OPERATING REQUIREMENTS

In Australia, any person operating a VHF marine radio should possess at least a Short Range Operators Certificate of
Proficiency (SROCP) for VHF Radio Operations. Alternatively, operators may choose to obtain a Long Range Operator Certificate of Proficiency (LROCP) which covers the operation of both VHF and MF/HF equipment.
Many TAFEs and marine organisations offer courses leading to examination for the SROCP and LROCP although such courses are not compulsory. Persons wishing to obtain the SROCP or LROCP should first purchase a copy of the Marine VHF Radio Operators Handbook which is essential reading for every boat owner in Australia.
The Australian Maritime College (AMC) provides the marine examination and certificate service on behalf of the ACMA.
The AMC can provide the details of organisations and individuals offering courses and or conducting exams. For further information visit: www.amc.edu.au
If you have obtained the SROCP you can operate your VHF radio under the maritime ship class licence. You do not need to apply for a class licence or pay any fees.
If operating your VHF radio under the LRSOP you will need to apply to the AMCA for a Maritime License.
In New Zealand, operators of a VHF marine radio require a Maritime VHF Operators Certificate (MVOC) and a callsign.
Please refer to www.maritimenz.govt.nz for further details.
Courses for the MVOC can be arranged through www.boatingeducation.org.nz.

ATIS

ATIS stands for Automatic Transmitter Identification System.
ATIS is used to identify a ship or vessel that has made a radio transmission. The identity of the vessel is sent digitally each time the radio operator releases the PTT after transmitting.
ATIS is generally used in the inland waterways of Europe and is only available when the International channel set is selected.
The use of ATIS requires a unique 9 digit Maritime Mobile Service Identity or MMSI (note that the ATIS MMSI is completely separate to the MMSI required for the DSC functionality included in DSC compatible radios).
Radio operators in Europe who require the ATIS function should obtain their unique ATIS MMSI from their local Maritime Authority.
IMPORTANT: Once the ATIS ID has been programmed into the radio, the ATIS function is enabled and becomes a permanent part of the radio’s operation. It cannot be cleared, disabled or changed by the user.

Programming the ATIS ID

Switch the radio Off.
Hold the key while switching the radio On to access the ATIS mode.
When the unit switches on, 1 – will be displayed. Here is where you will enter your 9 digit ATIS ID. The 1 indicates that you are about to enter the 1st (left-most) digit of your ATIS ID. The flashing – indicates the empty space where you will enter the digit.
Rotate the multi-function knob to select the first digit of your ID in the – position. For example if the 1st digit of your ID is 3, rotate the multi-function knob until 3 is displayed in the – position. When the correct digit is displayed press the multi-function knob to accept it.
The 1 changes to 2 to indicate you’re now entering the 2nd digit of your ID. Once again rotate the multi-function knob to until the second digit of your ID is displayed then press the multi-function knob. 3 will be displayed and so on.
Continue until all 9 ID digits have been entered.
Once the 9th digit has been entered and the multi-function knob has been pressed you will be asked to re-enter the ID again. This is to ensure the ID you have entered is valid.
Repeat the process above to re-enter all 9 digits.
After entering a valid ID for the second time the ATIS ID will be flashed in sequence on the display. The radio will then revert to normal operation.
To store the ATIS ID permanently, switch off the radio (hold the multi-function knob until the radio switches off).
NOTE: If the second ATIS entry doesn’t match the first, the operation will be cancelled and you will need to start again.
Once the ATIS ID has been permanently stored in the radio, holding the key while switching the radio on will cause the radio to flash its ATIS ID on the display.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

lift the tab on the lower end of the rubber flap located on the right hand side of the radio to expose the USB-C charging socket. Plug the supplied 240V AC Adaptor into the 240V power then use the supplied USB-C charging lead to connect the adaptor to the USB-C socket on the radio.
While the charger is connected the display will show the battery charging state by animating the battery icon in the top right corner of the screen.

Important: When the charging is complete, remove the cable and firmly press the rubber flap into the recess in the case to minimise water ingress and protect the charging and headphone sockets from damage.
Note: The battery is a built-in design and is not user serviceable. If the battery requires replacing, the radio should be returned to GME for service to ensure the waterproof integrity of the radio is maintained.

Inter-ship channels are for communications between ship stations. Inter-ship communications should be restricted to Channels 6, 8, 72 and 77. If these are not available, the other channels marked for Inter-ship may be used.
Channel 70 is used exclusively for Digital Selective Calling (DSC) and is not available for regular voice communications.

Notes:

Channel 06 may also be used for communications between ship stations and aircraft engaged in coordinated search and rescue operations. Ship stations should avoid harmful interference to such communications on channel 06 as well as to communications between aircraft stations, ice breakers and assisted ships during ice seasons.
Within the European Maritime Area and in Canada, channels 10, 67 and 73 may also be used by the individual administrations concerned for communication between ship stations, aircraft stations and participating land stations engaged in coordinated search and rescue and anti-pollution operations in local areas. Channels 10 or 73 (depending on location) are also used for the broadcast of Marine Safety Information by the Maritime and Coast Guard Agency in the UK only.
Channel 13 is designated for use on a worldwide basis as a navigation safety communication channel, primarily for inter-ship navigation safety communications.
Channels 15 and 17 may also be used for on-board communications provided the effective radiated power does not exceed 1 Watt.
The use of Channels 75 and 76 should be restricted to navigation related communication only and all precautions should be taken to avoid harmful interference to channel 16. Transmit power is limited to 1 Watt.
