ABOUT THIS RADIO 3.1 ABOUT THE VHF MARINE BAND The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with NOAA Weather stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially “Line of sight” Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter.

Explain the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, fire, heart attack, life-threatening injury, etc.). 5. State the kind of assistance your desire (pumps, medical aid, etc.). 6. Report the number of persons aboard and condition of any injured. 7. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel. 8.
FCC ID: K6630613X30 IC: 511B-30613X30 Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some radios automatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or when scanning. 3.5 BRIDGE CHANNELS 13 AND 67 Channel 13 is used at docks, bridges and by vessels maneuvering in port. Messages on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing in restricted waters. Channel 67 is used for navigational traffic between vessels.
FCC ID: K6630613X30 IC: 511B-30613X30 3.7 AUTOMATED RADIO CHECK SERVICE In areas across the country, Sea Tow offers boaters a way to conduct radio checks. To use Sea Tow’s free Automated Radio Check service, simply tune your VHF radio to the appropriate channel for your location and conduct a radio check as you typically would.
FCC ID: K6630613X30 IC: 511B-30613X30 4. GETTING STARTED 4.1 RADIO CARE After using the HX210 in salt water environment is recommended to clean the radio with fresh by rinsing the radio under a sink faucet or by dunking the radio in a bucket of fresh water.

FCC ID: K6630613X30 IC: 511B-30613X30 Exceeding the specified temperature limits; Reversing charge polarity. Use only the proper charger. If this is tampered with or another charger is used, permanent damage may result; Use only a STANDARD HORIZON approved charger. The use of any other charger may cause permanent damage to the battery. Follow charging instructions provided with the chargers.
FCC ID: K6630613X30 IC: 511B-30613X30 NOTE The SAD-23B is only designed for the charging of the HX210’s builtin battery, and is not suitable for other purposes. The SAD-23B may contribute noise to TV and radio reception in the immediate vicinity, so it do not recommend its use adjacent to such device. When carefully maintained, a builtin battery should be useful for about 300 charge/discharge cycles.
