EH Radio Operation Warning Icom requires the radio operator to meet the FCC Requirements for Radio Frequency Exposure. An omnidirectional antenna with gain not greater than 9 dBi must be mounted a minimum of 5 meters (measured from the lowest point of the antenna) vertically above the main deck and all possible WARNING personnel. This is the minimum safe separation distance estimated to meet all RF exposure compliance requirements. This 5 meter distance is based on the FCC Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) distance of 3 meters added to the height of an aduit (2 meters) and is appropriate for all vessels. For watercraft without suitable structures, the antenna must be mounted so as to maintain a minimum of 1 meter vertically between the antenna, (measured from the lowest point of the antenna), to the heads of all persons AND all persons must stay outside of the 3 meter MPE radius. Do not transmit with radio and antenna when persons are within the MPE radius of the antenna, unless such persons (such as driver or radio operator) are shielded from antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance from the antenna axis that person should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable MPE level set by FCC. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW THOSE WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF RADIATION ABSORPTION WHICH EXCEEDS THE FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RADIO OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING RADIO TRANSMISSION. THE RADIO OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS COME WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS. Determining MPE Radius THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) RADIUS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE A RADIUS OF ABOUT 3 M PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE FCC. THIS ESTIMATE IS MADE ASSUMING THE MAXIMUM POWER OF THE RADIO AND ANTENNAS WITH À MAXIMUM GAIN OF 9 dBi ARE USED FOR A SHIP MOUNTED SYSTEM.
HE Note A WARNING STICKER is supplied with the USA version transceiver. To comply with FCC regulations, this sticker must be affixed in such a location as to be readily seen from the operating controls of the radio. Make sure the chosen location is clean and dry before applying the sticker. H Precautions À WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver directly to an AC outlet. This may cause a fire or an electric shock. À WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This connection could cause a fire or damage the transceiver. À WARNING! NEVER reverse the DC power cable polarity. This could cause a fire or damage the equipment. À WARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC power connector on the transceiver's rear panel and the fuse holder. if an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged. À WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during a lightning storm. lt may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power source and antenna before a storm. À WARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vessel may be hindered, or where it could cause bodily injury. CAUTION: DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in areas with temperatures below -20°C or above +60°C (4°F or above +140°F), or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as a dashboard. CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol when cleaning. This could damage the equipment surfaces. Ifthe surface becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. NEVER place the transceiver in an insecure place to avoid inadvertent use by unauthorized persons. BE CAREFULI The transceiver's rear panel will become hot when transmitting continuously for long periods of time. BE CAREFULI The transceiver meets 1PX7 requirements for waterproof protection“. However, once the transceiver or microphone has been dropped, or the waterproof seal is cracked or damaged, waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to the case or the waterproof seal.
- Except for the DC power connector, NMEA In/Out leads and AF Out leads. NOTE: Install the transceiver and/or microphone more than 1 meter from the vessel's magnetic navigation compass.
H installation Note Installation: The installation of this equipment should be made in such a manner as to respect the EC recommended electromagnetic field exposure limits. (1999/519/EC) The maximum RF power available from this device is 25 watts. The antenna should be installed as high as possible for maximum efficiency and the installation height should be at least 1.76 meters above any accessible position. In the case where an antenna cannot be installed at a reasonable height, then the transmitter should neither be continuously operated for long periods if any person is within a distance of 1.76 meters of the antenna, nor operated at all if any person is touching the antenna. Itis recommended that antenna of a maximum gain of 3 dB is used. If higher gain antenna is required then please contact your Icom distributor for revised installation recommendations. Operation: The exposure to RF electromagnetic field is only applicable when this device is transmitting. This exposure is naturally reduced due to the nature of alternating periods of receiving and transmitting. Keep your transmissions to the minimum necessary.

H About AIS The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is primarily used for collision-risk management and navigation safety. It can automatically transmit and receive vessel information, such as the vessel name, MMSI code, vessel type, position data, speed, course, destination, and more, depending on the class. Information is exchanged among vessels and/or base stations on the VHF maritime mobile band. The information helps to identify other nearby vessels or stations by displaying the received data on a plotter or a radar screen. Other vessel (Class AAIS) Other vessel (Class B AIS) 71 Vessel Information
Dee Your vessel H AIS classes There are 7 types of AIS stations, vessels, base stations, Search and Rescue (SAR), Aïds to Navigation (AtoN), Search and Rescue Transmitter (AIS-SART), Man OverBoard (MOB), and Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon-AIS (EPIRB-AIS) There are 2 classes of AIS units, which are installed on vessels, Class À and Class B. Under the Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS) convention, all SOLAS vessels, as described below, are required to install a Class AAIS transponder: + Upwards of 300 gross tonnage engaged on international voyages. + Passenger vessels, irespective of size, engaged on international voyages. + Upwards of 500 gross tonnage not engaged on international voyages. A Class B AIS transponder is designed to be interoperability with Class A units, but not to impact the Class À network. Many commercial vessels, and some leisure craft, not classified as requiring a Class À unit, choose to install a Class B unit to avoid accidents at sea.

