RF EXPOSURE SAFETY STATEMENT

SAFETY INFORMATION

Your wireless handheld portable transceiver contains a low power trans-

mitter. When the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pushed, the transceiver

sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal

Communications Commission adopted RF exposure guidelines with

safety levels for hand-held wireless devices.

This device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50%

(this corresponds to 50% transmission time and 50% reception time).

WARNING: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guide-

lines, this transmitter and its antenna must maintain a separation dis-

tance of at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your face. Speak in a

normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away from the face at the

required separation distance.

If you use a headset accessory for this radio, with the radio worn on

your body, use only the Vertex Standard belt clip for this transceiver, and

ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your

body when transmitting.

Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,

or attachments could damage the transmitter, and may violate FCC regu-

lations.

Page 9HX760S

3. ABOUT THIS RADIO

3.1 ABOUT THE VHF MARINE BAND

WARNING

The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156

and 158 MHz with NOAA Weather stations available between 161 and

163 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over dis-

tances that are essentially “Line of sight” Actual transmission range de-

pends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power

output of the transmitter. On a fixed mount 25 W radio transmission

expected distances can be greater than 15 miles, for a portable 6 W

radio transmission the expected distance can be greater than 5 miles in

“Line of sight”.

The user of a Marine VHF radio is subject to severe fines if the radio is

used on land. The reasoning for this is you may be near an inland water-

way, or propagation anomalies may cause your transmission to be heard

in a waterway. If this occurs, depending upon the marine VHF channel

on which you are transmitting, you could interfere with a search and

rescue case, or contribute to a collision between passing ships. For

VHF Marine channel assignments refer to page 42 section 10.

HX760SPage 10

4. GETTING STARTED

4.1 RADIO CARE

CAUTION

Before following the instructions below, insure the speaker microphone

jack, antenna and battery are in place and firmly tightened. Care must

be taken if the radio was dropped and a close inspection may be needed

to insure the radio case and gaskets are in adequate condition.

Clean the radio with fresh water after exposure to salt water by rinsing the

radio under a sink faucet or by dunking the radio in a bucket of fresh water.

After washing, use a soft cloth and thoroughly dry all parts of the radio. This is

to keep the rubber switches and speaker grill clean and in top operating condi-

tion.

4.2 BATTERIES AND CHARGERS

If the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged

by connecting the CD-39 Charger Cradle with the NC-88B battery charger, as

shown in the illustration. If 12V DC power is available, the optional E-DC-19A

DC Cable with 12 V Cigarette Lighter Plug or the optional E-DC-6 DC Cable

may be used for charging the battery. The NC-88B, E-DC-19A, and E-DC-6

will charge a completely discharged FNB-V99LI battery pack in about 8 hours.

The FNB-V99LI is a high performance Li-Ion battery providing high capacity in

a compact package.

CAUTION

To avoid risk of explosion and injury, FNB-V99LI battery pack should

only be removed, charged or recharged in non-hazardous environments.

4.2.1 BATTERY SAFETY

Battery packs for your transceiver contain Li-Ion batteries. This type of battery

stores a charge powerful enough to be dangerous if misused or abused, espe-

cially when removed from the transceiver. Please observe the following pre-

cautions:

DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS: Shorting the terminals that

power the transceiver can cause sparks, severe overheating, burns, and bat-

tery cell damage. If the short is of sufficient duration, it is possible to melt

battery components. Do not place a loose battery pack on or near metal sur-

faces or objects such as paper clips, keys, tools, etc. When the battery pack is

installed on the transceiver, the terminals that transfer current to the trans-

ceiver are not exposed. The terminals that are exposed on the battery pack

Page 11HX760S

when it is mounted on the transceiver are charging terminals only and do not

constitute a hazard.

DO NOT INCINERATE: Do not dispose of any battery in a fire or incinerator.

The heat of fire may cause battery cells to explode and/or release dangerous

gases.

Battery Maintenance

For safe and proper battery use, please observe the following:

y Battery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environments;

y Use only STANDARD HORIZON-approved batteries;

y Use only a STANDARD HORIZON, (a Marine Division of VERTEX

STANDARD) approved charger. The use of any other charger may

cause permanent damage to the battery.

y Follow charging instructions provided with the chargers.

y Keep the battery contacts clean.

