3 ABOUT THIS RADIO
3.1 ABOUT THE VHF MARINE BAND
WARNING
The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band are between 156
and 162 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over
distances that are essentially “Line of sight” Actual transmission range
depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power
output of the transmitter. The expected transmit distance a 25W Fixed
Mount VHF radio can be greater than 25 km, for a portable radio trans-
mission the expected distance can be greater than 8 km 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 88 section 15.
3.2 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 on the left side of the transceiver, 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 harbour 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 one
minute.
HX851EPage 10
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.
3.3 CALLING ANOTHER VESSEL
(
CHANNEL 16
)
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 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 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 channel 16 for your initial contact.
When the hailing channel 16 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, immedi-
ately request another channel by saying “go to”, the number of the other chan-
nel, 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.
3.4 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-1 (2.5 Watts), Medium-2 (5 Watts), or
Page 11HX851E
High (6 Watts) power. When you change from this channel then return to it,
Low Power will be automatically selected.
3.5 OPERATING ON CHANNEL 67
When channel 67 is used for navigational bridge-to-bridge traffic between ships,
High, Medium-2, or Medium-1 power may be used temporarily (in the USA
band) by pressing the
[
H/L
( )]
key. When you select this channel again, the
transceiver will revert to low power.
3.6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read this manual carefully to become familiar with the features of
this transceiver before using it for first time.
Do not transmit the radio without an antenna connected.
When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone
2.5 to 5 cm away from your mouth and keep the base of the antenna at
least 19 cm away from your head.
The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceed-
ing 50 %, in typical Push-to-Talk (PTT) configurations. DO NOT transmit
for more than 50 % of total radio use time (50 % duty cycle). Transmitting
more than 50 % of the time can cause RF exposure compliance require-
ments to be exceeded.
The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the front panel of the radio
is illuminated. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT
button or by using the VOX headset, if the radio is supported.
Always use the Vertex Standard authorized Battery Pack.
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of
used batteries according to your local country instructions.
Only perform battery charging where the ambient temperature range is
between 0 °C to +45 °C. Charging outside of this range could cause dam-
age to the battery pack.
Battery Pack should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine,
fire or the like.
Always use Vertex Standard authorized accessories.
Vertex Standard shall not be liable for any damage or accidents such as
fire, leakage or explosion of batteries, etc., caused by the malfunction of
non-Vertex Standard accessories.
This radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode.
This radio is designed for and classified as occupational use only, mean-
ing it must be used only by individuals aware of hazards, and the ways to
minimize such hazards. This radio is not intended for use by the General
Population in an uncontrolled environment.

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-38 Charger Cradle with the NC-88C/U battery charger.
The NC-88C/U 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
when it is mounted on the transceiver are charging terminals only and do not
constitute a hazard.
Page 13HX851E
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:
Battery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environments;
Use only STANDARD HORIZON-approved batteries;
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.
Follow charging instructions provided with the chargers.
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 batteries.

)]
key, followed by the
[
]
/
[
]
key) to desired listening level. The “ ” indi-
cator will appear on the display indicating that the channel is being used.
Page 23HX851E
NOTE
When the HX851E receives and computes a fix using
the internal GPS, a “ ” icon will appear on the upper
right corner of the display. Position and time will ap-
pear on the lower left corner of the display. When the
transceiver fails to receive a fix, the radio will show
the lower right display. In this case, you may be in a
poor location for satellite reception, such as indoor
use; try moving to a less obstructed position.
When the HX851E is first turned on, it may take several minutes to
compute a fix of your position. This is normal, as the HX851E is down-
loading “almanac” information from the GPS satellites.
6.4 TRANSMISSION
1. Perform the “6.3 RECEPTION” discussion above.
2. Before transmitting, monitor the channel and make sure it is clear.
3. For communications over short distances, press the
[
H/L
( )]
key until
” is displayed on the display. This indicates Low
power (approximately 1 watt).
Note: Transmitting on 1 watt prolongs battery life. Low

