NOTEA WARNING STICKER is supplied with the transceiver. To comply with FCC regulations, this sticker must be affixed insuch a location as to be readily seen from the operating con-trols of the radio as in the diagram below. Make sure the cho-sen location is clean and dry before applying the sticker.EXAMPLE USING DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (Ch 70) DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE1. While lifting up the key cover, push and hold [DISTRESS] for 5 sec. until you hear 5 short beeps change to one long beep. 2. Wait for an acknowledgment on Channel 70 from a coast station. • After the acknowledgement is received, Channel 16 is auto- matically selected. 3. Push and hold [PTT] , then transmit the appropriate information as listed above. USING CHANNEL 16DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE1. “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY.”2. “THIS IS ...............” (name of vessel).3. Say your call sign or other indication of the vessel (AND 9-digit DSC ID if you have one). 4. “LOCATED AT ...............” (your position).5. State the nature of the distress and assistance required.6. Give any other information which might facilitate the rescue. New2001 !IC-M504.qxd 05.12.28 11:29 AM Page ii (1,1) iii New2001 RADIO OPERATOR WARNING Icom requires the radio operator to meet the FCC Requirements for Radio Frequency Expo-sure. An omnidirectional antenna with gain notgreater than 9 dBi must be mounted a minimumof 5 meters (measured from the lowest point ofthe antenna) vertically above the main deck and all possible personnel. This is the minimum safe separationdistance estimated to meet all RF exposure compliance re-quirements. This 5 meter distance is based on the FCC SafeMaximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) distance of 3 metersadded to the height of an adult (2 meters) and is appropriatefor all vessels.For watercraft without suitable structures, the antenna mustbe mounted so as to maintain a minimum of 1 meter verticallybetween the antenna, (measured from the lowest point of theantenna), to the heads of all persons AND all persons muststay outside of the 3 meter MPE radius.Do not transmit with radio and antenna when persons arewithin the MPE radius of the antenna, unless such persons(such as driver or radio operator) are shielded from antennafield by a grounded metallic barrier. The MPE Radius is theminimum distance from the antenna axis that person shouldmaintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the allow-able MPE level set by FCC. WARNING FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOWTHOSE WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RFRADIATION ABSORPTION WHICH EXCEEDS THE FCCMAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT.IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RADIO OPERATORTO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPO-SURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURINGRADIO TRANSMISSION. THE RADIO OPERATOR IS TOENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS COME WITHIN THERADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURELIMITS.Determining MPE RadiusTHE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) RA-DIUS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE A RADIUS OFABOUT 3M PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE FCC.THIS ESTIMATE IS MADE ASSUMING THE MAXIMUMPOWER OF THE RADIO AND ANTENNAS WITH A MAXI-MUM GAIN OF 9dBi ARE USED FOR A SHIP MOUNTEDSYSTEM. !IC-M504.qxd 05.12.28 11:29 AM Page iii (1,1) iv New2001 FOREWORD ..................................................................... iIMPORTANT ..................................................................... iEXPLICIT DEFINITIONS ...................................................... iIN CASE OF EMERGENCY................................................... iiNOTE .............................................................................. iiRADIO OPERATOR WARNING ............................................. iiiTABLE OF CONTENTS ...................................................... ivPRECAUTIONS .................................................................. v1 OPERATING RULES ...................................................... 12 PANEL DESCRIPTION ................................................ 2–5  Front panel .........................................…
