It has been tested for compliance with all necessary FCC standards. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, cause undesired operation. The VHF 725 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by and authorized service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void your warranty and your authority to operate this device. IMPORTANT! GARMIN strongly recommends obtaining a marine radio user’s guide such as the “Maritime Radio User’s Handbook” published by the RCTM (Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services), P.O. Box 19087, Washington, D.C. 20036, to ensure proper radio operation and protocol. Improper usage can result in fines levied on mariners by the FCC. iii INTRODUCTION Warnings and Precautions IMPORTANT! The Telecommunications Act of 1996, effective February 8, 1996, provides the FCC discretion to eliminate radio station license requirements for aircraft and ships. At the present time, you do not need an individual license to operate the VHF 725 aboard your private vessel in many circumstances. To find out the specific details on whether you are exempt from licensing, please refer to the FCC Fact Sheet PR 5000 or contact the FCC at: 1-800-322-1117. Note that no license is required for a portable radio used only as a backup on a vessel which already has a station license per FCC 506 Instructions, dated 1993. If a marine license is required or desired, contact the FCC at 1-800-322-1117 to request Form 506, Application for Ship Radio License. The FCC also has a fax-on-demand service to provide forms by fax at 1-202-418-0177. The VHF 725 user accepts all responsibility for obtaining the proper licensing before using the transmitter. WARNING! This transmitter will operate on frequencies (channels) that have restricted use in the United States. The channel assign- ments include frequencies assigned for exclusive use of the U.S. Coast Guard, use in Canada, and use in International 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 license, please contact the FCC Call Center at 1-888-CALL-FCC. iv INTRODUCTION Warnings and Precautions IMPORTANT! Read all instructions carefully and completely before using the VHF 725 Marine Radio. This device is intended only as an aid to boating safety and navigation. The performance of the VHF 725 can be affected by many factors including environ- mental conditions and improper handling or use. It is the user’s responsibility to exercise good safety and navigational judge- ment and the GARMIN VHF 725 should not be relied upon in lieu of such prudence and judgement. CAUTIONS For these reasons, the operator should exercise the follow- ing precautions t…

Other adjustments are made in software using a test monitor program. Transmit frequency is set by adjusting the variable capacitor C111. The test monitor program is used to adjust high and lower power settings from the microcontroller and these values are stored in memory. Next, a standard modulating signal is applied to the external microphone input and digital potentiometer I205-A is adjusted to limit maximum modulation capability to <5 kHz deviation. This setting is also stored in memory.