EH Radio Operation Warning Icom requires the radio operator to meet the FCC Requirements for Radio Frequency Exposure. An omnidirectional antenna with gain not greater than 9 dBi must be mounted a minimum of 5 meters (measured from the lowest point of the antenna) vertically above the main deck and all possible WARNING personnel. This is the minimum safe separation distance estimated to meet all RF exposure compliance requirements. This 5 meter distance is based on the FCC Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) distance of 3 meters added to the height of an aduit (2 meters) and is appropriate for all vessels. For watercraft without suitable structures, the antenna must be mounted so as to maintain a minimum of 1 meter vertically between the antenna, (measured from the lowest point of the antenna), to the heads of all persons AND all persons must stay outside of the 3 meter MPE radius. Do not transmit with radio and antenna when persons are within the MPE radius of the antenna, unless such persons (such as driver or radio operator) are shielded from antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance from the antenna axis that person should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable MPE level set by FCC. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW THOSE WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF RADIATION ABSORPTION WHICH EXCEEDS THE FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RADIO OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING RADIO TRANSMISSION. THE RADIO OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS COME WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS. Determining MPE Radius THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) RADIUS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE A RADIUS OF ABOUT 3 M PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE FCC. THIS ESTIMATE IS MADE ASSUMING THE MAXIMUM POWER OF THE RADIO AND ANTENNAS WITH À MAXIMUM GAIN OF 9 dBi ARE USED FOR A SHIP MOUNTED SYSTEM.
HE Note A WARNING STICKER is supplied with the USA version transceiver. To comply with FCC regulations, this sticker must be affixed in such a location as to be readily seen from the operating controls of the radio. Make sure the chosen location is clean and dry before applying the sticker. H Precautions À WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver directly to an AC outlet. This may cause a fire or an electric shock. À WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This connection could cause a fire or damage the transceiver. À WARNING! NEVER reverse the DC power cable polarity. This could cause a fire or damage the equipment. À WARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC power connector on the transceiver's rear panel and the fuse holder. if an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged. À WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during a lightning storm. lt may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power source and antenna before a storm. À WARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vessel may be hindered, or where it could cause bodily injury. CAUTION: DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in areas with temperatures below -20°C or above +60°C (4°F or above +140°F), or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as a dashboard. CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol when cleaning. This could damage the equipment surfaces. Ifthe surface becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. NEVER place the transceiver in an insecure place to avoid inadvertent use by unauthorized persons. BE CAREFULI The transceiver's rear panel will become hot when transmitting continuously for long periods of time. BE CAREFULI The transceiver meets 1PX7 requirements for waterproof protection“. However, once the transceiver or microphone has been dropped, or the waterproof seal is cracked or damaged, waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to the case or the waterproof seal.
- Except for the DC power connector, NMEA In/Out leads and AF Out leads. NOTE: Install the transceiver and/or microphone more than 1 meter from the vessel's magnetic navigation compass.
H installation Note Installation: The installation of this equipment should be made in such a manner as to respect the EC recommended electromagnetic field exposure limits. (1999/519/EC) The maximum RF power available from this device is 25 watts. The antenna should be installed as high as possible for maximum efficiency and the installation height should be at least 1.76 meters above any accessible position. In the case where an antenna cannot be installed at a reasonable height, then the transmitter should neither be continuously operated for long periods if any person is within a distance of 1.76 meters of the antenna, nor operated at all if any person is touching the antenna. Itis recommended that antenna of a maximum gain of 3 dB is used. If higher gain antenna is required then please contact your Icom distributor for revised installation recommendations. Operation: The exposure to RF electromagnetic field is only applicable when this device is transmitting. This exposure is naturally reduced due to the nature of alternating periods of receiving and transmitting. Keep your transmissions to the minimum necessary.
