PROHIBITED COMMUNICATIONS
5.2
ABOUT VHF RADIO
5.3
DISTRESS AND HAILING (CHANNEL 16)
The FCC prohibits the following communications: • False distress or emergency messages: • Messages to “any boat” except in emergencies and radio tests; • Messages to or from a vessel on land; • Transmission while on land; • Obscene, indecent, or profane language (potential fine of $10,000). The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with some shore stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially “line of sight” (VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as buildings, hills or trees). Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter. On a fixed mount 25W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles, for a portable 6W radio transmission the expected distance can be greater than 5 miles in “line of sight”. Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency may be defined as a threat to life or property. In such instances, be sure the transceiver is on and set to CHANNEL 16. Then use the following procedure: 1. Press the PTT (Push-To-Talk) button and say “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday. This is , , ” (your vessel’s name). 2. Then repeat once: “Mayday, ” (your vessel’s name). 3. Now report your position in latitude/longitude, or by giving a true or magnetic bearing (state which) to a well-known landmark such as a navigation aid or geographic feature such as an island or harbor entry. 4. Explain the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, fire, heart attack, life-threatening injury, etc.). 5. State the kind of assistance your desire (pumps, medical aid, etc.). 6. Report the number of persons aboard and condition of any injured. 7. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel. 8. Give your vessel’s description: length, design (power or sail), color and other distinguishing marks. The total transmission should not exceed 1 minute. 9. End the message by saying “OVER”. Release the PTT button and listen. 10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no response, try another channel. HX870

NOTE The HX870 has the DSC Distress calling, that can transmit a distress call digitally to all ships with compatible DSC radios. Refer to section “10 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (DSC)”.
5.4
CALLING ANOTHER VESSEL (CHANNEL 16 OR 9)
Channel 16 may be used for initial contact (hailing) with another vessel. However, its most important use is for emergency messages. This channel must be monitored at all times except when actually using another channel. It is monitored by the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards and by other vessels. Use of channel 16 for hailing must be limited to initial contact only. Calling should not exceed 30 seconds, but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals. In areas of heavy radio traffic, congestion on channel 16 resulting from its use as a hailing channel can be reduced significantly in U.S. waters by using channel 9 as the initial contact (hailing) channel for non-emergency communications. Here, also, calling time should not exceed 30 seconds but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals. Prior to making contact with another vessel, refer to the channel charts in this manual, and select an appropriate channel for communications after initial contact. For example, Channels 68 and 69 of the U.S. VHF Charts are some of the channels available to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. Monitor your desired channel in advance to make sure you will not be interrupting other traffic, and then go back to either channel 16 or 9 for your initial contact. When the hailing channel (16 or 9) is clear, press the PTT button and state the name of the other vessel you wish to call and then “this is” followed by the name of your vessel and your Station License (Call Sign) then release the PTT button. When the other vessel returns your call, immediately request another channel by pressing the PTT button and saying “go to”, the number of the other channel, say “over” and release the PTT button. Then switch to the new channel. When the new channel is not busy, call the other vessel. After a transmission, say “over”, and release the PTT button. When all communication with the other vessel is completed, end the last transmission by stating your Call Sign and the word “out”. Note that it is not necessary to state your Call Sign with each transmission, only at the beginning and end of the contact. Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some radios automatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or when scanning. Page 10
HX870
5.5
MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS
To make a radiotelephone call, use a channel designated for this purpose. The fastest way to learn which channels are used for radiotelephone traffic is to ask at a local marina. Channels available for such traffic are designated Public Correspondence channels on the channel charts in this manual. Some examples for USA use are Channels 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 84, 85, 86, and 87. Call the marine operator and identify yourself by your vessel’s name. The marine operator will then ask you how you will pay for the call (telephone credit card, collect, etc.) and then link your radio transmission to the telephone lines. The marine telephone company managing the VHF channel you are using may charge a link-up fee in addition to the cost of the call.
5.6
BRIDGE CHANNELS 13 AND 67
Channel 13 is used at docks, bridges and by vessels maneuvering in port. Messages on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing in restricted waters. Channel 67 is used for navigational traffic between vessels. By regulation, power is normally limited to 1 Watt on these channels. Your radio is programmed to automatically reduce power to this limit on these channels. However, in certain situations it may be necessary to temporarily use a higher power. See Page 26 for means to temporarily override the low-power limit on these two channels.

