the mounting surface.Note: This HEXAGON HEAD BOLT isonly for mounting the bracketwith hardware. Do not use it forinstalling the radio in themounting bracket.Connect the red wire of the supplied power cord to the positive (+)battery supply. Connect the black wire of the power cord to the negative(–) battery supply. The power cord is equipped with a fuse to protect theradio. Use only a six (6) ampere fast blow fuse for replacement.Connect the power cord to the keyed connector on the power "pigtail".Connect the antenna and all other auxiliary cables and accessories.Install the radio in the mounting bracket and connect all cables andaccessories to the appropriate jacks and connectors.Note: Do not use any other mountingknobs than the ones enclosed.Do not insert the knobs withoutattaching the bracket.UT910ZH (OCEANUS) OM 0811 8/11/03 10:45 AM Page 10

16Weather AlertThe traditional weather feature receive’s weather broadcast (usuallywithin a 50-mile radius) then sound an alarm of any emergency codewhich was transmitted along with the broadcast. This means thatpeople who live outside an affected area are often alerted even whentheir area is not affected, causing many of them to ignore potentially realemergency/weather warnings that can save lives.In 1994, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)began broadcasting coded signals called FIPS (Federal InformationProcessing System) codes along with their standard weather broadcastsfrom stations in your area. These codes identify an emergency and thespecific geographic area (such as a country) affected by the emergency.The OSEANUS DSC was developed with the SAME (Specific AreaMessage Encoding) technology. This allows your radio to receive,interpret, and display the information about the codes so you candetermine if the emergency might affect your area.Each FIPS code identifies a specific geographic area (defined by theNational Weather Service), so your radio sounds an alert only when anemergency/weather emergency is declared in those locations. Thishelps you more efficiently track the emergency/weather conditions inand around your area.The Weather Alert mode can be activated to alert you of dangerousweather. When Weather Alert is turned On, and a warning signal isreceived, an emergency siren will sound at full volume, regardless of thevolume setting. When the signal stops, you will hear the active weatherchannel broadcast at the normal volume.Note: See SETUP mode to program up to 10 FIPS codes.UT910ZH (OCEANUS) OM 0811 8/11/03 10:45 AM Page 16
