Operating procedures | RS90 Operating Manual Draft v5.0 27 Feb 2014 Receiving SAME alerts (US model only) The NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio Service (NWR) works in conjunction with the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to issue weather alerts for specific geographic areas or weather warnings. It uses a digital encoding system known as Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) to broadcast these alerts. Each transmitter in the NWR network is identified with a unique 6-digit SAME code. If SAME is enabled and the 6-digit country IDs you want to monitor have been entered, the radio will sound the weather alarm when it detects a weather alert on the selected weather channel. For SAME alert setup, see Setting up SAME alert on page 78. Receiving a SAME ALERT If SAME ALERT is ON and an NWR or EAS alert for your geographic area is broadcast, the RS90 detects the alert signal and sounds the alarm. Press any key to cancel the alarm. If the alert is being sent by NOAA NWR, the radio automatically tunes to the designated frequency so that you can listen to the alert. If the alert is being sent by the EAS, the nature of the alert is shown on screen as WARNING, WATCH, ADVISORY, or TEST. Press any key to show the nature of the alert. Note: The list of alerts is shown in Appendix 5 - Beep tones and call alerts on page 102. Receiving SAME TEST messages In addition to the WARNING, WATCH and ADVISORY alerts, the EAS also send out TEST messages so that you can check that your WX ALERT setup is working correctly. The TEST message is usually transmitted between 1000 and 1200 (10.00AM and noon) every Wednesday. If your WX ALERT setup is working correctly, the alert sounds and TEST is displayed on screen, followed by a broadcast message from the National Weather Service. Note: If there is a threat of severe weather, the test will be postponed until the next fine weather day. Operating procedures | RS90 Operating Manual

Waypoint procedures | RS90 Operating Manual Draft v5.0 27 Feb 2014 6 DSC Procedures Introduction to DSC DSC (Digital Selective Calling) is part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System. It allows radio stations to contact each other on a dedicated digital channel (channel 70). The radios automatically exchange the digital contact and acknowledgement messages on channel 70, freeing up the other VHF channels for voice communications. Once they have established contact, both radios automatically switch to a VHF working channel for the operators to carry out normal voice communication. Each DSC radio has a unique 9-digit number, known as a Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI), which is used to contact that individual radio. DSC radios continuously monitor channel 70 irrespective of what other channels they are working on. If someone calls your vessel via DSC, your radio will sound an alert tone for you to respond to the call. If the RS90 radio is connected to a GPS system, it will automatically send your location when calling other stations. This is especially useful for distress calls. DSC process The calling and acknowledging process on channel 70 operates as follows:

1. The calling radio transmits a DSC signal on channel 70. 2. Receiving radio(s) sound alert tones for their operators. 3. For individual, LL request and DSC test calls, the receiving radio sends a DSC acknowledge signal on channel 70. 4. Both the calling and receiving radios switch to a working VHF channel (except for LL request and DSC test calls). 5. Calling and receiving operators commence normal VHF voice communications on the working channel. 6. Press [X] to return to standby mode. DSC Procedures | RS90 Operating Manual

| 41 Draft v5.0 27 Feb 2014 Distress calls DSC is particularly useful for sending distress signals to all stations. The process is automated to the extent that if you are under stress, you can simply press a single, dedicated distress buttonthe red button beneath the red cover on top of the RS90 handset. When sending a distress call, the DSC radio automatically transmits as much information as is available, including:

The MMSI of the ship in distress;

The position of the ship in distress; (If the radio is connected to a GPS);

The nature of the distress. Notes Before the DSC functions can be used, you must enter a valid MMSI into the RS90 radio. See Entering or viewing your individual MMSI on page 81. If the small DSC icon is not displayed on the standby screen, DSC may have been turned off in settings. See Enabling DSC functionality on page 84. Soft Keys A soft key is a name that appears at the bottom of the screen and provides additional functionality to the [SCAN] and/or [OK] and/or

[3CH] buttons during DSC operations. Dot symbols on the handset keys and just under the display screen indicate which keys correspond to the soft keys as follows:

DSC Procedures | RS90 Operating Manual Draft v5.0 27 Feb 2014

ATIS EU models only. The Automatic Transmitter Identification System (ATIS) is mandatory for vessels navigating on some European waterways. The system allows authorities to monitor and regulate VHF radio communications by identifying any vessel that makes a VHF transmission. Each vessel is required to have an ATIS-enabled radio on board and is allocated a unique ATIS Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI). Each time a radio operator finishes talking and releases the PTT key, the radio transmits a short digital message, which includes the ATIS MMSI. The receiving station can then look up details of the vessel, saving time in communication on the busy VHF channels. Unlike DSC, the ATIS signal is transmitted on the same VHF channel as the voice transmission. Before you can enable ATIS, you must enter the ATIS MMSI. See Entering or checking your ATIS MMSI on page 83. Before you can enable ATIS, DSC must be turned off. See Enabling DSC functionality on page 84. To enable ATIS, see Enabling ATIS functionality on page 83. Notes ATIS is disabled in US models. When ATIS is enabled, the ATIS icon appears on screen. In some European countries SCAN functionality is limited, and, if ATIS is enabled, the 3CH SCAN and Dual scan modes will be disabled. DSC Procedures | RS90 Operating Manual

