RF EXPOSURE SAFETY STATEMENT 24.1 SAFETY INFORMATION Your wireless handheld portable transceiver contains a low power transmit-

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. If you use a headset accessory for this radio, with the radio worn on your body, use only the Yaesu belt clip for this transceiver, and ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the transmitter, and may violate FCC regulations. 24.2 CONSIGNES DE SECURITE Votre metteur-rcepteur portatif sans fil contient un metteur faible puissance. Lorsque vous appuyez sur le bouton Push-to-Talk (PTT), lmetteur-rcepteur met des signaux de radiofrquence (RF). En aot 1996, la FCC (Commission Fdrale des Communications) a adopt des directives relatives lexposition aux RF avec des niveaux de scurit pour les appareils sans fils portatifs. Le fonctionnement de cet appareil est autoris un facteur dutilisation ne dpassant pas 50 % (correspondant 50% de la dure de transmission et 50% de la dure de rception). AVERTISSEMENT: Pour assurer la conformit avec les directives dexposition RF de la FCC, cet metteur-rcepteur et son antenne doivent tre maintenus une distance minimum dun pouce (2,5 centimtre) de votre visage. Parlez avec une voix normale, avec lantenne dirige vers le haut et loigne du visage, la distance requise. Si vous utilisez un casque pour cette radio, et que vous portez la radio sur vous, utilisez exclusivement le clip de ceinture Yaesu pour cet metteur-rcepteur, et assurez-vous que lantenne se trouve une distance minimum dun pouce

(2,5 centimtres) de votre corps pendant lmission. Utilisez exclusivement lantenne fournie. Les antennes, les modifications ou les accessoires non autoriss peuvent endommager lmetteur-rcepteur et enfreindre les rglementations FCC. 113 25.

ABOUT THIS RADIO 6.1 PROHIBITED COMMUNICATIONS (in USA or Canada only) The FCC prohibits the following communications:

False distress or emergency messages:

Messages to any boat except in emergencies and radio tests;

Messages to or from a vessel on land;

Transmission while on land;

Obscene, indecent, or profane language (potential fine of $10,000). 6.2 ABOUT VHF RADIO The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with some shore stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially line of sight (VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as buildings, hills or trees). Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter. On a fixed mount 25W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles (25 km), for a portable 6W (5W)* radio transmission the expected distance can be greater than 5 miles (8 km) in line of sight. The user of a Marine VHF radio is subject to severe fine 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 contribute to a collision between passing ships. For VHF Marine channel assignments refer to page 122 section 18.

*(5W TX required in some countries) 6.3 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 transceiver is on and set to CHANNEL 16. Then use the following procedure:

1. Press the PTT (Push-To-Talk) button and say Mayday, Mayday, Mayday. 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 magnetic bearing (state which) to a well-known landmark such as a navigation 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. 10 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 button and listen. 10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no response, try another channel. NOTE The HX890 has the DSC Distress Alert, that can transmit a Distress Alert digitally to all ships with compatible DSC radios. Refer to section 11. DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (DSC). 6.4 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 vessels. 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, press the PTT button and state the name of the other vessel you wish to call and then this is followed by the name of your vessel and your Station License (Call Sign) then release the PTT button. When the other vessel returns your call, immediately request another channel by pressing the PTT button and saying go to, the number of the other channel, say over and release the PTT button. Then switch to the new channel. When the new channel is not busy, call the other vessel. After a transmission, say over, and release the PTT button. When all commu-

