CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER AND MICROPHONE THOROUGHLY WITH FRESH WATER after exposure to water including salt, otherwise, the keys and switch may become inoperable due to salt crystallization. i IN CASE OF EMERGENCY If your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels and the Coast Guard by sending a Distress call on Channel 16. 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 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. [. . . ] (Refer to the right page for details. ) Choose Priority or Normal scan in Set mode. 43) PRIORITY SCAN CH 01 CH 02 NORMAL SCAN CH 01 CH 02 CH 06 CH 16 CH 03 CH 06 CH 03 CH 05 CH 04 CH 05 CH 04 Priority scan searches through all TAG channels in sequence while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is detected on Channel 16, scan pauses until the signal disappears; when a signal is detected on a channel other than Channel 16, scan becomes Dualwatch until the signal disappears. 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. 14 SCAN OPERATION 5 I Setting TAG channels For more efficient scanning, add the desired channels as TAG channels or clear the TAG for unwanted channels. TAG channels can be assigned to each channel group (INT, USA, ATIS or DSC) independently. q While pushing and holding [H/L], push [DIAL] several times to select the desired channel group. e Push [F], then push [5· TAG ] to set the displayed channel as a TAG channel. T · "TAG" appears in the display. I Starting a scan Set scan type (Priority or Normal scan) and scan resume timer in advance using Set mode. 43) q While pushing and holding [H/L], push [DIAL] several times to select the channel group, if desired. r Push [F], then push [4· SCN ] to start Priority or Normal scan. P N · "PRI-SCAN 16" or "NORMAL SCAN" appears in the display. · When a signal is detected, scan pauses until the signal disappears or resumes after pausing 5 sec. (Channel 16 is still monitored during Priority scan. ) YZ · Rotate [SELECTOR] or push [Y]/[Z] on the microphone to check the scanning TAG channels, to change the scanning direction or resume the scan manually. · Push [3·DEF] to edit E; East longitude or [9·WXY] to edit W; West longitude. · Push [CLR] to cancel and exit the condition. <CENull <CE Null Data> <CLRExit <CLR Exit / ENT OK> ENTOK> r Push [ENT] to set the time and return to the DSC menu. E t Push [CLR] or rotate [SELECTOR] to select "Exit , " push [ENT] to return to the normal operation condition. 18 DSC OPERATION 6 I Position and Time indication When a GPS receiver (NMEA0183 ver. 2. 0 or 3. 01) is connected, the transceiver displays the current position and time. When no GPS receiver is connected, the transceiver displays the manually entered position and time. A GPS receiver appropriate for the IC-M126DSC is not supplied from Icom. Ask your dealer about suitable GPS receivers. 25W TAG INT I GPS information indication When a GPS receiver (NMEA0183 ver. 2. 0 or 3. 01) is connected, the transceiver displays the GPS information after pushing and holding [ENT] for 1 sec. --GPS Info-- Push for 1 sec. DATE UTC POS : JUN/16/2006 : 12:00 : 34°34. 506N 123°23. 236W COURSE: 261°M SPEED : 18. 5kt 6 34°34. 506N 123°23. 236W UTC 12:00 When connecting GPS receiver is compatible with several sentence formatters, the order of input precedence is `RMC, ' `GGA, ' `GNS', `GLL' and `VTG. ' CALLING When the connecting GPS receiver is compatible with several sentence formatters, the order of input precedence is `RMC, ' `GGA, ' `GNS' and `GLL. ' When sentence formatter `RMC' is received, time indication includes a date. Thus, the "UTC" or "Local" indication is not displayed. "??" may blink instead of position and time indications when the GPS data is invalid, or has not been manually updated after 4 hours. 19 6 DSC OPERATION I Distress call A Distress call should be transmitted if, in the opinion of the Master, the ship or a person is in distress and requires immediate assistance. e After transmitting the call, the transceiver waits for an acknowledgment call on Channel 70. · The Distress call is automatically transmitted every 3. 5 to 4. 5 minutes. [. . . ] See the following the case disassembly procedure when you want to install an optional unit. w Turn the transceiver upside down, then disconnect the 3 flat cables and Rear mic connector (6-pin) from LOGIC board, and Front mic connector (2-pin) and Volume connector (3-pin) from AF board. Volume connector (3-pin) Rear mic connector (6-pin) Flat cables e Install an optional unit to J3 on the AF board as shown below. Optional unit J3 AF board r Assemble the units to their original positions. LOGIC board AF board CAUTION: · Tighten the screws with the specified torque (0. 7 N. m) when assembling the transceiver. Otherwise the transceiver may be damaged (torque too high) or lose waterproof efficiency (torque too low). Wiggling the unit from side to side may damage the optional unit's connector. Front mic connector (2-pin) 50 CONNECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE 9 I HM-162E installation [COMMAND MIC-1] [COMMAND MIC-2] HM-162E The optional HM-162E should be installed to the transceiver using the supplied connection cable.