AUTOMATED RADIO CHECK SERVICE
In areas across the country, Sea Tow offers boaters a way to conduct radio checks. To use Sea Tow’s free Automated Radio Check service, simply tune your VHF radio to the appropriate channel for your location and conduct a radio check as you typically would. Upon releasing your radio’s microphone, the system will play an automated message and relay your transmission back to you, thereby letting you know how your signal will sound to other boaters. The Automated Radio Check Service is currently available in the areas listed below. West Coast Sea Tow Newport/LA - Ch. 27 Sea Tow San Diego - Ch. 27 Northeast Sea Tow Portland-Midcoast (Maine) - Ch. 27 Sea Tow Boston - Ch. 27 Sea Tow South Shore (Mass.) - Ch. 28 Sea Tow Rhode Island - Ch. 24 Sea Tow Eastern Long Island - Ch. 27 Sea Tow Huntington (N.Y.) - Ch. 27 Sea Tow Manasquan (N.J.) - Ch. 28 Mid-Atlantic Sea Tow Northern Chesapeake (Md.) - Ch. 28 Sea Tow Central Chesapeake (Md.) - Ch. 27 Sea Tow Hampton Roads (Va.) - Ch. 28 North Carolina Sea Tow Wrightsville Beach - Ch. 28 Sea Tow Ocean Isle Beach - Ch. 28 Florida Sea Tow Sebastian - Ch. 28 Sea Tow Fort Lauderdale - Ch. 27 Sea Tow Charlotte Harbor - Ch. 24 Sea Tow Tampa Bay - Ch. 27 Sea Tow Horseshoe Beach - Ch. 27 Sea Tow Carrabelle/St. Marks - Ch. 27 Sea Tow Pensacola/Orange Beach (Ala.) - Ch. 27

BATTERIES AND CHARGERS
If the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by connecting the SBH-12 Charger Cradle with the SAD-11B battery charger, as shown in the illustration. If 12V DC power is available, the E-DC-19A DC Cable with 12 V Cigarette Lighter Plug or the optional E-DC-6 DC Cable may be used for charging the battery. The SAD-11B, E-DC-19A and E-DC-6 will charge a completely discharged SBR-13LI battery pack in about 3 hours. The SBR-13LI is a high performance Li-ion battery providing high capacity in a compact package. SBR-13LI Rechargeable Battery Pack Capacity Nominal Voltage Temperature Range Charge Discharge Storage
1800 mAh 7.4 V Minimum Maximum °C °F °C °F 5 41 35 95 –20 –4 60 140 –10 14 35 95 CAUTION
To avoid risk of explosion and injury, SBR-13LI battery pack should only be removed, charged or recharged in non-hazardous environments.
6.1.1 Battery Safety Battery packs for your transceiver contain Li-ion batteries. This type of battery stores a charge powerful enough to be dangerous if misused or abused, especially when removed from the transceiver. Please observe the following precautions: DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS: Shorting the terminals that power the transceiver can cause sparks, severe overheating, burns, and battery cell damage. If the short is of sufficient duration, it is possible to melt battery components. Do not place a loose battery pack on or near metal surfaces or HX870
Page 13
objects such as paper clips, keys, tools, etc. When the battery pack is installed on the transceiver, the terminals that transfer current to the transceiver are not exposed. The terminals that are exposed on the battery pack when it is mounted on the transceiver are charging terminals only and do not constitute a hazard. DO NOT INCINERATE: Do not dispose of any battery in a fire or incinerator. The heat of fire may cause battery cells to explode and/or release dangerous gases. Battery Maintenance For safe and proper battery use, please observe the following: Battery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environments. Use only STANDARD HORIZON-approved batteries. Use only a STANDARD HORIZON-approved charger. The use of any other charger may cause permanent damage to the battery. Follow charging instructions provided with the chargers. Keep the battery contacts clean. Battery Storage Store the batteries in a cool place to maximize storage life. Since batteries are subject to self-discharge, avoid high storage temperatures that cause large self-discharge rates. After extended storage, a full recharge is recommended. Battery Recycling DO NOT PLACE USED BATTERIES IN YOUR REGULAR TRASH! LI-ION BATTERIES MUST BE COLLECTED, RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND MANNER. The incineration, land filling or mixing of Li-ion batteries with the municipal solid waste stream is PROHIBITED BY LAW in most areas. Return batteries to an approved Li-ion battery recycler. This may be where you purchased the battery. Contact your local waste management officials for other information regarding the environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of Li-ion batteries.

