1 WEST MARINE VHF250 (MULTI-BAND) HANDHELD MARINE RADIO UNIDEN AMERICA CORPORATION 6 West Marine VHF150 Radio Owner’s Manual Maritime Radio Services Operation Warning! This transmitter will operate on channels/frequen- cie that have restricted use in the United States. The channel assignments include frequencies assigned for exclusive use of the U.S. Coast Guard, use in Canada, and use in interna- tional waters. Operation on these frequencies without proper authorization is strictly forbidden. For frequencies/channels that are currently for use in the U.S. without an individual li- cense, please contact the FCC Call Center at 1-888-CALL- FCC (1-888-225-5322). For individuals requiring a license, such as commercial us- ers, you should obtain a license application from your near- est FCC fi eld offi ce (for US users) or Industry Canada (for Canadian users).

Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference. Unauthorized changes or modifi cations to this equipment may void compliance with the FCC Rules. Any change or modifi cation must be approved in writing by West Marine. Changes or modifi cations not approved by West Marine could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 8 West Marine VHF150 Radio Owner’s Manual FCC RF Exposure Information WARNING! Read this information before using the radio In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96- 326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan- dard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bod- ies. The design of the radio complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards. Never allow children to operate the radio without adult supervision and the knowledge of the following guidelines. WARNING! It is up to the user to properly operate this radio trans- mitter to insure safe operation. Please adhere to the following: Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized an- tennas, modifi cations, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the radio, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna. If a damaged an- tenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna. Body-worn Operation This device was tested for typical body- worn operations using the supplied belt-clip. To maintain compli- ance with FCC RF exposure requirements, body-worn operations are restricted to the supplied belt-clip. For hand-held operation, the radio should be held 1 inch from the user’s face. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not com- ply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov 2 Table Of Contents Section & Item Page 1. Executive Summary 4 2. Product Specifications 4 3.

DC Voltage & Current into Final Device 2.1033(C)(8) ------------------------------------------ To measure the DC Voltage and Current into Final Amplifying Device, the measuring equipment was connected to the actual P.C.Board of the transmitter. FCC limits: Not specified Test Results: Refer to test data 2. RF Output Power 2.1046 ------------------- The unit was tuned-up in accordance with the alignment procedure stated in the EXHIBIT-6, and was loaded into a 50-ohm resistive termination. The unit was powered through its normally supplied power cable by a DC power supply. Power supply voltage was set to nominal voltage at the power supply terminals with the transmitter off. The unit was operated for three consecutive test cycles of 15 minutes standby and 5 minutes in transmitting. At the end of the third 5 minutes period, the RF output power is measured. During the test, no components of the emission spectrum exceed the limit specified in the applicable rule part for occupied bandwidth or emission limitations. FCC limits: Not specified Test Results: Refer to test data 3. Modulation Characteristics (Audio Roll-off) 2.1047 & 80.213 ----------------------------------------------- To measure the audio roll-off filter response, an audio frequency oscillator and AF VTVM were connected to the actual P.C.Board of the transmitter. AF VTVM and an oscilloscope monitored the output of the audio filter. An AF input level was maintained was maintained constant at least 10 dB below the saturation level at maximum response frequency. The measurement was made under the above conditions by varying the frequency between 1 kHz and 100 kHz. FCC limits: 3 kHz - 15 kHz: -40 log 10 (F/3) dB Above 20kHz : At least -28 dB Test Results: Refer to test data 4. Modulation Characteristics (Audio Frequency Response) 2.1047 --------------------------------------------------------- Operate the unit under the standard test conditions and monitor the output with a modulation or a calibrated test receiver. With a 1000 Hz sine wave (applied through a dummy microphone circuit) used as a 0 dB reference, vary the modulating frequency from 300 to 3000 Hz and observe the level necessary to maintain a constant 30% modulation. FCC limits: 300 - 3000 Hz: 6dB/octave roll-off (+1/-3 dB) Test Results: Refer to test data 5. Modulation Characteristics (Modulation Limiting) 2.1047 ---------------------------------------------------- The transmitter shall be adjusted for full rated system deviation, 1000 Hz and reference it as 0dB input. With modulation frequencies of 300, 1000 and 3000 Hz respectively, vary the audio input to a level 20dB above that required at 100 Hz to produce 60% of rated system deviation. This is required for both up to and down modulation. Record the percent of full system deviation obtained as a function of input level. FCC limits: +/-5 kHz deviation Test Results: Refer to test data 6. Occupied Bandwidth 2.1049(c)(1) & 80.211 ---------------------- The spectrum of the modulated carrier was monitored by a panoramic method capable of 60dB amplitude range. The unit was modulated with a 2500 Hz audio signal at an input level 16dB above that required for 50% of maximum system deviation. In case the 100Hz of CTCSS tone or 100 bps of digital coded data modulation is indicated for this transmitter, a representative measurement data for this operation is also presented. Since the total deviation of the unit is designed as 4.7 kHz Div., the deviation of 2500Hz audio signal was set to 3.7 kHz Div., as the maximum deviation of tone or digital coded signal was continuously set to 1.0 kHz Div. At first, tone or digital signal was disabled and set the 2500 Hz audio signal to 1.85 kHz deviation (= 50% of 3.7 kHz deviation). Then, the input level of 2500Hz audio signal was increased by 16dB. In this condition, the tone or digital coded signal was then enabled and imposed with 2500Hz audio signal. FCC limits: a) -25dB (50 - 100% of assigned frequency) b) -35dB (100 - 250% of assigned frequency) c) 43 + 10log 10 (RF output power in Watts) dB or 80dB, whichever is lesser attenuation for more than 250% of assigned frequency Test Results: Refer to test data 7. Spurious & Harmonic Emission at Antenna Terminal 2.1051 ---------------------------------------------------- Spurious radiation is the radio frequency voltage or power generated within the equipment and appearing at the equipment's output terminals when properly loaded with its characteristic non-radiating load. The unit was modulated with a 2500 Hz tone at an input level 16dB greater than that required 50% modulation. The spectrum was scanned from the lowest frequency generated in the equipment to the tenth harmonic of the carrier. FCC limits: 43 + 10log 10 (RF output power in Watts) dB Test Results: Refer to test data 8. Field Strength of Spurious & Harmonic Radiation 2.1053 --------------------------------------------------- Measurement Procedure & Test Site Description Field strength measurements of radiated spurious emissions were made on a 3-meter ran…