nication 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 beginning and end of the contact. Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some 11 radios automatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or when scanning. 6.5 MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS To make a radiotelephone call, use a channel designated for this purpose. The fastest way to learn which channels are used for radiotelephone traffic is to ask at a local marina. Channels available for such traffic are designated Public Correspondence channels on the channel charts in this manual. Some examples for USA use are Channels 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 84, 85, 86, and 87. Call the marine operator and identify yourself by your vessels name. The marine operator will then ask you how you will pay for the call (telephone credit card, collect, etc.) and then link your radio transmission to the telephone lines. The marine telephone company managing the VHF channel you are using may charge a link-up fee in addition to the cost of the call. 6.6 BRIDGE CHANNELS 13 AND 67 Channel 13 is used at docks, bridges and by vessels maneuvering in port. Messages on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing in restricted waters. Channel 67 is used for navigational traffic between vessels. By regulation, power is normally limited to 1 Watt on these channels. Your radio is programmed to automatically reduce power to this limit on these channels. However, in certain situations it may be necessary to temporarily use a higher power. See Page 27 for means to temporarily override the low-power limit on these two channels. 6.7 AUTOMATED RADIO CHECK SERVICE (in the USA only) In areas across the United States, Sea Tow offers boaters a way to conduct radio checks. To use Sea Tows free Automated Radio Check service, simply tune your VHF radio to the appropriate channel for your location and conduct a radio check as you typically would. Upon releasing your radios microphone, the system will play an automated message and relay your transmission back to you, thereby letting you know how your signal will sound to other boaters. The Automated Radio Check Service is currently available in the areas listed below. West Coast Northeast Sea Tow Newport/LA - Ch. 27 Sea Tow San Diego - Ch. 27 Sea Tow Portland-Midcoast (Maine) - Ch. 27 Sea Tow Boston - Ch. 27 Sea Tow South Shore (Mass.) - Ch. 28 Sea Tow Rhode Island - Ch. 24 Sea Tow Eastern Long Island - Ch. 27 12 Sea Tow Huntington (N.Y.) - Ch. 27 Sea Tow Manasquan (N.J.) - Ch. 28 Mid-Atlantic Sea Tow Northern Chesapeake (Md.) - Ch. 28 Sea Tow Central Chesapeake (Md.) - Ch. 27 Sea Tow Hampton Roads (Va.) - Ch. 28 North Carolina Sea Tow Wrightsville Beach - Ch. 28 Sea Tow Ocean Isle Beach - Ch. 28 Florida Sea Tow Sebastian - Ch. 28 Sea Tow Fort Lauderdale - Ch. 27 Sea Tow Charlotte Harbor - Ch. 24 Sea Tow Tampa Bay - Ch. 27 Sea Tow Horseshoe Beach - Ch. 27 Sea Tow Carrabelle/St. Marks - Ch. 27 Sea Tow Pensacola/Orange Beach (Ala.) - Ch. 27 13 6.8 NOTES TO ASSURE WATERPROOF INTEGRITY CAUTION!

If 12V DC power is available, the E-DC-19A DC Cable with 12 V Cigarette Lighter Plug or the optional E-DC-6 DC Cable may be used for charging the battery. The SAD-25, E-DC-19A and E-DC-6 will charge a completely discharged SBR-13LI battery pack in about 3 hours. The SBR-13LI is a high-performance Li-ion battery providing high capacity in a compact package. SBR-13LI Rechargeable Battery Pack Capacity Nominal Voltage Temperature Range Charge Discharge Storage 1800 mAh 7.4 V Minimum C F 41 5 4 20 10 14 CAUTION Maximum C F 95 35 140 60 35 95 To avoid risk of explosion and injury, SBR-13LI battery pack should only be removed, charged or recharged in non-hazardous environments. 7.1.1 Battery Safety Battery packs for your transceiver contain Li-ion batteries. This type of battery stores a charge powerful enough to be dangerous if misused or abused, especially when removed from the transceiver. Please observe the following precautions:

DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS: Shorting the terminals that power the transceiver can cause sparks, severe overheating, burns, and battery cell damage. If the short is of sufficient duration, it is possible to melt battery components. Do not place a loose battery pack on or near metal surfaces or 15 objects such as paper clips, keys, tools, etc. When the battery pack is installed on the transceiver, the terminals that transfer current to the transceiver are not exposed. The terminals that are exposed on the battery pack when it is mounted on the transceiver are charging terminals only and do not constitute a hazard. DO NOT INCINERATE: Do not dispose of any battery in a fire or incinerator. The heat of fire may cause battery cells to explode and/or release dangerous gases. Battery Maintenance For safe and proper battery use, please observe the following:

Battery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environments. Use only STANDARD HORIZON-approved batteries. Use only a STANDARD HORIZON-approved charger. The use of any other charger may cause permanent damage to the battery. Follow charging instructions provided with the chargers. Keep the battery contacts clean. Battery Storage Store the batteries in a cool place to maximize storage life. Since batteries are subject to self-discharge, avoid high storage temperatures that cause large self-discharge rates. After extended storage, a full recharge is recommended. Battery Recycling DO NOT PLACE USED BATTERIES IN THE REGULAR TRASH!

