Page 3HX2103. ABOUT THIS RADIO3.1 ABOUT THE VHF MARINE BANDThe radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with NOAA Weather stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially “Line of sight” Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmit-ter. On a xed mount 25 W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles, for a portable 5 W radio transmission the expected distance can be greater than 5 miles in “Line of sight”.The user of a Marine VHF radio is subject to severe nes if the radio is used on land. The reasoning for this is you may be near an inland waterway, or propagation anomalies may cause your transmission to be heard in a wa-terway. If this occurs, depending upon the marine VHF channel on which you are transmitting, you could interfere with a search and rescue case, or contribute to a collision between passing ships. For VHF Marine channel as-signments refer to section “8. VHF MARINE CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS”.WARNINGThis radio is capable of transmitting on Marine VHF.The FCC allows the use of VHF Marine band on water areas only. However the FCC does not allow the use of the VHF Marine band when on land. If persons use the VHF Marine Band on land and interfere with others com-municating, the FCC will be notied and search for the interference. Re-sponsible parties found to be transmitting on the VHF Marine Band on land could be ned up to $10,000 for the rst offense.3.2 ABOUT WATER RESISTANCEThe HX210 is only submersible※ when the MIC/SP cap is installed in the MIC/SP jack.※IPX7 Specication for submersibility: 5 ft. (1.5 m) for 30 minutes.3.3 DISTRESS AND HAILING (CHANNEL 16)Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency may be defined as a threat to life or property. In such instances, be sure the transceiver is on and set to “Channel 16”. Then use the following procedure:1. Press the PTT (Push-To-Talk) switch and say “Mayday, Mayday, May-day. This is _____, _____, _____” (your vessel’s name).2. Then repeat once: “Mayday, _____” (your vessel’s name).3. Now report your position in latitude/longitude, or by giving a true or mag-netic bearing (state which) to a well-known landmark such as a naviga-FCC ID: K6630613X30 IC: 511B-30613X30
HX210Page 4tion aid or geographic feature such as an island or harbor entry.4. Explain the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, re, heart attack, life-threatening injury, etc.).5. State the kind of assistance your desire (pumps, medical aid, etc.).6. Report the number of persons aboard and condition of any injured.7. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel.8. Give your vessel’s description: length, design (power or sail), color and other distinguishing marks. The total transmission should not exceed 1 minute.9. End the message by saying “OVER”. Release the PTT switch and listen.10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no re-sponse, try another channel.3.4 CALLING ANOTHER VESSEL (CHANNEL 16 OR 9)Channel 16 may be used for initial contact (hailing) with another vessel.However, its most important use is for emergency messages. This channel must be monitored at all times except when actually using another channel.It is monitored by the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards and by other ves-sels. Use of channel 16 for hailing must be limited to initial contact only. Call-ing should not exceed 30 seconds, but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals. In areas of heavy radio trafc, congestion on channel 16 resulting from its use as a hailing channel can be reduced signicantly in U.S. waters by using Channel 9 as the initial contact (hailing) channel for non-emergency communications. Here, also, calling time should not exceed 30 seconds but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals.Prior to making contact with another vessel, refer to the channel charts in this manual, and select an appropriate channel for communications after initial contact. For example, Channels 68 and 69 of the U.S. VHF Charts are some of the channels available to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. Monitor your desired channel in advance to make sure you will not be interrupting other trafc, and then go back to either channel 16 or 9 for your initial contact.When the hailing channel (16 or 9) is clear, state the name of the other ves-sel you wish to call and then “this is” followed by the name of your vessel and your Station License (Call Sign). When the other vessel returns your call, immediately request another channel by saying “go to”, the number of the other channel, and “over”. Then switch to the new channel. When the new channel is not busy, call the other vessel.After a transmission, say “over”, and release the PTT (Push-To-Talk) switch. When all communication with the other vessel is completed, end the last transmission by stating your Call Sign and the word “out”. Note that it is not necessary to state your Call Sign with each transmission, only at the begin-ning and end of the contact.FCC ID: K6630613X30 IC: 511B-30613X30
Page 5HX210Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some radios automatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or when scanning.3.5 BRIDGE CHANNELS 13 AND 67Channel 13 is used at docks, bridges and by vessels maneuvering in port. Messages on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing in restricted waters.Channel 67 is used for navigational trafc between vessels.By regulation, power is normally limited to 1 Watt on these channels. Your radio is programmed to automatically reduce power to this limit on these channels. However, in certain situations it may be necessary to temporarily use a higher power. See page 14 for means to temporarily override the low-power limit on these two channels.3.6 SIMPLEX/DUPLEX CHANNEL USERefer to the section “8. VHF MARINE CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS” for in-structions on use of simplex and duplex channels.NOTEAll channels are factory-programmed in accordance with FCC (USA), Industry Canada and International regulations. The mode of operation cannot be altered from simplex to duplex or vice-versa. Simplex (ship to ship) or duplex (marine operator) mode is automatically activated, de-pending on the channel and whether the USA, International or Canadian operating band is selected.FCC ID: K6630613X30 IC: 511B-30613X30
HX210Page 63.7 AUTOMATED RADIO CHECK SERVICEIn areas across the country, Sea Tow offers boaters a way to conduct radio checks.

