20 5) : "LCD Segments" : Shows the channel number in use. Select a channel with the Channel selector. 6) "LOW" : Appears when the transmitter output power has been set to Low power (1 watt) with the [1/25]/Dim, or when a low power channel has been selected with the Channel selector. ...

22 Audible Alarm Audible alarms are generated in the following conditions: 1) One short beep: Valid key operation 2) 3 shor t beeps: Invalid key operation 3) One 5 sec. beep: Weather alert Dual Watch Mode The Dual Watch mode allows you to monitor CH16 and the selected working channel and the Weather...

23 If a signal is present on CH16, the receiver locks on CH16 and ignores the other channels. After the signal has gone, the receiver stays on CH16 for 5 seconds, and then reverts to the Dual Watch mode again. In the case that a signal is present on the selected working channel, CH16 is monitored mo...

26 4. General Notes on Operating Marine VHF 4-1. Rules and Manners The FM-2710 fully complies with the requirements for international maritime VHF radio service. It is intended to be used by a person who holds a valid radio operator's license and station call sign. Below are some impor tant rules, r...

27 • Declare ID or call sign at the beginning and end of each communication. • Use appropriate channels. • Do not divulge contents of communications nor use them for private benefit without permission. (This does not apply to distress communication.) • Be aware that many people are listening. Do not...

28 4-2. Communication Distance The FM-2710 operates on the VHF band assigned for maritime mobile stations (156.025 to 163.275 MHz). The VHF radio wave, unlike LF or HF, propagates like a light ray. Thus communication is only available with another VHF antenna which is above the horizon. This is call...

29 5. Maintenance The FM-2710 is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. It is, however, recommended to inspect and maintain the following points to minimize the possibility of equipment failure and assure optimum performance. Be sure to disconnect the power cable at the fuse holders be...

31 6. Troubleshooting Minor Troubleshooting Most of VHF troubles are caused not by the transceiver itself but by the ANT/feeder or power supply system. The list below provides simple troubleshooting that can be done by the operator. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHECK INSIDE THE TRANSCEIVER. CARELESS HANDLING M...
