Introduction
■ About VHF Marine channels
This transceiver can operate on all international, USA and Canadian VHF marine channels. Be mindful
to operating channels according to the location of your vessel. Use of incorrect channels, useless trans-
missions and harmful inteferences on marine channels may be subject to penalty and/or fi ne by local
authority. Weather channels and alert functions are usable where N.O.A.A. weather radio signals are
receivable.
Please read this manual completely from the fi rst page to the last, to learn all the functions the
product off ers. It is important to note that some of the operations may be explained in relation
to information in other chapters. By reading just one part of the manual, you may risk not under-
standing the complete explanation of the function.
■ Lightning
Any person is not safe outdoor during thunderstorm and lightning. This condition is getting worse if
somebody keeps a handheld radio, chances of being hit by lightning are doubled since lightning may
hit a radio antenna as well. At this time, there is no handheld radio having any kind of protection against
lightning current (which is higher than 10 kA). Therefore, Alinco will not take responsibility for any danger
associated with using its handheld radios during lightning.
■ Emergency Calling Procedure
If your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels and the appropriate Coast Guard by sending a
distress call on Channel 16. Set the 16CH and:
1. Call “MAYDAY” 3 times.
2. “THIS IS (name of your vessel)”
3. Your call sign or other identifi cation of the vessel if any.
4. “LOCATED AT (your position)”
5. The nature of the distress and assistance required.
6. Any other information which might facilitate the rescue.
■RADIO OPERATOR WARNING
This radio generates RF electromagnetic energy while transmitting.
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may
also cause you to exceed RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio
by the manufacturer.
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than
50% of the time can cause RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is trans-
mitting when the“TX”appears on the LCD. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT”
key on the upper left side.
• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting to ensure
RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmis-
sion the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off
to one side.
■ Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, this radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other
radio/electronics/electric devices or systems. TURN OFF and NEVER operate the radio in areas where
signs are posted to do so, such as hospitals, abord aircraft, and blasting sites.
■ Covering ranges
You may expect a range of approx 3km (2 miles) or more at high-power when located on a noise-free
place. However, it may vary drastically depending on how to wear and carry the radios, surrounding
locations/conditions and static noise levels.
■IMPORTANT NOTICE
Important rules
• Safety and distress calls take priority over all others.
• You must monitor Channel 16 when you are not operating on another channel.