Battery Storage

Store the batteries in a cool place to maximize storage life. Since batteries are

subject to self-discharge, avoid high storage temperatures that cause large

self-discharge rates. After extended storage, a full recharge is recommended.

Battery Recycling

DO NOT PLACE USED BATTERIES IN YOUR REGULAR TRASH!

LI-ION BATTERIES MUST BE COLLECTED, RECYCLED OR DISPOSED

OF IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND MANNER.

The incineration, land filling or mixing of Li-Ion batteries with the municipal

solid waste stream is PROHIBITED BY LAW in most areas.

Return batteries to an approved Li-Ion battery recycler. This may be where

you purchased the battery.

Contact your local waste management officials for other information regarding

the environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of Li-Ion batter-

ies.

play and the TX/BUSY indicator will grow red.

7. Position your mouth about 1/2 to 1 inch (1.2 ~ 2.5 cm)

away from the small mic hole. Speak slowly and clearly into the micro-

phone.

8. When the transmission is finished, release the PTT switch.

6.4.1 TRANSMIT TIME - OUT TIMER

(

TOT

)

While the PTT switch is held down, transmission time is limited to 5 minutes.

This prevents prolonged (unintentional) transmissions. About 10 seconds be-

fore automatic transmitter shutdown, a warning beep sounds from the speaker.

The transceiver automatically switches to the receiving mode, even if the PTT

switch is held down. Before transmitting again, the PTT switch must first be

released, then wait 10 seconds and then pressed again. This Time-Out-Timer

(TOT) prevents a continuous transmission that would result from an acciden-

tally stuck PTT switch.

” on page 38 for details.

6.8.2 NOAA WEATHER ALERT TESTING

In the event of a major storm or other appreciable weather condition requiring

vessels at sea (or other bodies of water) to be notified, the NOAA (National

Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) broadcasts a 1050 Hz tone

that some VHF radios, including your HX760S, can detect for “Weather Alarm”

purposes (refer to section “6.8.1 NOAA WEATHER ALERT” for a discussion

of how to use this feature). The 1050 Hz tone, when detected, will produce a

loud beep in the speaker of the HX760S, to signal that a Weather Alert Broad-

cast is being received.

In order to test this system, NOAA broadcasts the 1050 Hz tone every Wednes-

day sometime between 11 AM and 1 PM local time. You may use this opportu-

nity to test your HX760S periodically to confirm that the Weather Alert feature

is working, or for training crew members on how to configure the HX760S to

receive the NOAA Weather Alerts.

6.14 EMERGENCY

(

CHANNEL 16 USE

)

Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency may be

defined as a threat to life or property. In such instances, be sure the trans-

ceiver is on and set to CHANNEL 16. Then use the following procedure:

1. Press the PTT (Push-To-Talk) switch and say “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.

This is _____, _____, _____” (your vessel’s name).

2. Then repeat once: “Mayday, _____” (your vessel’s name).

3. Now report your position in latitude/longitude, or by giving a true or mag-

netic bearing (state which) to a well-known landmark such as a navigation

aid or geographic feature such as an island or harbor entry.

4. Explain the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, fire, heart

attack, life-threatening injury, etc.).

5. State the kind of assistance your desire (pumps, medical aid, etc.).

6. Report the number of persons aboard and condition of any injured.

7. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel.

8. Give your vessel’s description: length, design (power or sail), color and

other distinguishing marks. The total transmission should not exceed 1

minute.

9. End the message by saying “OVER”. Release the PTT switch and listen.

10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no re-

sponse, try another channel.

Page 29HX760S

6.15 CALLING ANOTHER VESSEL

(

CHANNEL 16 OR 9

)

Channel 16 may be used for initial contact (hailing) with another vessel.

However, its most important use is for emergency messages. This channel

must be monitored at all times except when actually using another channel.

It is monitored by the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards and by other vessels.

Use of channel 16 for hailing must be limited to initial contact only. Calling

should not exceed 30 seconds, but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute inter-

vals. In areas of heavy radio traffic, congestion on channel 16 resulting from its

use as a hailing channel can be reduced significantly in U.S. waters by using

Channel 9 as the initial contact (hailing) channel for non-emergency communi-

cations. Here, also, calling time should not exceed 30 seconds but may be

repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals.