10 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (DSC) 10.1 GENERAL WARNING This HX870 is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and safety call to facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety device, this equipment must be used only within communication range of a shore-based VHF marine channel 70 distress and safety watch system. The range of signal may vary but under normal conditions should be approximately 5 nautical miles. Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is a semi-automated method of establishing a radio call, it has been designated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as an international standard for establishing VHF, MF and HF radio calls. It has also been designated as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). It is planned that DSC will eventually replace aural watches on distress frequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety information broadcasts. This system allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS position (when connected to the transceiver) to the Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiate or receive Distress, Urgency, Safety, Routine, Position Request, and Position Report, Automatic Position Polling, and Group calls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSC transceiver.
10.2 MARITIME MOBILE SERVICE IDENTITY (MMSI) 10.2.1 What is an MMSI?
An MMSI is a nine digit number used on marine transceivers capable of using Digital Selective Calling (DSC). This number is used like a telephone number to selectively call other vessels. THIS NUMBER MUST BE PROGRAMMED INTO THE RADIO TO OPERATE DSC FUNCTIONS. How can I obtain an MMSI assignment? In the USA, visit the following websites to register: http://www.boatus.com/mmsi/ http://www.seatow.com/tools-and-education/mmsi http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=licensing&id=ship_stations In Canada, visit http://www.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/smt-gst.nsf/en/sf01032e.html Page 38

10.6 GROUP CALL
This feature allows the user to contact a group of specific vessels (e.g. members of a yacht club) using DSC radios with the group call function to automatically switch to a desired channel for voice communications. This function is very useful for yacht clubs and vessels traveling together that want to collectively make announcements on a predetermined channel. Up to 20 group MMSIs may be programmed.
10.6.1 Setting up a Group Call For this function to operate, the same group MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity Number) must be programmed into all the DSC VHF radios within the group of vessels that will be using this feature. To understand Group MMSI programming, first a ship MMSI has to be understood. Ship MMSI: The first three digits called MID (Mobile Identity Group) of a ship MMSI denote the country where the ship’s MMSI is registered. The last 6 digits are specific to the ships ID. Ship MMSI Example: If your MMSI is “366123456”, “366” is MID which denote the country and “123456” is your ships MMSI. Group MMSI: Group MMSI numbers are not assigned by the FCC or other organizations licensed to assign ship MMSI numbers. The first digit of a group MMSI is always set to “0” by International rules. All Standard Horizon radios are preset so when programming a group MMSI the first digit is set to “0”. The USCG recommends programming the MID of a ship MMSI into the Second, Third and Fourth digits of the group MMSI as it denotes the area the ship is located in. The last 5 digits are decided upon by persons in the group. This is an important step as all radios in the group must contain the same group MMSI so they can be contacted by each other. There is a chance that another group of vessels may program in the same group MMSI. If this happens, simply change one or more of the last 5 digits of the group MMSI.

18 CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS Tables on the following columns list the VHF Marine Channel assignments for U.S.A. and International use. Below are listed some data about the charts. 1. VTS. Where indicated, these channels are part of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Vessel Traffic System. 2. Alpha channel numbers, that is, channel numbers followed by the letter A (such as Channel 07A) are simplex channels on the U.S.A. or Canadian channel assignments whose counterparts in the International assignments are duplex channels. International channels do not use “alpha” numbers. If you call the Coast Guard on Channel 16, they will sometimes ask you to “go to channel 22 Alpha”. This is a channel assigned to U.S.A, and Canadian Coast Guards for handling distress and other calls. If your radio is set for International operation you will go to Channel 22 instead of 22A, and will not be able to communicate with the Coast Guard. To use Channel 22A, your radio must be set for USA or Canada operation, usually by a U/I/C (USA/International/Canada) control or combination of controls. Channel 22 (without an “A”) is an International duplex channel for port operations. Some radios indicate an “A” adjacent to the alpha channels on the display; on others “alpha” is not indicated but the proper channel is selected based on the U/I/C setting. 3. Bridge-to-Bridge channels (for example, Channel 13) are for use by bridge operators on inter-coastal waterways and rivers. It is also used by marine vessels in the vicinity of these bridges for navigation and for communicating with the bridge operators. Note that a limit of 1 Watt is specified for these channels. 4. The S/D column on the chart indicates either S (simplex) or D (duplex). Simplex means transmitting and receiving on the same frequency. Only one party at a time can talk, unlike a telephone. Be sure to say “over” and release your microphone push-to-talk switch at the end of each transmission. Duplex operation involves the use of one frequency for transmitting and a separate frequency for receiving. On channels specified as duplex on the charts, correct mode of operation is established automatically by your radio when you select a channel; you cannot change the mode. And you still must release the push-to-talk switch after each transmission in order to listen to the radio. 5. Channels normally used by recreational boaters are those that include the term “non-commercial” in the Channel Use column of the chart. Some of these are shared with other users and some are used only in certain geographic regions. Page 122
HX870
6. Marine vessels equipped with VHF radios are required to monitor Channel 16. 7. 156.050 MHz and 156.175 MHz are available for port operations and commercial communications purposes when used only within the U.S. Coast Guard designated Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) area of New Orleans, on the lower Mississippi River from the various pass entrances in the Gulf of Mexico to Devil’s Swamp Light at River Mile 242.4 above head of passes near Baton Rouge. 8. 156.250 MHz is available for port operations communications use only within the U.S. Coast Guard designated VTS radio protection areas of New Orleans and Houston described in Sec. 80.383. 156.250 MHz is available for intership port operations communications used only within the area of Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors, within a 25- nautical mile radius of Point Fermin, California. 9. 156.550 MHz, 156.600 MHz and 156.700 MHz are available in the U.S. Coast Guard designated port areas only for VTS communications and in the Great Lakes available primarily for communications relating to the movement of ships in sectors designated by the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation or the U.S. Coast Guard. The use of these frequencies outside VTS and ship movement sector protected areas is permitted provided they cause no interference to VTS and ship movement communications in their respective designated sectors. 10. Use of 156.875 MHz is limited to communications with pilots regarding the movement and docking of ships. Normal output power must not exceed 1 watt. 5: 156.375 MHz and 156.650 MHz are available primarily for intership navigational communications. These frequencies are available between coast and ship on a secondary basis when used on or in the vicinity of locks or drawbridges. Normal output power must not exceed 1 watt. Maximum output power must not exceed 10 watts for coast stations or 25 watts for ship stations. 11. On the Great Lakes, in addition to bridge-to-bridge communications, 156.650 MHz is available for vessel control purposes in established vessel traffic systems. 156.650 MHz is not available for use in the Mississippi River from South Pass Lighted Whistle Buoy “2” and Southwest Pass entrance Mid-channel Lighted Whistle Buoy to mile 242.4 above Head of Passes near Baton Rouge. Additionally it is not available for use in the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet, the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal, and the Inner Harbor Navigational Canal, except to aid the transition from these areas. 12.

