Carefully remove your transceiver from the packing carton and examine it for signs of shipping damage. Should any be apparent, notify the delivering carrier or dealer immediately, stating the full extent of the damage. It is recommends that you keep the shipping cartons. In the event storage, moving, or reshipment becomes necessary, they come in handy. Various accessories are packed with the transceiver. Make sure you have not overlooked anything. : @ .

s BATTERY INSTALLATION When using Nickel-Cadmium prows pack [G-CM: The 1C-CM3 is a rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium power pack, and it can be slipped onto or off of the set very easily. It has a connector for charger, charger-current control circuit, reverse polarity protection circuit and charge indicator LED in its own pack. You can use the supplied CM-25U/E wall charger or similar simple wall charger, or a 12V battery by using optional cable 1C-CM1 for recharging.
§ | | Connect the output plug of the wall charger: or other power source, to the charger casket of the power pack, (When charging Nickel-Cadmium batteries in the |C-CM4 power pack, you should use the CM-30 charger only.) The charge indicator LED of the power pack is |it, which shows that the charger is working. Cigarette g‘cfcwga Lighter plug OUTLET it takes about 15 hours to charge the batteries completely. This charger is designed for 0.
PRECAUTIONS FOR URE OF THE NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES {geom the JIE CBI05 MANUAL) General Cautions 1. 2. Never short the power pack. Since internal resistance is low, excess shorted current flows away, causing the batteries or conductors to burn. Avoid harts! A label showing polarity is on the power pack. Never solder the batteries directly. 1f the batteries are soldered directly, the separator or insulator may become mated and damaged. . Accordingly, the terminal must be spot-welded first and then soldered.
When using the bespangling power pack MICMAC: Place the power switch in the OFF position. Remove the power pack from the bottom of the set by pushing: the: pack in the indicated direction. Separate the pack into two parts (chassis and case} as follows: Push the chassis downward. i w patter Press the both sides of the pack. \ The chassis holds six AA type batteries. install batteries into each holder, according to indicated polarity.
WHEN TO REPLACE BATTERIES [When using alkaline batters) When the Transmit Indicator LED dues not light up during transmission; the batteries are exhausted. Use batteries of the same type, for mixed types might cause leakage. Replace worn batteries with a complete new set. If used with old batteries; the life of new ones might be shortened, Battery life s shortened moire by transmitting than by receiving, since several times more current is drawn during transmission.
Sips E 3. On VHE, the power loss in the antenna cable is {rage, 50 Use a cable with the lowest possible loss and make it as short as possible. 4. Use a BNC plug for connection 1o the unit, ATTACHMENT OF HAND STRAP AND BELT CLIP .
i | : LICENSES REGINALD 1. Ship Station License Your craft, when equipped with VHF/EM equipment. ‘has a radio station on board which, if used, must have a current license. . It is unlawful to operate a Ship Station which is not licensed. Inquire through our dealer O appropriate government agency for an application for a Ship Radio-Telephone license.

CHARGER CONNECTOR Connects to the output plug of the wall charger CM:25U/E or other 12V DC power source. BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR Lights during battery charging.
CHAMELEON SELECTION 1. CHANNEL 16 SWITCH " This switch will select Channel 16 instantly, regardless of setting of the CHANNEL SELECT and/or ALLOCATION and WEATHER CHANNEL thumb wheel switches. When the switch is set in the 2'CH 16" petition, the radio operates on Channel 16. In the “DAILY position, the radio operates on a channel which is selected by the CHANNEL SELECT and/or ALLOCATION and WEATHER CHANNEL thumb wheel switches.
183. CHANNEL SELECT THUMB WHEEL SWITCHES These switches select an operating channel of the U.S. Al allocation or International allocation. Usable channels are 17 {017 to /28", and "60" to /88", Set the switches so that the desired channel number is shown on the switches. If you select a channel that is not one of the usable channels, the radio does not operate, RECEIVING Make sure the @ VOLUME CONTROL and POWER SWITCH is in the OFF position; and before turning ON the power switch, confirm as follows: 1.
Tum the @ VOLUME CONTROL and POWER SWITCH clockwise {it will “click” ONJ to a comfortable audio level. If only noise can be heard and no signal, turn the @ SOL control clockwise until the noise from the speaker stops and set it just below this threshold. {(When adjusting the SQL setting, 1f some communication signals can be heard, change the CHANNEL SELECT thumb wheel switches so that ably noise can be heard.
Prevent Interference Before transmitting, monitor the channel you Wish 10 Use to avoid interrupting transmissions in progress. Call Procedures Galls must be properly identified and time limits must be respected, 1. Give your call sign each time you place a cal to another vessel or coast station. (fallacy sign has not been assigned, identify the station by announcing the vessel name and the name of the licensee.) 2. Give your call sign at the end of each transmission of mare than 3 minutes duration. 3.

Channel usage A channel selection system, frequency-usage, has been internationally adapted for the marine VHF band. Each frequency within the spectrum has been assigned a channel number, for example, 156.300 MHz is Channel 6. Specific purposes have been assigned to each channel under this system fe. inter-ship between two vessels and ship-to shore. Geographical locations have specific: channels assigned for use with the land telephone system.