| 65 Draft v5.0 27 Feb 2014 7 AIS procedures The marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a vessel location and information reporting system. It allows vessels to automatically share information such as position, speed, course and identity via a VHF radio link. The received details of nearby vessels can be displayed on the handset screen together with closest point of approach times and distances. These details are also sent to the NMEA ports for display on a chart plotter if one is connected. Closest point of approach (CPA) is the calculated closest distance between your vessel and a target vessel based on the current speed and course. Time to closest point of approach (T/CPA) is the calculated time for a target vessel to arrive at the closest point of approach based on the current speed and course. If the radio detects that another vessel will come closer than the set CPA distance and within the set T/CPA time, the CPA alarm will sound. Both conditions must be met for the CPA alarm to sound. For information on enabling AIS and setting the CPA time and distance criteria, see AIS Setup on page 88. For general information about AIS, see Appendix 9 - AIS information on page 105. For information on how to configure your chart plotter or software to make use of the RS90 AIS data, see the manual provided with that product. Notes Before the AIS functions can be used, the RS90 must receive its own position from a GPS device, or manually entered data. The RS90 VHF radio includes an AIS receiver but does not transmit. To access the AIS displays:

Press [AIS]

Repeat press [AIS] to switch between the three available displays:

Press [3CH] to zoom in. Press [Scan] to zoom out. Scales available are 1nm / 2 nm / 4 nm / 8 nm / 16 nm / 32 nm. T/CPA screen The Time and Closest Point of Approach (T/CPA) screen shows the closest point of approach settings together with a list of vessels that will approach within those criteria. CPA alert distance is set up in MENU AIS SETUP CPA. (See Setting up the CPA distance on page 89.) T/CPA alert time is set up in MENU AIS SETUP TCPA. (See Setting up the T/CPA time on page 90.) The approaching AIS targets details will be listed on the left of the screen. Once the vessel is within alert distance (CPA) or time (T/CPA), it will be placed in the T/CPA list. The alert sounds for every vessel within the criteria every time their AIS signal is received. T/CPA APPROACH 1/ 9 05:00min 8 nM In the example above, the criteria are: 5:00min and 8nM. Notes:

The scale on the T/CPA Approach screen is automatically set to the optimum for the selected target. You cannot zoom in or out on this screen. If the radio detects a T/CPA or CPA breach, the T/CPA Approach screen will automatically popup with an alert tone. Press [X] to stop the alert; otherwise, the alert will sound again after 1 minute. 68 |

- Troubleshooting 1. The radio will not power up. A fuse may have blown or there is no voltage getting to the transceiver. Check the power cable for cuts, breaks, or squashed sections. After checking the wiring, replace the 7 Amp fuse. Check the battery voltage. This must be at least 10.5V. 2. The transceiver blows the fuse when the power is switched on. The power wires may have been reversed. Check that the red wire is connected to the positive battery terminal, and the black wire is connected to the negative battery terminal. 3. The speaker makes popping or whining noises when the vessels engine is running. Electrical noise may be interfering with the transceiver. Re-route the power cables away from the engine. Add a noise suppressor to the power cable. Use resistive spark plug wires and/or use an alternator whine filter. 4. No sound from the external speaker. Check that the external speaker cable is physically connected. Check the soldering of the external speaker cable. 5. Transmissions are always on low power, even when high (Hi) power is selected. The antenna may be faulty. Test the transceiver with a different antenna. Have the antenna checked out. 96 |

Appendices | RS90 Operating Manual Draft v5.0 27 Feb 2014 6. Battery symbol is displayed. The power supply is too low. Check the battery voltage. This should be at least 10.5 V 0.5 V DC.

Appendices | RS90 Operating Manual Draft v5.0 27 Feb 2014- DSC information Appendix 8 Class D equipment, which is specifically designed for recreational vessels, provides VHF DSC distress, urgency and safety as well as routine calling and position polling. Class D equipment includes a dedicated channel 70 DSC receiver, so you will never miss a DSC call. Position polling refers to requesting the position of another vessel at regular intervals.

- AIS information Appendix 9 There are several types of AIS device as follows:

Class A transceivers Class A transceivers are similar to class B transceivers, but they are designed to be fitted on large vessels such as cargo ships and large passenger vessels. Class A transceivers transmit at a higher VHF signal power than class B transceivers and therefore can be received by more distant vessels, and also transmit more frequently. Class A transceivers are mandatory on all vessels over 300 gross tonnes on international voyages and certain types of passenger vessels under the international Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations. Class B transceivers Similar to class A transceivers in many ways, but are normally lower cost due to the less stringent performance requirements. Class B transceivers transmit at a lower power and at a lower reporting rate than class A transceivers. AIS transceivers AIS transceivers are used by Vessel Traffic Systems to monitor and control the transmissions of AIS transceivers. Aids to Navigation (AtoN) transceivers. AtoN transceivers are mounted on buoys or other hazards to shipping in order to transmit details of their location to the surrounding vessels. The RS90 VHF radio includes an AIS receiver-only function. Appendices | RS90 Operating Manual

| 105 Draft v5.0 27 Feb 2014 AIS Static and dynamic information Defined transmit rates for Class A vessels shown below are provided for reference purposes only. The frequency of messages received vary due to a number of factors including but not limited to such factors as antenna height, gain and signal interference. Static information is either broadcast every 6 minutes, when data has been amended, or upon request. Dynamic information is broadcast depending on speed and course alteration based on the following tables:
