ABOUT THIS RADIO 3.1 ABOUT THE VHF MARINE BAND The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 162 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially Line of sight Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna 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 contribute to a collision between passing ships. For VHF Marine channel assignments refer to page 32 section 9. 3.2 ABOUT THE LMR CHANNELS The HX380 is capable of being programmed with 40 LMR (Land Mobile Ra-

dio) channels by a dealer. The frequency range is 134 to 174MHz which may be setup for 25 kHz (wide) or 12.5 kHz (narrow) channel stepping with CTCSS and DCS signaling. Contact your dealer for further details. 3.3 ABOUT WATER RESISTANCE Water resistance of the transceiver is ensured only when the battery pack is attached to the transceiver and MIC/SP cap is installed in the MIC/SP jack. 3.4 EMERGENCY (CHANNEL 16 USE) 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 transceiv-

er 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 magnet-

ic 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. Page 8 HX380Application for FCC/IC FCC ID: K6630393X20 IC: 511B-30393X20 7. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel. 8. Give your vessels description: length, design (power or sail), color and oth-

er distinguishing marks. The total transmission should not exceed 1 minute.

) switch and lis-

9. End the message by saying OVER. Release the PTT (

ten. 10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no re-

sponse, try another channel. 3.5 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. Calling should not exceed 30 seconds, but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute in-

tervals. 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. Also hailing on channel 9, the 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 con-

tact. 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 de-

sired 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 vessel 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, im-

mediately 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. 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 be-

ginning and end of the contact. Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Page 9 HX380Application for FCC/IC FCC ID: K6630393X20 IC: 511B-30393X20 3.6 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). When you change from this chan-

nel then return to it, low power will be automatically selected. 3.7 OPERATING ON CHANNEL 67 When channel 67 is used for navigational bridge-to-bridge traffic between ships, High power may be used temporarily (in the USA band) by pressing the key. When release the PTT switch, the transceiver will revert to low pow-

er. 3.8 SIMPLEX/DUPLEX CHANNEL USE Refer to the VHF MARINE CHANNEL CHART (page 32) for instructions on use of simplex and duplex channels. NOTE All channels are factory-programmed in accordance with FCC, Industry Canada, and International regulations. The mode of operation cannot be altered from simplex to duplex or vice-versa. Simplex (ship to ship) or du-

plex (marine operator) mode is automatically activated, depending on the channel and whether the USA, Canadian or International operating band is selected. Page 10 HX380Application for FCC/IC FCC ID: K6630393X20 IC: 511B-30393X20 MEMO Page 11 HX380Application for FCC/IC FCC ID: K6630393X20 IC: 511B-30393X20 4. GETTING STARTED 4.1 RADIO CARE CAUTION Before following the instructions below, insure the battery pack is in place and firmly connected. Care must be taken if the radio was dropped and a close inspection may be needed to insure the radio case and gaskets are in adequate condition. The design of the HX380 allows water to enter between the radio and the bat-

tery pack, however waterproof performance is not compromised. After using the HX380 in salt water environment is recommended to clean the radio with fresh water by rinsing the battery and radio (separately) under a sink facet or by dunking in a fresh water. After washing,use a soft cloth to thor-

oughly dry all parts of the radio and battery. This will keep the radio parts and the battery clean and in top operating condi-

tion. 4.2 BELT CLIP INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL To install the Belt Clip: align the Belt Clip to the groove of the Bat-

tery pack, then press the Belt Clip downward until it locks in place with a Click. To remove the Belt Clip: press the Belt Clip Tab away from the bat-

tery pack to unlock the Belt Clip, then slide the Belt Clip upward to remove it.

If 12V DC power is available, the sup-

plied E-DC-19A DC Cable with 12 V Cigarette Lighter Plug may be used for charging the battery. The SAD-11B and E-DC-19A will charge a completely discharged FNB-V105LI battery pack in approximately 3 hours. The FNB-V105LI is a high performance Li-Ion battery providing high capacity in a compact package. To avoid risk of explosion and injury, FNB-V105LI battery pack should only be removed, charged or recharged in non-hazardous environments. CAUTION 4.3.1 BATTERY SAFETY Battery packs for your transceiver contain Li-Ion batteries. This type of bat-

tery 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 bat-

tery cell damage. If the short is of sufficient duration, it is possible to melt bat-

tery components. Do not place a loose battery pack on or near metal surfaces or objects such as paper clips, keys, tools, etc. When the battery pack is in-

stalled 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 consti-

tute 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 and dry. Page 13 HX380Application for FCC/IC FCC ID: K6630393X20 IC: 511B-30393X20 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 YOUR REGULAR TRASH!

LI-ION BATTERIES MUST BE COLLECTED, RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND MANNER. The incineration, land filling or mixing of Li-Ion batteries with the municipal sol-

id waste stream is PROHIBITED BY LAW in most areas. Return batteries to an approved Li-Ion battery recycler. This may be where you purchased the battery. Contact your local waste management officials for other information regarding the environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of Li-Ion batter-

ies. 4.3.2 BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL To install the battery pack, hold the trans-

To exit from the weather channel mode, press and hold the key. The transceiver will revert to the channel you were using prior to switching to the weather channel mode. 6.5.1 NOAA WEATHER ALERT In the event of extreme weather disturbances such as storms and hurricanes, NOAA sends a weather alert consisting of a 1050 Hz tone, followed by weather reports on the weather channels. When a weather alert is received on a weather channel, the transceiver emits a beep tone. Press the key to stop the beep tone and listen to the weather reports. 6.5.2 NOAA WEATHER ALERT TESTING 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 HX380 periodically to confirm that the Weather Alert feature is working, or for training crew members on how to configure the HX380 to receive the NOAA Weather Alerts.

VHF MARINE CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS Tables on the following pages list the VHF Marine Channel assignments for U.S.A. 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 U.S.A. or Canadian channel assignments whose counterparts in the International assignments 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 U.S.A, and Ca-

nadian 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 op-

erators on inter-coastal waterways and rivers. It is also used by marine vessels in the vicinity of these bridges for navigation and for communicating with the bridge operators. Note that a limit of 1 Watt is specified 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 transmis-

sion. Duplex operation involves the use of one frequency for transmitting and a separate frequency for receiving. On channels specified as duplex on the charts, correct mode of operation is established automatically 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 geo-

graphic regions. 6. Marine vessels equipped with VHF radios are required to monitor Channel 16.

INSTALLATION OF OPTION 11.1 FBA-40 ALKALINE BATTERY TRAY FBA-40 is a battery tray that holds six AA size Alkaline batteries and is used with the HX380 transceiver. When the FBA-40 is installed into the HX380 the radio can withstand immersion in water up to 1.5 m (about 5Ft) for 30 minutes. 1. On the FBA-40, remove the battery case cover. Due to the battery case water proof characteristics, it may be difficult to remove the battery tray case, put a coin to the edge of the battery compartment (

) then pry open the battery case cover. 2. Slide the six AA size Alkaline batteries into the FBA-40 Battery Case with the Negative () side of the batteries touching the spring connections inside the FBA-40 Battery Case. 3. Attach the battery cover to the FBA-40 Battery Case while being careful so that o-ring is not twisted. 4. Insert the FBA-40 Battery Case into the battery compartment on the back of the HX380 transceiver while tilting the Belt Clip outward, then push the bottom side of the FBA-40 Battery Case until the Battery Case locks with the Battery Pack Latch.
