allowingtheradiotosaveenergyandreducingtheriskofinterference.• Keypad lock - locks the transceiver keypad to avoid the accidental activation of buttons or

settings.• Batterydischargedicon-alertsyouwhenthebatteriesarelow.• Sockets for speaker and microphone - these sockets enable the use of various external

• You can use yourmarine transceiver either with Ni-MH rechargeable batteries or with nonrechargeablealkalineones.

• Channelscanning-automaticallysearchesformarinebandchannelsignals.

2. Above all… safety!2.1 Symbols usedForeaseandconvenienceofuse,thismanualusessymbolstohighlighturgentsituations,practicaladvice,andgeneralinformation.! Exclamation marks such as this one indicate a crucial description regarding technical

repairs, dangerous conditions, safety warnings, advice, and/or other important infor-mation. Ignoring these symbols may result in serious problems and/or damage and/orpersonal injury.

Notes such as this one indicate practical advice that we suggest be followed for the optimal performance of the equipment

2.2 Warnings

! DO NOT TRANSMIT WITH THE DAMAGED ANTENNA OR WITHOUT THE ANTENNA CONNECTED - although the radio is protected, this may seriously damage its R.F. powerstages. Do not use your transceiver if the antenna is damaged.

! Do not keep the antenna too close to your head and body during transmission.! Do not hold the transceiver by the antenna! This is a delicate part of the device and is

vital for the proper functioning of the radio.! Pay attention to environmental conditions - although the radio was designed to operate

under the most severe conditions it is important to avoid exposure to environments thatare excessively humid or dusty, or to temperatures outside the -15° to +55°C° range. Alsoavoid exposure to direct sunlight.

! Avoid strong mechanical shocks and excessive vibrations, the radio is designed to bearmechanical shocks and vibrations, provided that they’re the normal ones borne by anyelectrical equipment.

! Do not use the radio, its accessories, and/or substitute the batteries in potentiallyexplosive environments. A single spark may cause an explosion.

! BATTERIES - Strictly follow all the directions and warnings on the batteries stated atchapters 4.3 and 4.4

! Do not open the radio for any reason! The radio’s precision mechanics and electronicsrequire experience and specialized equipment; for the same reason, the radio shouldunder no circumstances be realigned as it has already been calibrated for maximumperformance. Unauthorized opening of the transceiver will void the warranty.

! Do not use detergents, alcohol, solvents, or abrasives to clean the equipment. Just usea soft, clean cloth. If the radio is very dirty, slightly dampen the cloth with a mixture ofwater and a neutral soap.

! Your VHF marine handheld transceiver has a built-in VHF radio transmitter. Be awarethat, when you press the PTT button, the radio emits radio frequency (R.F.) energy.

! Before using the radio, ensure that all protective covers and parts are in perfect operatingcondition, in order to ensure maximum protection against humidity and atmosphericagents.

• Non-rechargeablealkaline(1,5V)! Do not install rechargeable and alkaline batteries at the same

time in your transceiver. Always use the same batteries as aset (type and make) so that you can be sure their level of charge is the same.

! If you do not use the transceiver for a long time remo ve thebatteries/ battery pack.

4.2.b Removal1) Followsteps1and2ofpar4.2.a;2) Removethebatterypackfromthedevice;3) Follow steps 4 and 5 of par 4.2.a.

4.3 Recharging batteriesBatteries canbe rechargedwithout taking themout of the transceiver (but thedevicemust beturnedoff);batteriestake8-10hourstofullyrecharge(batterypack800mAh).

To recharge batteries by means of the 2-way car lighter charger: 1. CarefullylifttherubberprotectionofthesocketMIC/CHG.2. InsertthejackofthebatterychargerintothesocketMIC/CHGoftheradio,thenconnectthe

batterychargertothecarlightercharger.Chargingwillbegin3. Whencharging iscompletepullout thecharger’s jack fromtheradioanddetach it fromthe

mains.Replacetherubberprotectionmentionedinstep1.! Do not overcharge the batteries! When these are fully charged the charging process

does not stop automatically. Do not forget therefore, to remove the charger from thetransceiver as soon as the batteries are charged.

! Do not try to charge alkaline batteries or non rechargeable batteries. Make sure thatwhen you connect the charger only rechargeable batteries NI-MH should be containedin the batteries compartment! It is very dangerous attempting to recharge other types ofbatteries (for example alkaline batteries). Batteries which are not suitable to be rechargedmay leak, explode or even burn and cause damage!

! Usingadifferentbatterychargerotherthantheonespecifiedcancausedamagetoyourdevice or may even cause explosions and personal injuries.

! Donotthrowbatteriesintofireorplacethemnearheatasthismaycauseexplosionsor personal injuries. Dispose of the batteries according to procedures set out by localregulations.

! Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types or batteries which havebeen used in different manners. Every battery set which is being used must always becomposed of the same elements.

Recharge of the battery pack by means of the desktop charger and wall adaptor: Connect thesocketof thewalladaptor toamainspowersocketand insert the jackof thewalladaptorintothedesktopchargerplug.Placeyourtransceiverintothecradleofthedesktopcharger.Whenchargingiscompletetakethetransceiveroutofthecradleanddetachthesocketofthewalladaptorfromthemains.

4.4 Memory effect of rechargeable batteriesRechargeable NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydrate) batteries are affected by what is known as the“memory effect”. This phenomenon is associated with a drastic reduction of battery autonomyandistriggeredifthebatteriesareregularlychargedbeforebeingfullydischargedand/orarenotcompletelyrecharged.Toavoidthememoryeffect:• When possible, recharge the batteries only when they are completely discharged (until the
