Radio Operation Warning
Icom requires the radio operator to meet the FCC Requirements for Radio
Frequency Exposure. An omnidirectional antenna with gain not greater than 9
dBi must be mounted a minimum of 5 meters (measured from the lowest point of
the antenna) vertically above the main deck and all possible W ARN ING
personnel. This is the minimum safe separation distance estimated to meet all
RF exposure compliance requirements. This 5 meter distance is based on the FCC
Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) distance of 3 meters added to the
height of an adult (2 meters) and is appropriate for all vessels.
For watercraft without suitable structures, the antenna must be mounted so as
to maintain a minimum of 1 meter vertically between the antenna, (measured
from the lowest point of the antenna), to the heads of all persons AND all
persons must stay outside of the 3 meter MPE radius.
Do not transmit with radio and antenna when persons are within the MPE radius
of the antenna, unless such persons (such as driver or radio operator) are
shielded from antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier. The MPE Radius is
the minimum distance from the antenna axis that person should maintain in
order to avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable MPE level set by FCC.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW THOSE WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO
EXPERIENCE RF RADIATION ABSORPTION WHICH EXCEEDS THE FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE
EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RADIO OPERATOR TO ENSURE
THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING
RADIO TRANSMISSION. THE RADIO OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS COME
WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Determining MPE Radius THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) RADIUS HAS BEEN
ESTIMATED TO BE A RADIUS OF ABOUT 3 M PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE FCC. THIS
ESTIMATE IS MADE ASSUMING THE MAXIMUM POWER OF THE RADIO AND ANTENNAS WITH A
MAXIMUM GAIN OF 9 dBi ARE USED FOR A SHIP MOUNTED SYSTEM.

Avertissement Pour Les Opérateurs Radio
Icom exige que l’opérateur radio se conforme aux exigences de la FCC
en matière d’exposition aux radiofréquences. Une antenne
1
omnidirectionnelle dont le gain ne dépasse pas 9 dBi doit être fixée à une distance minimale de 5 mètres (mesurée depuis le point le plus bas 2
AVERTISSEMENT
de l’antenne) verticalement au-dessus du pont principal et de tout le personnel qui peut s’y trouver. Il s’agit de la distance de sécurité
3
minimale prévue pour satisfaire aux exigences de conformité en matière d’exposition aux
RF. Cette distance de 5 mètres est établie en fonction de l’exposition maximale
4
admissible sécuritaire de 3 mètres établie par la FCC, à laquelle on ajoute la hauteur d’un
adulte (2 mètres); cette distance convient pour tous les navires.
5
Dans le cas des embarcations sans structure convenable, l’antenne doit être fixée de
6
façon à maintenir une distance minimale de 1 mètre verticalement entre cette antenne
(mesurée depuis son point le plus bas) et la tête de toute personne présente; toutes
7
les personnes présentes doivent se tenir à l’extérieur d’un rayon d’exposition maximale
admissible de 3 mètres.
8
Ne pas émettre à l’aide de la radio et de l’antenne lorsque des personnes se trouvent à
9
l’intérieur du rayon d’exposition maximale admissible de cette antenne, à moins que ces
personnes (comme le conducteur ou l’opérateur radio) ne soient protégées du champ
10
de l’antenne par un écran métallique relié à la masse. Le rayon d’exposition maximale
admissible équivaut à la distance minimale que cette personne doit maintenir entre elle
11
et l’axe de l’antenne pour éviter une exposition aux RF supérieure au niveau d’exposition
maximale admissible fixé par la FCC.
12
LE NON-RESPECT DE CES LIMITES PEUT CAUSER, POUR LES PERSONNES
13
SITUÉES DANS LE RAYON D’EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE, UNE
ABSORPTION DE RAYONNEMENT DE RF SUPÉRIEURE À L’EXPOSITION

· Read all rules and regulations pertaining to priorities and keep an up-to-
date copy handy. Safety and distress calls take priority over all others.
· You must monitor Channel 16 when you are not operating on another channel. ·
False or fraudulent distress calls are prohibited under law.
D Privacy
· Information overheard but not intended for you cannot lawfully be used in
any way. · Indecent or profane language is prohibited.
D Radio licenses
(1) SHIP STATION LICENSE You must have a current radio station license before
using the transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship station which is not
licensed. Inquire through your dealer or the appropriate government agency for
a ShipRadiotelephone license application. This government-issued license
states the call sign which is your craft’s identification for radio purposes.
(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSE A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the
license most often held by small vessel radio operators when a radio is not
required for safety purposes.
The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must be posted or kept with the
operator. Only a licensed radio operator may operate a transceiver.
However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a transceiver if a licensed
operator starts, supervises, ends the call and makes the necessary log
entries.
A current copy of the applicable government rules and regulations is only
required to be on hand for vessels in which a radio telephone is compulsory.
However, even if you are not required to have these on hand it is your
responsibility to be thoroughly acquainted with all pertinent rules and
regulations.
NOTE For the UK version: Even though the IC-M510BB is capable of operation on
VHF marine channels 1021, 1023, 1081, 1082 and 1083, according to FCC
regulations these simplex channels cannot be lawfully used by the general
population in USA waters.

About AIS
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is primarily used for collision-risk
management and navigation safety. It can automatically transmit and receive
vessel information, such as the vessel name, MMSI code, vessel type, position
data, speed, course, destination, and more, depending on the class.
Information is exchanged among vessels and/or base stations on the VHF
maritime mobile band. The information helps to identify other nearby vessels
or stations by displaying the received data on a plotter or a radar screen.
Other vessel (Class B AIS)

Vessel Information
Base Station
Your vessel
AIS classes
There are 7 types of AIS stations, vessels, base stations, Search and Rescue
(SAR), Aids to Navigation (AtoN), Search and Rescue Transmitter (AIS-SART),
Man OverBoard (MOB), and Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon-AIS
(EPIRB-AIS).
There are 2 classes of AIS units, which are installed on vessels, Class A and
Class B.
Under the Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS) convention, all SOLAS vessels, as
described below, are required to install a Class A AIS transponder: · Upwards
of 300 gross tonnage engaged on international voyages. · Passenger vessels,
irrespective of size, engaged on international voyages. · Upwards of 500 gross
tonnage not engaged on international voyages.
A Class B AIS transponder is designed to be interoperability with Class A
units, but not to impact the Class A network. Many commercial vessels, and
some leisure craft, not classified as requiring a Class A unit, choose to
install a Class B unit to avoid accidents at sea.
