WHEN INSTALLING THE DSC UNIT
NEVER transmit a distress call when your vessel does not
need immediate help. Distress calls can be used only in times
of emergency.

in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F).
DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the ves-
sel’s engine. When your vessel’s engine is OFF and the
transceiver is transmitting, the vessel’s battery will soon be-
come exhausted.
KEEP the transceiver out of the reach of children.

AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
KEEP the antenna cable and DC power cable as far away
as possible from electrical pumps, generators and other elec-
tronic instruments to prevent instrument malfunctions.
KEEP the transceiver and microphone at least 1 meter
away from your vessel's magnetic navigation compass.
RWARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER touch
the antenna or an internal antenna connector during trans-
mission. This may result in an electric shock or a burn.

than 16 V DC. This connection will ruin the transceiver.
