CALL PROCEDURES 17 /z:m / C Before transmitting, monitor the channel you wish to use to avoid interrupting transmissions in progress. Calls must be properly identified and time limits must be respected. 1} Give your call sign each time you call another vessel or a coast station. If vou have no call sign, identify the station by giving the vessel name and the name of the licensee. 2} Give your call sign at the end of each transmission of more than 3 minutes duration.
PRIORITIES PRIVACY L OGS all the rules and regulations pertaining to priorities and keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and Distress messages take priority over all others. 2} ¥ou must monitor and be able to transmit on channel 16, 3} False or fraudulent distress signals are prohibited and punishable by law. Unnecessary transmissions are not allowed. 1) Information overheard but not intended for you cannot lawfully be used in any way. 2) Indecent or profane language is prohibited.
RADIO LICENSES 1) Ship Station License When your craft is equipped with a VHF/EM transceiver such as the 1C-M8 you must possess a current radio station license before using the equipment. 1t is unlawful to operate a Ship Station which is not licensed. Ask your dealer or the appropriate government agency for a Ship Radiotelephone License application. This license states your craft's call sign.
DEAD SPOTS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ] ‘Topography may prevent receiving and transmitting from some locations, Move to another location if you find a "'dead spot’’, Your ICEMAN is designed to perform well for many years if cared for in 3 proper manner. Each year you should have the following checked by a licensed technician. 1) The antenna system. 2) The transmitter frequency, deviation, and output power.
