Introduction
Features
Your radio provides the following key features:
© Submersible design. Complies with oating JIS8/IPX8 water-resistant
standards, which means the radio can be submerged in 1.5 meters of water
for 1 hour without damage.
Notes:
The radio will only meet this rating if fully assembled and all rubber
seals and sealing plugs are well maintained and correctly tted. This
means that the speaker microphone is attached or the sealing plug
is tted, and the battery pack (or tray) and antenna are attached and
securely fastened.
-
5
After your radio is submerged in water, you might notice that the
sound is distorted. This is because there is still water remaining in and
around the speaker and microphone. Just shake the radio to clear
excess water, and the sound will return to normal.
If your radio is exposed to salt water, clean it thoroughly with fresh
water and dry it before turning it on.
The charger is not waterproof.
© Memory Scan mode. Lets you save channels to memory and monitor them
in quick succession.
© Transmitter power level select/Boost. Lets you boost the transmitter pow-
er from 1W to 2.5W or 6W for added transmission distance.
© Battery level display and low battery alert.
© Dual and Triple Watch operation. These different Watch modes let you
monitor up to one Coast Guard Distress/Hailing channel and one weather
channel along with one regular marine channel.
© All marine VHF channels for the U.S., Canada, and international wa-
ters.
© Battery Save. The Battery Save feature automatically turns off RX power at
regular intervals to save battery power.
© National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather
Channel watch. Sounds a warning tone when a hazard alert is issued.
© SOS Strobe/Flashlight. A high intensity strobe LED can be set to blink an
SOS pattern or to be steady on.
© Emergency 16/9 Channel monitoring. Set unit to scan one or both of
these emergency channels regularly within normal scanning cycles.

Normal Mode Operation
© To transmit, remove the radio from the charger, then press and hold Push to
Talk. Release the button when you are nished talking.
© For the best sound quality, hold the microphone about two inches from your
mouth while you’re talking.
© Press Channel up to move up one channel at a time. Press and hold the
button to scroll quickly up the channels.
© Press Channel down to move down one channel at a time. Press and hold
the button to scroll quickly down the channels.
© To change the transmit power, press L/M/H. The transmit power switches to
the next transmit power each time you press this button.
Normal mode with Weather Alert Watch
If you activate
Weather Alert
Watch while
operating in
Normal mode,
the radio checks the most recently used
weather channel every few seconds.
If it detects a weather or other hazard alert,
it will switch to that weather channel.
(If you are actively transmitting the radio waits
until you nish your transmission before
checking the weather channel.)
13
Normal mode with Triple Watch or Dual Watch
If you activate Triple Watch while operating in Normal mode, the radio checks
channels 16 and 9 every two seconds; with Dual Watch turned on, the radio
only checks channel 16. The radio will not check channels 16 or 9 while you
are actively transmitting; it waits until your transmission is nished and then
checks the channels.
Scan Mode Operation
You can save channels into memory and then use Scan mode to monitor those
channels from lowest to highest. If the radio detects a signal on a channel, it
stays on that channel as long as the signal is received; when the signal stops,
the radio continues scanning.
14
Using the radio in Scan mode
© To activate Scan mode, press SCAN/DUAL.
© You must have at least two channels in memory to start a scan. However,
you cannot save marine channel 70 or Weather channels.
© You cannot transmit while in Scan mode.
© To save a channel into memory, select the channel, then press MEM/SOS.
The MEM icon displays whenever you tune to that channel.
© To remove a channel from memory, set the radio to that channel, then press
MEM/SOS. The MEM icon no longer displays.
© When the radio stays on a channel, press Channel Up to leave that channel
and resume scanning.
© To end the Scan, press the SCAN/DUAL button again; the radio remains on
the last scanned channel.
Scan mode with Weather Alert Watch
If you activate Weather Alert Watch while in Scan mode, the radio checks the
most recently/used weather channel every seven seconds, then continues
scanning the next channel in memory:
15
Scan mode with Triple Watch or Dual Watch
If you activate Triple Watch while operating in Scan mode, the radio checks
channels 16 and 9 every two seconds, then goes on to scan the next channel;
with Dual Watch turned on, the radio only checks channel 16:
Both Weather Alert and Triple/Dual Watch in Scan mode
You can activate Weather Alert Watch and Triple/Dual Watch at the same time.
The radio performs both checks at their scheduled time:
16
Weather Mode
The NOAA weather channels cooperate with the FCC to alert you of other
hazards besides weather (child abduction alerts, nuclear, biological, etc.). In
Weather mode, the radio monitors one of the nine NOAA weather channels.
If any type of alert is received, the radio sounds an alert tone and the display
blinks.
Using the radio in weather mode
Press the WX/ALERT button to access Weather mode. WX displays. Press
to scroll through the weather channels.To cancel Weather and return to the
previous marine channel, press the WX/ALERT button again. The last active
weather channel displays the next time you access Weather mode.
You cannot transmit while in Weather mode.
When the radio detects a WX Alert signal, it sounds a siren tone three times.
Press any button to turn off the tone.
Weather mode with Weather Alert Watch
Because Weather mode already monitors the weather channels, you don’t
need Weather Alert Watch to check the weather channel every seven seconds.
If you activate Weather Alert Watch while operating in Weather mode, it oper-
ates as a type of “sleep mode;” the radio stays on the weather channel and
mutes the speaker. If an alert is detected, the radio sounds an alert tone and
turns the speaker back on. This mode is very useful when you are anchoring
for the night but want to keep informed of hazards.
Weather mode with Triple Watch or Dual Watch
If you activate Triple
Watch while operating
in Weather mode, the
radio checks channels
16 and 9 every two
seconds; with Dual
Watch turned on, the
radio only checks channel 16.

