Introduction : Congratulations on your purchase of an Eagle EVR-100 marine band VHF radio. Designed for international operation, allows you to transmit and receive on all international channels in the VHF marine band, as assigned by the International Union (ITU). The EVR-100 is approved with commercial-grade standards to give you clear, reliable communication. NOTE: According to WEEE regulations, the user should not dispose the product when damaged, but rather send it back to Eagle for disposal.
Installation: This Eagle radio allows you to make a maritime distress call to facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety device, this radio must be used only within the geographic range of a shore-based VHF marine Channel 16 distress and safety watch system. The geographic range may vary but under normal conditions is approximately 20 nautical miles. Installation Options There are two ways to install the radio. You can choose: • a deck or overhead mounted gimbal installation.
Checklist The following items should be supplied in the box. Check before starting the installation and contact your dealer if an item is missing. NOTE: An antenna is NOT provided. Consult your Eagle dealer for advice if necessary. 1. 2. Mounting gimbal for the VHF radio Power supply cable with inbuilt 3 Amp fuse 3. External speaker connection cable with white (+) wire and black (-) wire 4. Two mounting knobs 5. Microphone bulkhead mount 6. Four self-tapping screws for the mounting gimbal 7.
Gimbal Installation 1. Hold the mounting gimbal at the chosen location and use a soft pencil to mark the screw hole positions onto the mounting surface. 2. If you can’t reach behind the mounting surface to attach the nuts, use the self-tapping screws instead of the flat screws shown in the picture. If you’re drilling into fiberglass, use a drill bit smaller than 3/16” (5mm) to drill the pilot holes. Otherwise, drill the four screw holes where marked, using a 3/16” (5mm) drill bit.
5. Use the two short M5x10 screws to screw the mounting brackets to the sides of the radio. 6. Screw each M5x32 screw through the screw hole in the mounting bracket, then attach the stopper. If your bulkhead exceeds 0.51” (13mm), the stopper can be discarded if necessary. 7. Tighten the M5x32 screws until the radio is held firmly against the rear of the bulkhead.
Connect the Radio Cables The connectors are on the rear of the base unit, as follows: 1. External Speaker connector. Plug the external speaker cable jack into the connector BEFORE powering on the radio. Use a 4 Ohm 4 Watt external speaker. 2. RED Power wire. Connect this to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal. Check that a 3 Amp fuse is installed on this power cable close to the battery. 3. BLACK Power wire. Connect this to the NEGATIVE (-) battery terminal. 4. ANT. A radio antenna is not supplied.

Basic Operation and Key Functions Key VOL/PWR SQL 16/9 WX UIC 3CH +/- 12 Function Volume and Power. Turn clockwise to power on. Continue to turn until a comfortable volume is reached. VOL/PWR will also adjust the settings of an external speaker, if connected Squelch or Threshold Level. Sets the threshold level for the minimum receiver signal. Turn fully counterclockwise until random noise is heard, then turn slowly clockwise until the random noise disappears.
SCAN + CH - SKIP H/L PTT To scan only one of your favourite channels, press 3CH then immediately press and release SCAN. If you want to scan all three favourite channels, press 3CH then immediately press and hold SCAN. To add a favourite channel for the first time, select that channel then hold 3CH to store it in the CH1 location. Repeat the procedure to store two more favourite channels in the CH2 and CH3 locations respectively.
Radio Operation Turning Your Radio On/Off Rotate VOL/PWR knob to turn the radio on or off. Rotate to adjust the volume to a comfortable level. Adjusting Squelch Squelch is used to eliminate static and background noise and allows for silent operation of your radio until a transmission is received. If the squelch is too high, only the strongest transmissions can be heard, and when too low, intermittent static and noise are heard. To set Squelch: 1. Turn SQL knob fully counter-clockwise.
Scanning Features Your radio is equipped with 2 types of scan options: All Scan, 3CH Scan (Favourite Channel Scan). If there are no channels added as favourite channels, the default is All Scan. This function automatically searches for transmissions on the channel being scanned. If a signal is received, the scan stops on the receiving channel as long as it is present and the SCAN indicator flashes. If the signal is lost for 3 seconds, the radio resumes scanning.
NOAA Weather Channels To receive a NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) weather channel, press the WX key. The transceiver will go to the last selected weather channel. Press the + CH - keys to scroll through the available WX channels. To exit from the NOAA weather channels, press the WX key to terminate WX mode and return to the previous working channel, or press 16/9 to access the priority channels.

Appendix B - Troubleshooting 1. The transceiver will not power up. A fuse may have blown OR there is no voltage getting to the transceiver. a) Check the power cable for cuts, breaks, or squashed sections. b) After checking the wiring, replace the 3 Amp fuse (1 spare fuse is supplied). c) Check the battery voltage. This must be greater than 10.5V. 2. The transceiver blows the fuse when the power is switched on. The power wires may have been reversed.
