ter. When the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pushed, the transceiver sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-

held wireless devices. This device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50% (this corresponds to 50% transmission time and 50% reception time). WARNING: To maintain compliance with the FCCs RF exposure guidelines, this transmitter and its antenna must maintain a separation distance of at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your face. Speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away from the face at the required separation distance. Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or at-

tachments could damage the transmitter, and may violate FCC regulations.

MEMO HX100/HX150 Page 7 HX100 FCC ID: K6630553X20/ IC: 511B-30553X20 HX150 FCC ID: K6630563X20/ IC: 511B-30563X20YAESU MUSEN CO., LTD. 3. ABOUT THIS RADIO 3.1 ABOUT THE VHF MARINE BAND The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with NOAA Weather stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essen-

tially Line of sight Actual transmission range depends much more on an-

tenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter. On a fixed mount 25 W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles, for a portable 5 W radio transmission the expected distance can be greater than 5 miles in Line of sight. The user of a Marine VHF radio is subject to severe fines if the radio is used on land. The reasoning for this is you may be near an inland waterway, or propagation anomalies may cause your transmission to be heard in a water-

way. If this occurs, depending upon the marine VHF channel on which you are transmitting, you could interfere with a search and rescue case, or con-

tribute to a collision between passing ships. For VHF Marine channel assign-

ments refer to section 9 VHF MARINE CHANNEL CHART ASSIGNMENT. WARNING This radio is capable of transmitting on Marine VHF. The FCC allows the use of VHF Marine band on water areas only. How-

ever the FCC does not allow the use of the VHF Marine band when on land. If persons use the VHF Marine Band on land and interfere with others communicating, the FCC will be notified and search for the interference. Responsible parties found to be transmitting on the VHF Marine Band on land could be fined up to $10,000 for the first offense. 3.2 ABOUT WATER RESISTANCE The HX100/HX150 is only submersible when the Battery Cover is latched. IPX8 Specification for submersibility: 5 ft. (1.5 m) for 30 minutes. 3.3 DISTRESS AND HAILING (CHANNEL 16) Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency may be defined as a threat to life or property. In such instances, be sure the trans-

ceiver is on and set to Channel 16. Then use the following procedure:

1. Press the PTT (Push-To-Talk) switch and say Mayday, Mayday, May-

day. This is _____, _____, _____ (your vessels name). 2. Then repeat once: Mayday, _____ (your vessels name). 3. Now report your position in latitude/longitude, or by giving a true or mag-

Page 8 HX100/HX150 HX100 FCC ID: K6630553X20/ IC: 511B-30553X20 HX150 FCC ID: K6630563X20/ IC: 511B-30563X20YAESU MUSEN CO., LTD. netic bearing (state which) to a well-known landmark such as a naviga-

tion aid or geographic feature such as an island or harbor entry. 4. Explain the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, fire, heart attack, life-threatening injury, etc.). 5. State the kind of assistance your desire (pumps, medical aid, etc.). 6. Report the number of persons aboard and condition of any injured. 7. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel. 8. Give your vessels description: length, design (power or sail), color and other distinguishing marks. The total transmission should not exceed 1 minute. 9. End the message by saying OVER. Release the PTT switch and listen. 10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no re-

sponse, try another channel. 3.4 CALLING ANOTHER VESSEL (CHANNEL 16 OR 9) Channel 16 may be used for initial contact (hailing) with another vessel. However, its most important use is for emergency messages. This channel must be monitored at all times except when actually using another channel. It is monitored by the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards and by other ves-

sels. Use of channel 16 for hailing must be limited to initial contact only. Call-

ing should not exceed 30 seconds, but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals. In areas of heavy radio traffic, congestion on channel 16 resulting from its use as a hailing channel can be reduced significantly in U.S. waters by using Channel 9 as the initial contact (hailing) channel for non-emergency communications. Here, also, calling time should not exceed 30 seconds but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals. Prior to making contact with another vessel, refer to the channel charts in this manual, and select an appropriate channel for communications after initial contact. For example, Channels 68 and 69 of the U.S. VHF Charts are some of the channels available to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. Monitor your desired channel in advance to make sure you will not be interrupting other traffic, and then go back to either channel 16 or 9 for your initial contact. When the hailing channel (16 or 9) is clear, state the name of the other ves-

sel you wish to call and then this is followed by the name of your vessel and your Station License (Call Sign). When the other vessel returns your call, immediately request another channel by saying go to, the number of the other channel, and over. Then switch to the new channel. When the new channel is not busy, call the other vessel. HX100/HX150 Page 9 HX100 FCC ID: K6630553X20/ IC: 511B-30553X20 HX150 FCC ID: K6630563X20/ IC: 511B-30563X20YAESU MUSEN CO., LTD. After a transmission, say over, and release the PTT (Push-To-Talk) switch. When all communication with the other vessel is completed, end the last transmission by stating your Call Sign and the word out. Note that it is not necessary to state your Call Sign with each transmission, only at the begin-

ning and end of the contact. Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some radios automatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or when scanning. 3.5 OPERATING ON CHANNEL 13 Channel 13 is used at docks, bridges and for maneuvering in port. Messages on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing in restricted waters. In emergencies and when approaching blind river bends, key will change the power output High power is allowed. Pressing the from Low Power (1 Watt) to High (5 Watts: HX150, 2.5 Watts: HX100). When you change from this channel then return to it, low power will be automati-