Setting Up the Hardware
Attaching the Antenna
The antenna detaches from the radio for easy ship-
ping or storage. To attach the antenna to your radio,
screw it tightly onto the anchor post at the top of
the radio.
Installing the Battery
Your radio comes with a rechargeable Li-Ion Polymer battery; for shipping
safety, the battery is not installed at the factory.
The empty alkaline battery tray is installed as a placeholder.
1) Insert the tabs on the battery into the notches at the top of the battery com-
partment.
Each time you remove the battery, check the rubber seal around
the battery compartment. Make sure the seal is seated in the
groove and there is no dirt or debris on it. If the seal looks worn
or damaged, contact customer service to order a replacement.
2) Lower the battery until it rests at in the compartment.
3) Bring the battery latch up and snap it into place.
Using the Alkaline Battery Tray
The radio also comes with an alkaline battery tray that holds four AAA-type
alkaline batteries (not included). You can use alkaline batteries as a backup
for the Li-Ion Polymer battery so you can still use your radio while your Li-Ion
Polymer battery is recharging.
CAUTION: If you are using your radio in a cold-weather environ-
ment, PRESIDENT recommends using nonrechargeable Lithium
batteries.
-
When using alkaline batteries, transmit power is limited to a
maximum of 2.5W.

3) Align the batteries’ positive and negative terminals
with the drawing on the tray and snap each bat-
tery into place.
4) Insert the two hooks
on the lower part
of the tray into the
notches on the cover;
close the cover. (The cover ts snugly but you
should not have to force it closed.)
5) Install the alkaline battery tray in your radio just
as you do the Li-Ion Polymer battery (see page
17).
WARNING! The tray is designed to prevent the accidental charg-
ing of alkaline batteries. Never use alkaline batteries in the radio
without the alkaline battery tray. Do not attempt to modify the
battery tray design.
Mounting the Charger
You can mount the charger on any at surface.
1) Use the two holes at the base of the charger as a
template to mark the drill holes.
2) Using a 1/8-inch (or 3 mm) drill bit, drill two holes
1/2 inch (13mm) deep.
3) Use the provided screws to attach the charger to
the surface.
Charging the Battery
Your radio includes a charger and a rechargeable battery
pack. Place your radio in the charger with the display facing
forward. Make sure that the CHARGE LED on the charger
turns orange.
19

© Use only the battery and charger supplied with this radio. Us-
ing a different charger or battery can damage the radio and
create a risk of re or shock.
© The charger is not waterproof. If the charger falls into the wa-
ter, unplug it before attempting to remove it from the water.
After you remove the charger from the water, please contact
your retailer.
© Wipe off dirt or shake water from your radio before placing in
the charger if your radio gets dirty or wet.
Important notes on charging the battery
© Charge the battery fully before using the radio. When the battery is com-
pletely charged, the CHARGE LED turns green.
© Don’t use the charger when the ambient temperature is below 0° C (32° F)
or above 45° C (113° F).
© If the radio is powered down, the battery can charge in about seven hours.
(If the radio is powered on, the battery takes longer to charge.)
Attaching the Belt Clip
To attach the belt clip:
1) Rotate the belt clip so that the nger indentation
is towards the top of the radio.
2) Align the center of the clip with the anchor post.
3) Place the clip on the post and slide the clip up-
wards until it clicks into place.