Outside Puget Sound area and its approaches and the Great Lakes, 157.425 MHz is also available for communications between commercial fishing vessels and associated aircraft while engaged in commercial fishing activities. 14. When the frequency 156.850 MHz is authorized, it may be used additionally for search and rescue training exercises conducted by state or local governments. 15. The frequency 156.850 MHz is additionally available to coast stations on the Great Lakes for transmission of scheduled Coded Marine Weather Forecasts (MAFOR), Great Lakes Weather Broadcast (LAWEB) and scheduled Notices to Mariners or Bulletins. F3C and J3C emissions are permitted. Coast Stations on the Great Lakes must cease weather broadcasts which cause interference to stations operating on 156.800 MHz until the interference problem is resolved. 16. The frequency 157.100 MHz is authorized for search and rescue training exercises by state or local government in conjunction with U.S. Coast Guard stations. Prior U.S. Coast Guard approval is required. Use must cease immediately on U.S. Coast Guard request. 17.

23 RF EXPOSURE SAFETY STATEMENT SAFETY INFORMATION Your wireless handheld portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pushed, the transceiver sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless devices. This device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50 % (this corresponds to 50% transmission time and 50 % reception time). WARNING: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, this transmitter and its antenna must maintain a separation distance of at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your face. Speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away from the face at the required separation distance. If you use a headset accessory for this radio, with the radio worn on your body, use only the Yaesu belt clip for this transceiver, and ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the transmitter, and may violate FCC regulations.
CONSIGNES DE SECURITE Votre émetteur-récepteur portatif sans fil contient un émetteur à faible puissance. Lorsque vous appuyez sur le bouton Push-to-Talk (PTT), l’émetteur-récepteur émet des signaux de radiofréquence (RF). En août 1996, la FCC (Commission Fédérale des Communications) a adopté des directives relatives à l’exposition aux RF avec des niveaux de sécurité pour les appareils sans fils portatifs. Le fonctionnement de cet appareil est autorisé à un facteur d’utilisation ne dépassant pas 50 % (correspondant à 50% de la durée de transmission et 50% de la durée de réception). AVERTISSEMENT: Pour assurer la conformité avec les directives d’exposition RF de la FCC, cet émetteur-récepteur et son antenne doivent être maintenus à une distance minimum d’un pouce (2,5 centimètre) de votre visage. Parlez avec une voix normale, avec l’antenne dirigée vers le haut et éloignée du visage, à la distance requise. Si vous utilisez un casque pour cette radio, et que vous portez la radio sur vous, utilisez exclusivement le clip de ceinture Yaesu pour cet émetteur-récepteur, et assurez-vous que l’antenne se trouve à une distance minimum d’un pouce (2,5 centimètres) de votre corps pendant l’émission. Utilisez exclusivement l’antenne fournie. Les antennes, les modifications ou les accessoires non autorisés peuvent endommager l’émetteur-récepteur et enfreindre les réglementations FCC.