7 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING
7.1 GENERAL
WARNING
This radio is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and safety
call to facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety device,
this equipment must be used only within communication range of a shore-
based VHF marine channel 70 distress and safety watch system. The
range of signal may vary but under normal conditions should be ap-
proximately 20 nautical miles.
Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of establishing a radio
call, it has been designated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO)
as an international standard for establishing VHF, MF and HF radio calls. It has
also been designated as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety Sys-
tem (GMDSS). It is planned that DSC will eventually replace aural watches on
distress frequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime
safety information broadcasts.
This system allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS position
to the Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the transmission. DSC
will also allow mariners to initiate or receive Distress, Urgency, Safety, Rou-
tine, Position Request, and Position Send, and Group calls to or from another
vessel equipped with a DSC transceiver.
7.2 MARITIME MOBILE SERVICE IDENTITY
(
MMSI
)
7.2.1 WHAT IS AN MMSI?
An MMSI is a nine digit number used on Marine Transceivers capable of using
Digital Selective Calling (DSC). This number is used like a telephone number
to selectively call other vessels.
THIS NUMBER MUST BE PROGRAMMED INTO THE RADIO TO OPERATE
THE HX851E DSC FUNCTIONS.
Page 31HX851E
7.2.2 USER MMSI PROGRAMMING
WARNING
A user MMSI can be inputted only once (as per governmental regula-
tion). Therefore please be careful not to input the incorrect MMSI num-
ber. If you need to change the MMSI after it has been programmed, the
radio will have to be returned to Factory Service. Refer to the section

IMPORTANT NOTE
VHF handhelds used in the United States should use the MMSI assigned
to the ship to which the handheld is primarily associated, even if another
radio on that ship uses the same MMSI. If you plan to use the handheld
on other boats, you might want a separate MMSI number so that you can
update the registration according to which boat it is currently on.
European users should check with the local marine regulatory authority in
their country for assistance in obtaining an MMSI for handheld DSC radio.

distress, but have a potential problem that may lead to a dis-
tress situation. This call is the same as saying PAN PAN PAN
on channel 16.
SAFETY Call: Used to transmit boating safety information to other vessels.
This message usually contains information about an over-
due boat, debris in the water, loss of a navigation aid or an
important meteorological message. This call is the same as

7.7 GROUP CALL
This feature allows the user to contact a group of specific vessels (example
members of a yacht club) using DSC radios with Group call function to auto-
matically switch to a desired channel for voice communications. This function
is very useful for yacht clubs and vessels traveling together that want to collec-
tively make announcements on a predetermined channel. The HX851E can
memorize up to 8 group address.
7.7.1 SETUP A GROUP CALL
For this function to operate the same Group MMSI must be programmed into
all the DSC VHF radios within the group of vessels that will be using this fea-
ture. To understand about Group MMSI programming, first a Ship MMSI has to
be understood.
Ship MMSI: The first three digits called a MID (Mobile Identity Group) of a Ship
MMSI denote the country the ship registered for a MMSI. The last 6 digits are
specific to the Ships ID.
Ship MMSI Example: If your MMSI is “366123456”, “366” is MID which denote
the country and “123456” is Ships ID for you.
Group MMSI:
FCC or other organizations licensed to assign ship MMSI numbers. Euro-
pean users should check with the local marine regulatory authority in their
country for assistance in assigning a group MMSI number.
The first digit of a Group MMSI is always set to “0” by International rules.
All Standard Horizon radios are preset so when programming a Group
MMSI the first digit is set to “0”.
The USCG recommends programming the MID of a ships MMSI into the
Second, Third and Fourth digits of the Group MMSI as it denotes the area
the ship is located in.
The last 5 digits are decided upon by persons in the Group. This is an
important step as all radios in the Group must contain the same Group
MMSI so they can be contacted by each other. There is a chance that
another group of vessels may program in the same Group MMSI. If this
happens, simply change one or more of the last 5 digits of the Group MMSI.

zon GPS chart plotter is connected to the HX851E through the CD-38, the
polled position of the vessel is shown on the display of the GPS chart plotter
making it easy to navigate to the location of the polled vessel. This is a great
feature for anyone wanting to know the position of another vessel. For ex-
ample your buddy that is catching fish, or finding the location of a person you
are cruising with.

DSC transceiver and must not have its transceiver set to deny position
requests. (Refer the section “7.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL” to enter informa-
tion into the Individual Directory).

17 INSTALLATION OF OPTIONS
17.1 FBA-38 ALKALINE BATTERY CASE
The optional FBA-38 is a battery case that holds five “AAA” size Alkaline bat-
teries and is used with the HX851E transceiver. The Alkaline batteries can be
used for receiving and transmission in an emergency, and battery life will be
shortened dramatically. When the Alkaline batteries are used, we recommend
to reduce the Transmit Output Power to “LOW” to conserve battery life.
1. Slide the five “AAA” size Alkaline batteries into the FBA-38 with the Nega-
tive
()
side of the batteries touching the spring connections inside the
FBA-38.
2. Insert the FBA-38 into the battery rest on the bottom of the transceiver,
and then turn the Battery Pack Lock to the “LOCK” position with a coin.
NOTE
When the FBA-38 Alkaline Battery Case is used, the HX851E is not
able to transmit using 6 W power output.
