1 GENERAL INFORMATION The STANDARD HORIZON EXPLOPER GPS GX1700 Marine VHF/FM Marine transceiver is capable of ITU-R 493-13 DSC (Digital Selective Calling) Class D operation with a 12 channel internal GPS. Class D operation allows continuous receiving of Digital Selective Calling functions on channel 70 even if the radio is receiving a call. The GX1700 VHF operates on all currently-allocated marine channels which are switchable for USA, International, or Canadian regulations.
4 ON-LINE WARRANTY REGISTRATION (in USA or Canada only) Please visit www.standardhorizon.com to register the GX1700 Marine VHF. It should be noted that visiting the Web site from time to time may be beneficial to you, as new products are released they will appear on the STANDARD HORIZON Web site.
5 GETTING STARTED 5.1 PROHIBITED COMMUNICATIONS 5.2 ABOUT VHF RADIO 5.3 SELECTING AN ANTENNA The FCC prohibits the following communications: • False distress or emergency messages: • Messages to “any boat” except in emergencies and radio tests; • Messages to or from a vessel on land; • Transmission while on land; • Obscene, indecent, or profane language (potential fine of $10,000).
5.3.1 Coaxial Cable VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable – a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by it’s diameter and construction. For runs less than 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4 inch in diameter is a good choice. For runs over 20 feet but less than 50 feet, the larger RG-8X or RG213/U should be used for cable runs over 50 feet RG-8X should be used. For installation of the connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure below.
7. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel. 8. Give your vessel’s description: length, design (power or sail), color and other distinguishing marks. The total transmission should not exceed 1 minute. 9. End the message by saying “OVER”. Release the microphone button and listen. 10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no response, try another channel.
the PTT button on the mic. Then switch to the new channel. When the new channel is not busy, call the other vessel. After a transmission, say “over,” and release the microphone’s push-to-talk (PTT) switch. When all communication with the other vessel is completed, end the last transmission by stating your Call Sign and the word “out.” Note that it is not necessary to state your Call Sign with each transmission, only at the beginning and end of the contact.

6 INSTALLATION 6.1 SAFETY / WARNING INFORMATION This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where the radio operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure conditions of its passengers and bystanders by maintaining the minimum separation distance of 0.89 m (2.92 feet). Failure to observe these restrictions will result in exceeding the FCC RF exposure limits. Antenna Installation: The antenna must be located at least 0.
Desktop Mounting Overhead Mounting 6.3.2 Optional MMB-97 Flush Mount Bracket A GPS receiver and antenna is located in the front panel of the GX1700. In many cases the radio may be flush mounted, however before cutting holes to flush mount the radio it is recommended to temporarily connect the radio to power and turn on in the location where it will be flush mounted to confirm it is able to receive a GPS location on it’s display.
6.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS CAUTION Reverse polarity battery connections will damage the radio! Connect the power cord and antenna to the radio. Antenna and Power Supply connections are as follows: 1. Mount the antenna at least 3 feet (1 m) away from the radio. At the rear of the radio, connect the antenna cable. The antenna cable must have a PL259 connector attached. RG-8/U coaxial cable must be used if the antenna is 25 feet (7.6 m) or more from the radio.

9 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING 9.1 GENERAL WARNING This radio is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and safety call to facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety device, this equipment must be used only within communication range of a shore-based VHF marine channel 70 distress and safety watch system. The range of signal may vary but under normal conditions should be approximately 20 nautical miles.
How can I obtain an MMSI assignment? In the USA, visit the following websites to register: http://www.boatus.com/mmsi/ or http://seatow.com/boating_safety/mmsi.asp In the Canada, visit http://www.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/smt-gst.nsf/en/sf01032e.html or http://www.usps.org/php/mmsi/rules.php 9.2.2 Programming the MMSI WARNING A user MMSI can be inputted only once. Therefore please be careful not to input the incorrect MMSI number.
NOTE To view your MMSI after programming to ensure it is correct, perform steps 1~3. Look that the MMSI number shown on the display is correct. 9.3 DSC DISTRESS ALERT The GX1700 is capable of transmitting and receiving DSC Distress messages with your vessels position. 9.3.1 Transmitting a DSC Distress Alert NOTE For the GX1700 to be able to transmit a DSC DIstress call with your ships location, the internal GPS must be able to receive a fix or a optional GPS Antenna/Chart Plotter must be connected.

9.4 ALL SHIPS CALL The All Ships Call function allows contact to be established with DSC equipped vessels without having their MMSI in the individual calling directory. Also, priority for the call can be designated as Urgency or Safety. URGENCY Call: This type of call is used when a vessel may not truly be in distress, but have a potential problem that may lead to a distress situation. This call is the same as saying PAN PAN PAN on channel 16.
9.4.2 Receiving an All Ships Call Received All Ships 1. When an all ships call is received, an emergency Name:Horizon ID:123456789 alarm will sound.

Then requested position coordinates are transmitted automatically to the vessel requesting your vessels position. 2.
9.9 POSITION REPORT The feature is similar to Position Request, however instead of requesting a position of another vessel this function allows you to send your position to another vessel. Your vessel must mark the internal GPS receiver for the GX1700 to send the position. NOTE To transmit a Position Report Call, a GPS must be connected to the radio and the GX1700 Individual directory must be programmed with stations you wish to send your position to.
