FOREWORD  
Features  
The FURUNO FM-8800D/FM-8800S is a cost-effective all-in-one marine VHF  
radio system consisting of a 25 W VHF radiotelephone, a DSC modem, and a  
CH 70 watch receiver. It complies with GMDSS carriage requirements for safety  
and general communications.  
The FM-8800D offers full-duplex voice communications and the FM-8800S  
offers simplex voice communication on ITU channels in the marine mobile VHF  
band. The features include Dual Watch which allows a continuous watch on  
CH16 and another selected frequency.  
Full Class-A DSC functions are provided for distress alert transmission and  
reception, as well as the general call formats (Individual telephone, All Ships,  
Group and Area Call). Distress alert can be readily transmitted but an  
arrangement is provided to prevent accidental activation. The FM-8800D/  
FM-8800S maintains a continuous watch on CH70 even while another VHF  
channel is in use. Aural and visual alarms are given to incoming DSC messages.  
The main features of the FM-8800D/FM-8800S are  
Compact cabinet allows for flexible and space-saving installation on a  
navigation console or at the conning position

Adjusting squelch  
The SQUELCH control adjusts the squelch threshold level. Adjust it so that white  
noise heard in the loudspeaker just fades out. Perform this operation when no  
traffic is being received. AUTO squelch automatically reduces white noise.  
Usually select the AUTO position. Avoid turning the squelch too far clockwise —  
you may miss a long distance communication.  
Note: To obtain correct scan watch/dual watch response, adjust the SQUELCH  
control precisely.  
1.2.5  
Transmitting  
Press the PTT (Push-to-talk) switch on the handset or microphone to talk, and  
release it to listen for the response. The VHF section keyboard accepts no key  
input when the PTT switch is operated.  
Remarks on transmitting  
Before transmitting, think about the subjects which have to be communicated  
and, if necessary, prepare written notes to avoid unnecessary interruptions  
and ensure that no valuable time is wasted on a busy channel.  
Listen before commencing to transmit to make certain that the channel is not  
already in use.  
1.2.6  
Selecting output power  
After pressing the SHIFT key, each press of the 0 HI/LO key selects high or low

Quick selection of CH16  
Press the CH16 key to select CH16, the International Calling and Safety  
Channel. The use is limited to distress, safety and calling. The transmission on  
CH16 (156.800 MHz) should be limited to within 1 minute except for distress  
calling.  
Avoid calling on CH16 for purposes other than distress, urgency and very brief  
safety communications when another calling channel is available.  
1.2.9  
Dual watch  
The dual watch function permits watch on CH16 and another selected channel.  
CH16 and another channel are watched at intervals of 0.15 seconds and one  
second, respectively.  
To start dual watch, first select the other frequency to watch and then press the  
SHIFT key and 9 DW key in that order. When the receiver finds a signal on  
CH16, it locks on it and restarts dual watching after the signal on CH16 has gone.  
If another channel has traffic, it still continues dual watch. The speech is heard  
intermittently. If you are annoyed with the intermittence, turn off the dual watch  
by pressing the PTT switch on the handset or pressing the SHIFT and 9 DW key  
again.  
1.2.10 Scanning  
The receiver scans all channels at intervals of 0.15 seconds in the selected  
channel mode in ascending channel order, watching CH16 between channels as  
below:

To start scanning, press the SHIFT and 8 SCAN in that order. When the receiver  
finds a signal, scanning is stopped on that channel and starts dual watch on it  
and CH16.  
To turn off the scanning, press the PTT switch or press the SHIFT and 8 SCAN  
key.  
1.2.11 Remarks on voice communications  
Automatic acknowledge (DSC operation) is automatically changed to manual  
acknowledge when voice communications begin. (The “auto” indication, however,  
remains on the screen.) This is done to prevent a break in communications.  
Automatic acknowledge is automatically restored once voice communications  
are terminated.