cally selected. 3.6 OPERATING ON CHANNEL 67 When channel 67 is used for navigational bridge-to-bridge traffic between ships, Normal, High or Medium power may be used temporarily (in the USA key. When you select this channel again, the band) by pressing the transceiver will revert to low power. 3.7 SIMPLEX/DUPLEX CHANNEL USE Refer to the section 9 VHF MARINE CHANNEL CHART ASSIGNMENT for instructions on use of simplex and duplex channels. NOTE All channels are factory-programmed in accordance with FCC (USA), Industry Canada and International regulations. The mode of opera-

tion cannot be altered from simplex to duplex or vice-versa. Simplex

(ship to ship) or duplex (marine operator) mode is automatically acti-

vated, depending on the channel and whether the USA, International or Canadian operating band is selected.

NOTE 6.7.2 NOAA WEATHER ALERT TESTING In the event of a major storm or other appreciable weather condition requiring vessels at sea (or other bodies of water) to be notified, the NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) broadcasts a 1050 Hz tone that some VHF radios, including your transceiver, can detect for Weather Alarm purposes (refer to section 6.7.1 NOAA WEATHER ALERT for a discussion of how to use this feature). The 1050 Hz tone, when detected, will produce a loud beep in the speaker of the transceiver, to signal that a Weather Alert Broadcast is being received. In order to test this system, NOAA broadcasts the 1050 Hz tone every Wednesday sometime between 11 AM and 1 PM local time. You may use this opportunity to test your transceiver periodically to confirm that the Weather HX100/HX150 Page 25 HX100 FCC ID: K6630553X20/ IC: 511B-30553X20 HX150 FCC ID: K6630563X20/ IC: 511B-30563X20YAESU MUSEN CO., LTD.

MAINTENANCE 8.1 GENERAL The inherent quality of the solid-state components in STANDARD HORIZON radios will provide many years of continuous use. Take the following precau-

tions to prevent damage to the radio. To prevent corrosion of electrical contacts and keep the water resistance, keep the battery cover latched and the charge cover closed while boat-

ing. Never press the PTT switch unless an antenna or suitable dummy load is connected to the antenna receptacle. Use only STANDARD HORIZON-approved accessories and replacement parts. 8.2 REPLACEMENT PARTS Occasionally an owner needs a replacement part.

VHF MARINE CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS Tables on the following columns list the VHF Marine Channel assignments for USA. and International use. Below are listed some data about the charts. 1. VTS. Where indicated, these channels are part of the U.S. Coast Guards Vessel Traffic System. 2. Alpha channel numbers, that is, channel numbers followed by the letter A

(such as Channel 07A) are simplex channels on the USA. or Canadian channel assignments whose counterparts in the International assign-

ments are duplex channels. International channels do not use alpha numbers. If you call the Coast Guard on Channel 16, they will sometimes ask you to go to channel 22 Alpha. This is a channel assigned to USA, and Canadian Coast Guards for handling distress and other calls. If your radio is set for International operation you will go to Channel 22 instead of 22A, and will not be able to communicate with the Coast Guard. To use Channel 22A, your radio must be set for USA or Canada operation, usually by a U/I/C (USA/International/Canada) control or combination of controls. Channel 22 (without an A) is an International duplex channel for port operations. Some radios indicate an A adjacent to the alpha channels on the display; on others alpha is not indicated but the proper channel is selected based on the U/I/C setting. 3. Bridge-to-Bridge channels (for example, Channel 13) are for use by bridge operators on inter-coastal waterways and rivers. It is also used by marine vessels in the vicinity of these bridges for navigation and for com-

municating with the bridge operators. Note that a limit of 1 Watt is speci-

fied for these channels. 4. The S/D column on the chart indicates either S (simplex) or D (duplex). Simplex means transmitting and receiving on the same frequency. Only one party at a time can talk, unlike a telephone. Be sure to say over and release your microphone push-to-talk switch at the end of each transmission. Duplex operation involves the use of one frequency for transmitting and a separate frequency for receiving. On channels speci-

fied as duplex on the charts, correct mode of operation is established au-

tomatically by your radio when you select a channel; you cannot change the mode. And you still must release the push-to-talk switch after each transmission in order to listen to the radio. 5. Channels normally used by recreational boaters are those that include the term non-commercial in the Channel Use column of the chart. Some of these are shared with other users and some are used only in certain geographic regions.

Marine vessels equipped with VHF radios are required to monitor Chan-

nel 16. 7. 156.050 MHz and 156.175 MHz are available for port operations and commercial communications purposes when used only within the U.S. Coast Guard designated Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) area of New Or-

leans, on the lower Mississippi River from the various pass entrances in the Gulf of Mexico to Devils Swamp Light at River Mile 242.4 above head of passes near Baton Rouge. 8. 156.250 MHz is available for port operations communications use only within the U.S. Coast Guard designated VTS radio protection areas of New Orleans and Houston described in Sec. 80.383. 156.250 MHz is available for intership port operations communications used only within the area of Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors, within a 25- nautical mile radius of Point Fermin, California. 9. 156.550 MHz, 156.600 MHz and 156.700 MHz are available in the U.S. Coast Guard designated port areas only for VTS communications and in the Great Lakes available primarily for communications relating to the movement of ships in sectors designated by the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation or the U.S. Coast Guard. The use of these fre-