LI-ION BATTERIES MUST BE COLLECTED, RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE MANNER. The incineration, landfill disposal, or mixing of Li-ion batter-

ies with the municipal solid waste stream is PROHIBITED BY LAW in most areas. Return batteries to an approved Li-ion battery recycler. This may be available where the battery was purchased. Contact your local waste management officials for other information regarding the environmentally safe collection, recycling and disposal of Li-ion batteries. 16 7.1.2 Rechargeable Battery Installation/Removal 1. 2. Turn the transceiver OFF. Slide the battery cover lock switch to the UNLOCK position, then press PUSH to open the battery cover. 3. 4.

DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (DSC) 11.1 GENERAL WARNING This HX890 is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and safety call to facilitate search and rescue. This unit will only be effective as a safety device, when it is used within communication range of a shore-based VHF marine channel 70 distress and safety watch system

(or another vessel equipped with a compatible DCS transceiver). The range of signal may vary but under normal conditions should be approximately 5 nautical miles. Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is a semi-automated method of establishing a radio call, it has been designated by the International Maritime Organization

(IMO) as an international standard for establishing VHF, MF and HF radio calls. It has also been designated as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). It is planned that DSC will eventually replace aural watches on distress frequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety information broadcasts. This system allows mariners to instantly send a Distress Alert with GPS posi-

tion (when connected to the transceiver) to the Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiate or receive Distress, Urgency, Safety, Routine, and Position Report, Automatic Position Polling, and Group calls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSC transceiver. 11.2 MARITIME MOBILE SERVICE IDENTITY (MMSI) 11.2.1 What is an MMSI?

An MMSI is a nine-digit number used on marine transceivers capable of using Digital Selective Calling (DSC). This number is used like a telephone number to selectively call other vessels. THIS NUMBER MUST BE PROGRAMMED INTO THE RADIO TO OPERATE DSC FUNCTIONS. How can I obtain an MMSI assignment?

Distress Alert transmissions from the HX890 will include the latitude and longitude of the vessel when the internal GPS unit is activated. 11.3.1 Transmitting a DSC Distress Alert NOTE To be able to transmit a DSC Distress Alert an MMSI number must be programmed, refer to section 11.2.2 Programming the MMSI. Basic Operation 1. Lift the red spring-loaded DISTRESS cover on the right side of the transceiver. Press, then press and hold the DISTRESS key for 3 seconds. The radio display will count down (3-2-1) and then transmit the Distress Alert. The backlight of the display and keypad flashes while the radios display is counting down. 2. When the distress signal is sent, the transceiver listens on 3. CH70 until an acknowledgment signal is received. If no acknowledgment is received, the Distress Alert is repeated in 4-minute intervals until the Distress Alert Acknowledgment is received. 4. When the Distress Alert Acknowledgment is received, a distress alarm sounds and Channel 16 is automatically selected. The display shows the MMSI of the ship respond-

ing to your distress. 5. Press the PTT button and state your name, vessel name, number of persons on board and the distress situation, then say over and wait for a reply from the acknowledging ship.

(e.g. members of a yacht club) using DSC radios and signal all the group to automatically switch to the designated channel for voice communications. This function is very useful for yacht clubs and vessels traveling together to collectively make announcements on a predetermined channel. Up to 20 group MMSI numbers may be programmed. 11.6.1 Setting up a Group Call For this function to operate, the same group MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity Number) must be programmed into all the DSC VHF radios within the group of vessels that will be using this feature. To understand Group MMSI programming, first a ship MMSI has to be understood. Ship MMSI: This number is assigned by the FCC, or other organization licensed to assign ship MMSI numbers. The first three digits called MID (Mobile Identity Group) of a vessels MMSI denote the country where the MMSI is registered. The last 6 digits are specific to the ships ID. Ship MMSI Example: If the MMSI is 366123456, 366 is the MID which denotes the country and 123456 is the ships MMSI. Group MMSI:

Group MMSI numbers are not assigned by the FCC or other organizations licensed to assign ship MMSI numbers. The first digit of a group MMSI is always set to 0 by International rules. All Standard Horizon radios are preset so when programming a group MMSI the first digit is set to 0. The USCG recommends programming the MID of a ship MMSI into the Second, Third and Fourth digits of the group MMSI as it denotes the area the ship is located in. The last 5 digits are decided upon by the members of the group. All radios 52

in the group must contain the same group MMSI so they can be contacted by each other. There is a chance that another group of vessels may program in the same group MMSI. If this happens, simply change one or more of the last 5 digits of the group MMSI. Press and hold key DSC SETUP
