The IC-M323/ IC-M323G/IC-M324/IC-M324G v h f m a r i n e t r a n s c e i v e r is designed and built with Icom’s state of the art technology and craftsmanship. With proper care, this product should provide you with years of trouble-free operation. We appreciate you making the IC-M323, IC-M323G, IC-M324, or IC-M324G your radio of choice, and hope you agree with Icom’s philosophy of “technology first.” Many hours of research and development went into the de sign of your radio. FEATURES D ❍ Simple operation with large keys ❍ Easy to hear speaker ❍ Built-in DSC meets ITU Class D requirement ❍ Rugged waterproof construction ❍ Easy to make an individual DSC calls using the optional MA-500TR Class B AIS Transponder IMPORTANT READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL — This in- struction manual contains important operating instructions for the transceiver. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS WORDDEFINITION RWARNING! Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur. CAUTION Equipment damage may occur. NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock. CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER AND MICROPHONE THOR- OUGHLY WITH FRESH WATER after exposure to water including salt, otherwise, the keys and switch may become inoperable due to salt crystallization. IN CASE OF EMERGENCY If your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels and the Coast Guard by sending a Distress call on Channel 16. Or, transmit your Distress call using digital selective calling on Channel 70. USING CHANNEL 16 DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE 1. “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY.” 2. “THIS IS ...............” (name of vessel). 3. Say your call sign or other description 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 res- cue. USING DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (Ch 70) DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE 1. While lifting up the key cover, hold down [DISTRESS] for 3 seconds until you hear 3 short beeps and then 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. Hold down [PTT], then transmit the appropriate informa- tion as listed above. ii INSTALLATION NOTE Installation: The installation of this equipment should be made in such a manner as to respect the EC recommended electromagnetic field exposure limits. (1999/519/EC) The maximum RF power available from this device is 25 watts. The antenna should be installed as high as possible for maximum efficiency and the installation height should be at least 1.4 meters above any accessible position. In the case where an antenna cannot be installed at a reasonable height, then the transmitter should neither be continuously operated for long periods if any person is within a distance of 1.4 me- ters of the antenna, nor operated at all if any person is touch- ing the antenna. It is recommended that antenna of a maximum gain of 3 dB are used. If higher gain antenna are required then please contact your Icom distributor for revised installation recom- mendations. Operation: The exposure to RF electromagnetic field is only applicable when this device is transmitting. This exposure is naturally reduced due to the nature of alternating periods of receiving and transmitting. Keep your transmissions to the minimum necessary. iii 11 CHAPTER CONTINUED New2001 RADIO OPERATOR WARNING WARNING Icom requires the radio operator to meet the FCC Requirements for Radio Frequency Expo- sure. An omnidirectional antenna with gain not greater than 9 dBi must be mounted a mini- mum of 5 meters (measured from the lowest point of the antenna) vertically above the main deck and all possible personnel. This is the minimum safe separation distance estimated to meet all RF exposure com- pliance requirements. This 5 meter distance is based on the FCC Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) distance of 3 meters added to the height of an adult (2 meters) and is appropriate for all vessels. For watercraft without suitable structures, the antenna must be mounted so as to maintain a minimum of 1 meter verti- cally between the antenna, (measured from the lowest point of the antenna), to the heads of all persons AND all persons must stay outside of the 3 meter MPE radius. Do not transmit with radio and antenna when persons are within the MPE radius of the antenna, unless such persons (such as driver or radio operator) are shielded from antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance from the antenna axis that person should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the al- lowable MPE level set by FCC. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW THOSE WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF RADIATION ABSORPTION WHICH EXCEEDS THE FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RADIO OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPO- SURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING RADIO TRANSMISSION. THE RADIO OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS COME WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS. Determining MPE Radius THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) RA- DIUS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE A RADIUS OF ABOUT 3M PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE FCC. THIS ESTIMATE IS MADE ASSUMING THE MAXIMUM POWER OF THE RADIO AND ANTENNAS WITH A MAXI- MUM GAIN OF 9dBi ARE USED FOR A SHIP MOUNTED SYSTEM. iv 11 CHAPTER CONTINUED New2001 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 AVERTISSEMENT POUR LES OPÉRATEURS RADIO Icom exige que l'opérateur radio se conforme aux exigen…
