IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
If your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels and
the Coast Guard by sending a Distress call on Channel 16.
Or, transmit your Distress call using digital selective calling
on Channel 70.
INSTALLATION NOTE
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 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.
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.
Similarly some types of transmitter, SSB, CW, AM, etc. have a
lower ‘average’ output power and the perceived risk is even
lower.
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

2. Wait for an acknowledgment on Channel 70 from a coast
station.
• After the acknowledgement is received, Channel 16 is auto-
matically selected.
3. Push and hold [PTT], then transmit the appropriate
information as listed above.
USING CHANNEL 16
DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE
1. “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY.”
2. “THIS IS ...............” (name of vessel).

PRECAUTIONS
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.
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.
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.
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.

OPERATING RULES
DD
PRIORITIES
• 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.
• 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.
DD
PRIVACY
• Information overheard but not intended for you cannot law-
fully be used in any way.
• Indecent or profane language is prohibited.
DD
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.
(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSE
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.
The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must be
posted or kept with the operator. Only a licensed radio opera-
tor may operate a transceiver.
However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a transceiver
if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends the call and
makes the necessary log entries.
Keep a copy of the current government rules and regulations
handy.

Activating the scrambler
The optional voice scrambler provides private communica-
tions. In order to receive or send scrambled transmissions
you must first activate the scrambler function. To activate the
function, an optional scrambler unit is necessary. See pgs.
57, 62 for setting the scrambler unit. Ask your dealer for de-
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.
*Depends on the installed scrambler unit.

SCAN OPERATION

■ Scan types
Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has Priority scan and
Normal scan.
Set the TAG channels (scanned channel) before scanning.
Clear the TAG channels which inconveniently stop scanning,
such as those for digital communication use. (Refer to right
page for details.)
Choose Priority or Normal scan in Set mode. (p. 55)
PRIORITY SCAN
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
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.

  • Onze marifoon IC-M505 geeft opeens geen geluid meer via de speaker van de marifoon alsook via de commander repeater buiten; ik heb daar ook een losse speaker die het ook niet doet. Zenden gaat goed, de ontvanger aan de andere kant hoort ons wel. Ook krijg ik wel het Atis signaal binnen als iemand oproept, maar ik hoor geen geluid, terwijl ik dat dan via een losse handheld marifoon wel hoor binnen komen. De marifoon doet het al een paar jaar prima. Iser een instelling waarmee ik heb abusievelijk op mute heb gezet of is er iets anders aan te doen? Gesteld op 16-5-2016 om 14:40

    • Heel toevallig heb ik hetzelfde probleem. Alles is getest en is ok, maar toch hoor weinig tot niets. Alleen als de zender heel dicht de buurt is. Geantwoord op 23-6-2016 om 21:06