Prior to making contact with another vessel, refer to the channel charts in this

manual, and select an appropriate channel for communications after initial

contact. For example, Channels 68 and 69 of the U.S. VHF Charts are some of

the channels available to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. Monitor your

desired channel in advance to make sure you will not be interrupting other

traffic, and then go back to either channel 16 or 9 for your initial contact.

When the hailing channel (16 or 9) is clear, state the name of the other vessel

you wish to call and then “this is” followed by the name of your vessel and

your Station License (Call Sign). When the other vessel returns your call, im-

mediately request another channel by saying “go to”, the number of the other

channel, and “over”. Then switch to the new channel. When the new channel

is not busy, call the other vessel.

After a transmission, say “over”, and release the PTT (Push-To-Talk) switch.

When all communication with the other vessel is completed, end the last trans-

mission by stating your Call Sign and the word “out”. Note that it is not neces-

sary to state your Call Sign with each transmission, only at the beginning and

end of the contact.

Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some

radios automatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or

when scanning.

HX760SPage 30

6.16 OPERATING ON CHANNEL 13

Channel 13 is used at docks, bridges and for maneuvering in port. Messages

on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing in

restricted waters. In emergencies and when approaching blind river bends,

High power is allowed. Pressing the

[

H/L

( )]

key will change the power out-

put from Low Power (1 Watt) to Medium (2.5 Watts), High (5 Watts), or Normal

(6 Watts). When you change from this channel then return to it, low power will

be automatically selected.

9. MAINTENANCE

9.1 GENERAL

The inherent quality of the solid-state components in STANDARD HORIZON

radios will provide many years of continuous use. Take the following precau-

tions to prevent damage to the radio.

y To prevent corrosion of electrical contacts and keep the water resistance,

keep the microphone connected or the jack covered at all times.

y Never key the transmitter unless an antenna or suitable dummy load is

connected to the antenna receptacle.

y Ensure that the input voltage does not exceed the value specified in your

Owner’s Manual.

y Use only STANDARD HORIZON-approved accessories and replacement

parts.

10. VHF MARINE CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS

Tables on the following pages list the VHF Marine Channel assignments for

U.S.A. and International use. Below are listed some data about the charts.

1. VTS. Where indicated, these channels are part of the U.S. Coast Guard’s

Vessel Traffic System.

2. Alpha channel numbers, that is, channel numbers followed by the letter A

(such as Channel 07A) are simplex channels on the U.S.A. or Canadian

channel assignments whose counterparts in the International assignments

are duplex channels. International channels do not use “alpha” numbers.

If you call the Coast Guard on Channel 16, they will sometimes ask you to

“go to channel 22 Alpha.” This is a channel assigned to U.S.A, and Cana-

dian Coast Guards for handling distress and other calls. If your radio is set

for International operation you will go to Channel 22 instead of 22A, and

will not be able to communicate with the Coast Guard. To use Channel

22A, your radio must be set for USA or Canada operation, usually by a U/

I/C (USA/International/Canada) control or combination of controls. Chan-

nel 22 (without an “A”) is an International duplex channel for port opera-

tions. Some radios indicate an “A” adjacent to the alpha channels on the

display; on others “alpha” is not indicated but the proper channel is se-

lected based on the U/I/C setting.

3. Bridge-to-Bridge channels (for example, Channel 13) are for use by bridge

operators on inter-coastal waterways and rivers. It is also used by marine

vessels in the vicinity of these bridges for navigation and for communicat-

ing with the bridge operators. Note that a limit of 1 Watt is specified for

these channels.

4. The S/D column on the chart indicates either S (simplex) or D (duplex).

Simplex means transmitting and receiving on the same frequency. Only

one party at a time can talk, unlike a telephone. Be sure to say “over” and

release your microphone push-to-talk switch at the end of each transmis-

sion. Duplex operation involves the use of one frequency for transmitting

and a separate frequency for receiving. On channels specified as duplex

on the charts, correct mode of operation is established automatically by

your radio when you select a channel; you cannot change the mode. And

you still must release the push-to-talk switch after each transmission in

order to listen to the radio.

5. Channels normally used by recreational boaters are those that include the

term “non-commercial” in the Channel Use column of the chart. Some of

these are shared with other users and some are used only in certain geo-

graphic regions.

Page 43HX760S

6. Marine vessels equipped with VHF radios are required to monitor

Channel 16.
