AFJ298700VHF Marine Transceiver

i SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as“Occupational Use Only”, meaning it must be used only duringthe course of employment by individuals aware of the haz-ards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio isNOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an un-controlled environment. This radio has been evaluated for compliance at the distance of 2.5 cm withthe FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only”. In addition, your Icomradio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RFenergy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for ex-posure to humans: • FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electro-magnetic Fields. • American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Elec-tromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. • American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous ElectromagneticFields– RF and Microwave. • The following accessories are authorized for use with this product. Use of accessories other than those specified may result in RF exposure levelsexceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.; Belt Clip (MB-109), Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack (BP-252) and Alkaline BatteryCase (BP-251). To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic en- ergy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupationaluse, always adhere to the following guidelines: CAUTION WARNING • DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damaged the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposurelimits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the man-ufacturer or antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for usewith this radio. • DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF expo-sure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmittingwhen the “TX indicator” lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit bypressing the “PTT” switch. • ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting and only use the Icom belt-clips which are listed onpage 29 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF ex-posure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipi-ents of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side. The information listed above provides the user with the information needed tomake him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radiooperates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityDuring transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can possiblycause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference,turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such ashospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.Occupational/Controlled UseThe radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are exposed asconsequence of their employment provided those persons are fully aware ofthe potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. ii IN CASE OF EMERGENCYIf your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels andthe Coast Guard by sending a distress call on Channel 16. ❍ USING CHANNEL 16 DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE1. “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY.”2. “THIS IS ...........................” (name of vessel)3. Your call sign or other indication of the ves- sel. 4. “LOCATED AT .....................” (your position)5. The nature of the distress and assistance re- quired. 6. Any other information which might facilitate the rescue. RECOMMENDATIONCLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY WITH FRESHWATER after exposure to saltwater, and dry it before opera- tion. Otherwise, the transceiver's keys, switches and con-trollers may become inoperable due to salt crystallization.NOTE: DO NOT wash the transceiver in water if there is any reason to suspect the waterproofing may not be effective. Forexample, in cases where the battery pack rubber seal is dam-aged, the transceiver/battery pack is cracked or broken, orhas been dropped, or when the battery pack is detached fromthe transceiver. FOREWORDThank you for purchasing this Icom product. The IC-M34 VHF MARINE TRANSCEIVER is designed and built with Icom’s state of the art technology and craftsmanship. With proper care thisproduct should provide you with years of trouble-free operation. IMPORTANTREAD ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and com- pletely before using the transceiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL— This in- struction manual contains important operating instructions forthe IC-M34. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS FEATURES☞ Submersible construction Built tough to withstand the punishing marine environ-ment, the IC-M34’s submersible construction meets IPX7of the corresponding International Standard IEC 60529(2001) while using BP-251 (option) or BP-252. ☞ Floating on water Even when the supplied accessories isattached, the IC-M34 floats on water. • When third-party or counterfeit battery pack, strap, antenna, etc. is used, it maysink. ☞ Large, easy-to-read LCD With dimensions of 16(H) × 32(W) mm; 5 ⁄ 8 (H) × 1 1 ⁄ 4 (W) inch, the IC-M34’s function display is easy to read andshows operating conditions at a glance.
