IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

INSTALLATION NOTE

If your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels and

the Coast Guard by sending a Distress call on Channel 16.

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).

USING CHANNEL 16

DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE

The maximum RF power available from this device is 25

watts. The antenna should be installed as high as possible

for maximum efﬁciency and that this installation height should

be at least 5 meters above ground (or accessible) level. 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 5 meters of

the antenna, nor operated at all if any person is touching the

antenna.

1. “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY.”

2. “THIS IS ...............” (name of vessel).

3. Say your call sign or other indication of the vessel (AND

9-digit DSC ID if you have one).

4. “LOCATED AT ...............” (your position).

5. State the nature of the distress and assistance required.

6. Give any other information which might facilitate the

rescue.

Or, transmit your Distress call using digital selective calling

on Channel 70.

In all cases any possible risk depends on the transmitter

being activated for long periods. (actual recommendation lim-

its are specified as an average of 6 minutes) Normally the

transmitter is not active for long periods of time. Some radio li-

censes will require that a timer circuit automatically cuts the

transmitter after 1–2 minutes etc.

USING DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (Ch 70)

DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE

1. While lifting up the key cover, push and hold

[DISTRESS] for 5 sec. until you hear 5 short beeps

change to one long beep.

2. Wait for an acknowledgment on Channel 70 from a coast

station.

Similarly some types of transmitter, SSB, CW, AM, etc. have a

lower ‘average’ output power and the perceived risk is even

lower.

• After the acknowledgement is received, Channel 16 is auto-

matically selected.

3. Push and hold [PTT], then transmit the appropriate

information as listed above.

PRECAUTIONS

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver rear panel will become

hot when operating continuously for long periods.

Place the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent

use by children.

RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC

outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric

shock.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more

than 16 V DC or use reverse polarity. This will ruin the trans-

ceiver.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver and the optional HM-

162E ^{COMMANDMIC III}™ employ waterproof construction,

which corresponds to IPX8 of the international standard IEC

60529 (2001). However, once the transceiver or microphone

has been dropped, waterprooﬁng cannot be guaranteed due

to the fact that the case may be cracked, or the waterproof

seal damaged, etc.

NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug at the

back of the transceiver and fuse holder. If an incorrect con-

nection is made after cutting, the transceiver may be dam-

aged.

NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the

vessel may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.

KEEP the transceiver at least 1 m away from the ship’s nav-

igation compass.

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with temper-

atures below –20°C or above +60°C or, in areas subject to di-

rect sunlight, such as the dashboard.

AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-

cohol when cleaning, as they may damage the transceiver

surfaces. If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it

clean with a soft, dry cloth.

OPERATING RULES

(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSE

PRIORITIES

A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license

most often held by small vessel radio operators when a radio

is not required for safety purposes.

• Read all rules and regulations pertaining to priorities and

keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and Distress calls

take priority over all others.

The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must be

posted or kept with the operator. Only a licensed radio opera-

tor may operate a transceiver.

• You must monitor Channel 16 when you are not operating

on another channel.

• False or fraudulent distress signals are prohibited and pun-

ishable by law.

However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a transceiver

if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends the call and

makes the necessary log entries.

PRIVACY

• Information overheard but not intended for you cannot law-

fully be used in any way.

Keep a copy of the current government rules and regulations

handy.

• Indecent or profane language is prohibited.

RADIO LICENSES

(1) SHIP STATION LICENSE

You must have a current radio station license before using the

transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship station which is not

licensed.

Inquire through your dealer or the appropriate government

agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license application. This

government-issued license states the call sign which is your

craft’s identiﬁcation for radio purposes.

tails.

There are 32 codes (1 to 32) or 128 codes (0 to 127)* avail-

able for programming when an optional scrambler unit is in-

stalled. In order to understand one another, all transceivers

in your group must have the same scramble code. This func-

tion may not be available depending on dealer setting.

Priority scan searches through all TAG channels in se-

quence while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is de-

tected on Channel 16, scan pauses until the signal disap-

pears; when a signal is detected on a channel other than

Channel 16, scan becomes Dualwatch until the signal dis-

appears.

Normal scan, like Priority scan, searches through all TAG

channels in sequence. However, unlike Priority scan,

Channel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set as a

TAG channel.

OTHER FUNCTIONS

I Hailer operation

The IC-M505 has a hailer function for voice ampliﬁcation over

a loudspeaker, making it unnecessary to leave the bridge to

talk a hailing party.

• While in the hailer mode, the transceiver functions (trans-

mit and receive) are interrupted. If the transceiver is in

transmit condition, the hailer function is not available.

• When a DSC call is received, the hailer function is inter-

rupted with an automatic return to the transceiver mode.

The transceiver’s display indicates ‘Receiving DSC calls.’

(p. 41)

Connect an external hailer speaker (25 W nominal at

13.8 V/4 Ω) as described on p. 58.

• Transmitting is not possible during hailer operation.

• The received signal is muted during hailer operation.

q Push [HAIL•RX ] to enter hailer mode.
