Read this information before using the radio. RBRC Information As part of our commitment to protect the environment and conserve natural resources, Uniden voluntarily participates in an RBRC industry program to collect and recycle used Ni-MH batteries within the US. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Ni-MH battery recycling in your area. (RBRC is a registered trademark of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.) MARITIME RADIO SERVICES OPERATION Warning! This transmitter will operate on channels/frequencies that have restricted use in the United States. The channel assignments include frequencies assigned for exclusive use of the U.S. Coast Guard, use in Canada, and use in international waters. Operation on these frequencies without proper authorization is strictly forbidden. See page 25 for tables of the available channels and their uses. If you are still not certain which channels to use, see the FCC maritime radio page at the FCC website

(http://wireless.fcc.gov/marine/) or contact the FCC Call Center at 1-888-CALL-FCC. For individuals requiring a license, such as commercial users, you should obtain a license application from your nearest FCC field office (for US users) or Industry Canada (for Canadian users). E-31 Uniden Atlantis 150 Owners Manual BASIC RADIO GUIDELINES You should familiarize yourself with the rules on marine radios and be aware of which rules apply to your boat. Complete guidelines for all ship and marine radio types can be found at the US Coast Guard website under the topic Radio Info for Boaters (the direct link is:

http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/marcomms/boater.htm). Here are a few guidelines that affect nearly all boaters:

x If you have a VHF radio on your boat, you must maintain a watch on channel 16 (156.800 MHz) whenever the radio is not being used to communicate. Starting in 2004, if a radio is carried, it must be on and set to channel 16 whenever your boat is underway. If you hear a distress call, wait a few minutes to let a shore station or Coast Guard vessel respond. If no other station has responded after 5 minutes, you must respond to the distress call. x x Do not make false mayday or distress calls as a prank or to test your radio. (This is essentially like making a false 9-1-1 call; you may be subject to fines.) FCC/IC Information x Certification: FCC Part 15 or I.C.