Using Your Radio
Turning It On
Press and hold POWER for at least two seconds to turn the radio on. Press and
hold POWER again to turn the unit off.
Setting It Up
Even though you can change your radio’s settings at any time, you will prob-
ably want to establish initial settings after you have turned it on for the rst
time. You will adjust some of these settings on an as-needed basis, but some
settings might only need to be set once.
Changing the volume
To change the speaker volume, press VOL/SQ to enter Volume Setting mode.
0 (for volume level 0 - 9) displays. Press CHANNEL UP or CHANNEL DOWN
to increase or decrease the volume levels. Press VOL/SQ to save.
Setting the Squelch level
The PM-2050 SWF recognizes signals as transmissions if they exceed a signal
strength threshold.
Adjusting the squelch sets this threshold level. Increasing squelch requires a
signal to be stronger to be seen as a transmission. If you set the squelch too
high, you will risk not receiving transmissions that are lower than that threshold.
Reducing the squelch allows weaker signals to be accepted. However, if you
lower the squelch too much, you will hear white noise all the time.
21
While listening to a channel, press and hold VOL/SQ to enter Squelch Setting
mode. The SQUELCH Level (S0) number displays on the LCD. Press CHAN-
NEL UP or CHANNEL DOWN to increase or decrease the squelch levels (0
- 3). Press VOL/SQ to save the setting.
Note: Setting the squelch level too high may prevent you from
hearing weaker transmissions. If you are having difculty hear-
ing a transmission, try setting the squelch level lower.
Reading volume and squelch level on battery icon
When you adjust the volume or squelch levels, the 4 bars on the battery icon
display according to the volume and squelch levels. For example, two bars
display for VOL levels 3 and 4, and Squelch level 2.
-
Setting the UIC channel mode (USA/CAN/INT)
You can select marine channels for the USA, Canada, or International waters.
Press UIC/LOCK to scroll through USA, CANada, or INTernational channel
options.
Using the WX Mode
Press WX/ALERT to switch to WX mode; you can then listen to one of the 9
weather channels. Press and hold WX/ALERT to turn on Weather Alert mode.
The radio then monitors the current weather channel and alerts you to any
broadcast weather alerts or notications. The
icon displays to indicate that
WX Alert is on.

displays while you are transmitting. Release
Push to Talk when you’re nished talking to let the other party respond.
© To prevent stuck microphone problems or situations where Push to Talk is
pushed accidentally, the radio limits your talk time to 5 minutes in a single
transmission.
© For the best sound quality, hold the microphone about two inches away from
your mouth.
© Some marine channels and Weather mode channels are Receive Only. See
page 28 for a list of receive-only channels.
There is a 5 minute limit for continuous transmission. After 5
minutes the unit goes into a PTT error condition; the timeout
tone sounds, TX displays, and the channel indicators blink.
Boosting the transmission power
In most situations, 1W transmission power is all you need. If you nd yourself
far away from other stations and have trouble getting a response, you may
need to boost the transmission power from 1W to 2.5W or 6W.
Alkaline battery boost is limited to 2.5W
Channels 75 and 76 are 1W only and do not have power override
capability.
1) Select the channel you want to transmit on.
2) Press L/M/H to switch to the next transmission power level (for example,
from 1W to 2.5W; from 2.5W to 6W, or from 6W back to 1W).
3) The display shows the new transmission power. The transmit power re-
mains at the new setting until you change it again.
Don’t forget to change the transmission setting back to 1W when
you move close to other stations.
© Some channels (for example, channels 13 and 67) limit the transmission
power to 1W. When you tune to a limitedpower channel, the radio automati-
cally switches to 1W. See page 28 for a list of power-restricted channels.

Regulations and Safety Warnings
Basic Radio Guidelines
If you have a VHF radio on your boat, you must maintain a watch on channel 16
(156.800 MHz) whenever the radio is not being used to communicate. Starting
in 2004, if a radio is carried, it must be on and set to channel 16. Whenever
your boat is underway.
If you hear a distress call, wait a few minutes to let a shore station or Coast
Guard vessel respond. If no other station has responded after 5 minutes, you
must respond to the distress call.
Do not make false mayday or distress calls as a prank or to test your radio.
(This is essentially like making a false 9-1-1 call; you may be subject to nes.)
FCC/Industry Canada Information
Certication: FCC Part 80 or RSS-182
Output Power: 6W
Emission: 16K0F3E
Transmitter Frequency Range: 156.025-157.425 MHz
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
Unauthorized changes or modications to this equipment may void compliance
with the FCC Rules. Any change or modication must be approved in writing

FCC RF Exposure Information
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United
States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated
safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic en-
ergy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent
with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international stand-
ards bodies. The design of the radio complies with the FCC guidelines and
these international standards.
Never allow children to operate the radio without adult supervision and the
knowledge of the following guidelines.
WARNING! It is up to the user to properly operate this radio transmitter to
insure safe operation. Please adhere to the following:
35
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modi-
cations, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the radio, or violate
FCC regulations.Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please
contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.
Body-Worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations using the supplied
belt-clip. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, body-
worn operations are restricted to the supplied belt-clip. For handheld operation,
the radio should be held 1 inch from the user’s face. The use of accessories
that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements and should be avoided.