HX210Page 248. VHF MARINE CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTSTables on the following columns list the VHF Marine Channel assignments for USA. and International use. Below are listed some data about the charts.1. VTS. Where indicated, these channels are part of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Vessel Trafc System.2. Alpha channel numbers, that is, channel numbers followed by the letter A (such as Channel 07A) are simplex channels on the USA. or Canadian channel assignments whose counterparts in the International assign-ments are duplex channels. International channels do not use “alpha” numbers. If you call the Coast Guard on Channel 16, they will sometimes ask you to “go to channel 22 Alpha.” This is a channel assigned to USA, and Canadian Coast Guards for handling distress and other calls. If your radio is set for International operation you will go to Channel 22 instead of 22A, and will not be able to communicate with the Coast Guard. To use Channel 22A, your radio must be set for USA or Canada operation, usually by a U/I/C (USA/International/Canada) control or combination of controls. Channel 22 (without an “A”) is an International duplex channel for port operations. Some radios indicate an “A” adjacent to the alpha channels on the display; on others “alpha” is not indicated but the proper channel is selected based on the U/I/C setting.3. Bridge-to-Bridge channels (for example, Channel 13) are for use by bridge operators on inter-coastal waterways and rivers. It is also used by marine vessels in the vicinity of these bridges for navigation and for com-municating with the bridge operators. Note that a limit of 1 Watt is speci-ed for these channels. 4. The S/D column on the chart indicates either S (simplex) or D (duplex). Simplex means transmitting and receiving on the same frequency. Only one party at a time can talk, unlike a telephone. Be sure to say “over” and release your microphone push-to-talk switch at the end of each transmission. Duplex operation involves the use of one frequency for transmitting and a separate frequency for receiving. On channels speci-ed as duplex on the charts, correct mode of operation is established au-tomatically by your radio when you select a channel; you cannot change the mode. And you still must release the push-to-talk switch after each transmission in order to listen to the radio.5. Channels normally used by recreational boaters are those that include the term “non-commercial” in the Channel Use column of the chart. Some of these are shared with other users and some are used only in certain geographic regions.FCC ID: K6630613X30 IC: 511B-30613X30

Page 35HX21012. RF EXPOSURE SAFETY STATEMENTSAFETY INFORMATIONYour wireless handheld portable transceiver contains a low power trans-mitter. When the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pushed, the transceiver sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless devices.This device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50% (this corresponds to 50% transmission time and 50% reception time).WARNING: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, this transmitter and its antenna must maintain a separation distance of at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your face. Speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away from the face at the required separation distance.Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modications, or attachments could damage the transmitter, and may violate FCC regula-tions.CONSIGNES DE SECURITEVotre émetteur-récepteur portatif sans filcontient un émetteur à faible puissance. Lorsque vous appuyez sur le bouton Push-to-Talk (PTT), l’émetteur-récepteur émet des signaux de radiofréquence (RF). En août 1996, la FCC (Commission Fédérale des Communications) a adopté des directives relatives à l’exposition aux RF avec des niveaux de sécurité pour les appareils sans l portatifs.Le fonctionnement de cet appareil est autorisé à un facteur d’utilisation ne dépassant pas 50 % (correspondant à 50% de la durée de transmission et 50% de la durée de réception).AVERTISSEMENT: Pour assurer la conformité avec les directives d’exposition RF de la FCC, cet émetteur-récepteur et son antenne doi-vent être maintenus à une distance minimum d’un pouce (2,5 centimètre) de votre visage. Parlez avec une voix normale, avec l’antenne dirigée vers le haut et éloignée du visage, à la distance requise.Si vous utilisez un casque pour cette radio, et que vous portez la radio sur vous, utilisez exclusivement le clip de ceinture Yaesu pour cet émetteur-récepteur, et assurez-vous que l’antenne se trouve à une distance minimum d’un pouce (2,5 centimètres) de votre corps pendant l’émission.Utilisez ex-clusivement l’antenne fournie. Les antennes, les modificationsou les accessoires non autorisés peuvent endommager l’émetteur-récepteur et enfreindre les réglementations FCC.FCC ID: K6630613X30 IC: 511B-30613X30