DSC Operational Overview  
Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is the global calling system adopted by the ITU-R  
and IMO for selective calling of coast station and ship radio stations. The DSC  
system is used for both safety and routine calling. The GMDSS requires the use  
of DSC for distress alerting and safety calls.  
1.3.1  
LED warnings  
The LED below the DISTRESS key lights continuously when the distress signal  
is transmitted.  
The ALARM LED blinks in red (and alarm sounds) when a distress or urgent  
message is received. The LED can be extinguished and alarm silenced by  
pressing the CANCEL key.  
The ALARM LED blinks in green (and alarm sounds) when a message other  
than distress or urgent is received. Alarm is automatically silenced two minutes  
after message is received.

Preparing and transmitting DSC messages  
There are two methods by which you can prepare and transmit DSC messages,  
and they are shown below.  
Preparing message for immediate transmission  
1. Press the CALL key at the standby display.  
2. Select the call type.  
3. Select other party (ID) if necessary.  
4. Select the communications category.  
5. Select the communications channel.  
6. Press the CALL key more than three seconds.  
Transmitting a message stored in the memory  
100 messages can be saved to the memory. You may open a memory-stored  
message and transmit it.  
Distress alert transmission and output power  
When the distress alert is transmitted (by pressing the DISTRESS key), the  
output power of the FM-8800D/S is automatically set to maximum (25 W).  
When keyboard input is prohibited  
DSC-related controls cannot be operated while a DSC message is being  
transmitted. (These controls are inoperative about 3 seconds during a DSC  
distress call; 0.5 seconds for other DSC calls.)  
1.3.3  
Automatic acknowledge on/off  
The automatic acknowledge feature of the DSC/watch receiver automatically  
transmits the acknowledge back (ACK BQ) signal to the sending station when an  
individual, position or polling call is received. (For position and polling calls,  
respective item on the AUTO ACK menu must be turned on to enable automatic  
acknowledge.) Automatic acknowledge can be turned on or off at the standby  
display by pressing the SHIFT and 5 keys in this order.  
The message AUTO ACK or MANUAL ACK appears at the bottom of the  
standby display with each press of the keys.  
Note 1: To give priority to own ship's communications while own ship is  
communicating, show MANUAL ACK by the above procedure.  
Note 2: Automatic acknowledge is not possible under the following conditions:

Priority  
If one or more remote stations are installed, the transceiver unit (main unit) has  
the highest priority. You can interrupt remote station operation at any time with  
the handset of the main unit. When you hook off the handset of the main unit,  
“OCCUPIED FM8800” (default. This may be change. See section 5.3) is  
indicated on all remote stations.  
Each remote station has its own priority. The remote station ID (1-4) indicates its  
priority. The priority of the system is as follows.  
DSC of main unit > Wing handset > Handset of main unit > 1 > 2 > 3 > 4  
If you hook off No.4 remote station, for example, “Occupied Handset.4” is  
displayed on other remote stations. However, you can hook off and use No.1  
handset.  
How to set priority of the remote station  
1. Disconnect the plug of a remote station to turn off the remote station.  
2. While pressing the MENU key of a remote station, connect the plug to turn  
on the power.

Receiving Distress Alert from Other Vessel,  
Transmitting DIST ACK Signal  
In no case is a ship permitted to transmit a DSC distress relay call upon receipt  
of a DSC distress alert on VHF channel 70.  
Procedure when in area A1  
1. When the FM-8800D/8800S receives a distress alert from another vessel, the  
ALARM LED (red) blinks and the FM-8800D/8800S sounds the distress  
alarm.  
2. Silence the alarm by pressing the CANCEL key.  
3. Wait up to five minutes until the DIST ACK signal from a coast station is  
received. Be prepared to follow the instructions of the coast station.  
4. If you do not receive the DIST ACK signal, follow the flow chart shown on  
page 2-8 to determine if your vessel should acknowledge a distress alert.  
If further DSC alerts are received from the same source and the ship in distress  
is beyond doubt in the vicinity, a DSC acknowledgement may, after consultation
