SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL -- This instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-M302. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS DEFINITION Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock R WARNING! [. . . ] When the Weather alert function is in use, the selected weather channel is checked while scanning. 29) PRIORITY SCAN CH 01 CH 02 Set the tag channels (scanned channel) before scanning. Clear the tag channels which inconveniently stop scanning, such as those for digital communication use. 29) 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. 12 SCAN OPERATION 5 I Setting tag channels For more efficient scanning, add desired channels as tag channels or clear the tag for unwanted channels. Tag channels can be assigned to each channel group (USA, INT, CAN) independently. q Select the desired channel group (USA, INT, CAN) by pushing both [Y] and [Z]. to be set the displayed channel as a tag channel. ·" " appears in the display. I Starting a scan Set scan type (Priority or Normal) and scan resume timer in advance, using Set mode. e Select the channel group (USA, CAN, INT) by pushing both [Y] and [Z] on the transceiver, if desired. r Push [SCAN·TAG] to start Priority or Normal scan. ·" " or " " appears at the channel comment indicator. · 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. ) · Push [Y] or [Z] to check the scanning tag channels, to change the scanning direction or resume the scan manually. · " " blinks at the channel comment indicator and a beep tone sounds when a signal is received on Channel 16 during Priority scan. 5 r To cancel the tag channel setting, push [SCAN·TAG] for 1 sec. ·" " disappears. Clearing (or setting) all tagged channels While pushing [HI/LO] on the microphone, push [SCAN·TAG] for 3 sec. (until a long beep changes to 2 short beeps) to clear all tag channels in the channel group. · Repeat above procedure to set all tag channels. t To stop the scan, push [SCAN·TAG]. [Example]: Starting a normal scan. Push Scan starts. When a signal is received. 13 6 DSC OPERATION I MMSI code check The 9-digit MMSI (DSC self ID) code can be checked. w Push [Y] or [Z] to select " " and push [DSC·POS]. I MMSI code programming The 9-digit MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity: DSC self ID) code can be programmed at power ON. This function is not available when the MMSI code has been programmed by the dealer. w While pushing [DSC·POS], turn power ON to enter MMSI code programming condition. e After the display appears, release [DSC·POS]. · A cursor starts blinking. e Check the 9-digit MMSI (DSC self ID) code. · The MMSI code is displayed at the channel comment indicator. r Edit the specified MMSI code by pushing [Y] or [Z]. · Push [16·9] or [CH/WX·DUAL] to move the cursor forward or backward, respectively. MMSI (DSC self ID) code t Input 9-digit code, then push [DSC·POS] to set the code. · Returns to the normal operation. r Push [DSC·POS] to exit the DSC menu. 14 DSC OPERATION 6 I DSC individual ID A total of 30 DSC address IDs (9-digit) can be programmed and named with up to 5 characters. r Push [Y] or [Z] to input 9-digit of the appropriate Individual/Group ID. · Push [16·9] or [CH/WX·DUAL] to move the cursor forward or backward, respectively. Thus an address ID input cannot start with `0. ' When you input 1st digit `0' and other 8 digits, the ID is automatically registered as a group ID. D Programming Address ID/Group ID q Push [DSC·POS] to enter the DSC menu. [. . . ] Yellow: NMEA IN (+) Green: NMEA IN ( ) w EXTERNAL SPEAKER LEAD Connects to an external speaker.
