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 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 25W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles, for a portable 5W 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 waterway. 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 ?? section 11. 4. GETTING STARTED If the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by connecting the CD-38 Charger Cradle with the NC-88 battery charger, as shown in the illustration.

The total transmission should not exceed 1 minute. 9. End the message by saying OVER Release the microphone button and listen. 10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no response, try another channel. 6.11 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 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 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, 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. After a transmission, say over, and release the microphones push-to-talk (PTT) 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 beginning and end of the contact. Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some radios automatically 16 Vertex Standard Co.,Ltd. FCC ID:K6630313X30 IC ID:511B-30313X30 Operating Manual monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or when scanning. 6.12 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, High power is allowed. Pressing the [H/L(KEY)] key will change the power output from Low Power (1 Watt) to Medium (2.5 Watts), High (5 Watts), or Normal (6 Watts) power will be selected. When you select to this channel again, the transceiver will revert to Low power. 6.13 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 band) by pressing the [H/L(KEY)] key. When you select to this channel again, the transceiver will revert to low power. 6.14 ENABLING S.O.S STROBE OPERATION The S.O.S. STROBE feature utilizes the high-intensity strobe LED on the front of the HX850S as a visual distress beacon. When enabled, the LED blinks the internationally-recognized Morse Code S.O.S. message (...---...) at a rate of 5 words per minute. This can be very useful in summoning help from rescuers who may not be able to communicate with you via radio. 1. Hold down the [MEM] key while turning the radio on to activate the emergency S.O.S. Strobe. Once the radio comes on, the BUSY/TX LED will flash the Morse Code S.O.S. message repeatedly. 2. The S.O.S. strobe function is interrupted when a signal is received or if the squelch control is turned so audio is heard from the speaker and during transmission. 3. To disable the S.O.S. strobe function, turn the radio off and back on again. 7. DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING 7.1 GENERAL This radio is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and safety call to facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety device, this equipment must be used only within communication range of a shore-based VHF marine channel 70 distress and safety watch system. The range of signal may vary but under normal conditions should be approximately 20 nautical miles. WARNING Digital Selective Calling 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 17 Vertex Standard Co.,Ltd. FCC ID:K6630313X30 IC ID:511B-30313X30 Operating Manual 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 new system allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS position (when connected to the transceiver) to the US Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiate or receive Distress, Urgency, Safety, Routine, POSITION REQUEST, POSITION SEND, and Group calls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSC transceiver. 7.2 MARITIME MOBILE SERVICE IDENTITY (MMSI) 7.2.1 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 THE HX850S DSC FUCTIONS. How can I obtain an MMSI assignment?

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 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, using the USA/CAN/INTL 41 Vertex Standard Co.,Ltd. FCC ID:K6630313X30 IC ID:511B-30313X30 Operating Manual channel selection procedure described on page ?? of this manual. Channel 22 (without an A is an International duplex channel for port operations. The HX750S displays an A adjacent to the channel number on all Alpha channels, unlike some other models that may not indicate the A even though they may be set to the correct frequency. 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 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 transmission. 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 term non-commercial in the Channel Use column of the chart.
