NOTICE

This device is only and aid to navigation. Its performance can be affected by many

factors including equipment failure or defects, environmental conditions, and

improper handling or use. It is the user’s responsibility to exercise common

prudence and navigational judgment, and this device should not be relied upon as a

substitute for such prudence and judgment. Your MT-700 VHF radio generates and

radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME). This equipment must

be installed and operated in accordance with the instructions contained in this

handbook. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or product

malfunction.

Antenna Mounting and EME Exposure

For optimal radio performance and minimal human exposure to radio frequency

electromagnetic energy, make sure the antenna is:

•Connected to the radio before transmitting

•Properly mounted

•Located where it will be away from people

•Located at least three feet (91 cm) from the Base Station transceiver and handsets.

1.GENERALINFORMATION

Congratulations on your purchase of the MT-700. It is an advanced marine VHF

communication transceiver offering Digital Selective Calling, a separate Channel 70

receiver, an easy to use four line LCD display, PA Hail/Fog Horn functions, and

optional Remote Mic capability.

NOTICE

Unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment may void compliance with

Regulatory Agency Type Acceptance. Any changes or modification must be

approved in writing by the manufacturer.

NOTICE

This radio transceiver has been tested and complies with EN-301 025-1 v1.3.1

(February 2007). This specification provides reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a normal installation. This radio generates, uses and radiates radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,

may cause harmful interference to other marine electronic equipment. However,

there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this

radio does cause harmful interference to marine electronic equipment, which can be

determined by turning this radio Off and On, the user is encouraged to try to correct

the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the antenna.

•Increase separation between this radio and other marine electronic equipment.

•Connect this radio to a power source different from that of other marine

electronic equipment.

•Consult your dealer or an experienced technician for help.

Introduction

Your MT-700 VHF Transceiver is designed for operation in the marine VHF FM

frequency band. The operating frequency range is 156.025 to 162.000 MHz which

includes all currently allocated International channels.

The transceiver has Digital Selective Calling (DSC) capabilities conforming to EN-301

025-1 v1.3.1 operation. Distress, All Ships, Individual and Group DSC call formats

are supported. There are thirty two memories for storing incoming DSC calls and

thirty two for your personal DSC call directory.

Also transceiver has the built-in PA Hail/Fog Horn features, and full remote control

MT-700 7

capability including Intercom operation with optional MT-RM01 Remote Mic.

Other features include Position Send/Request, all channels scanning, priority channel

scanning, memory channel scanning, one button instant access to channel 16 and an

alphanumeric keypad on the microphone.

2.LISENCEINFORMATION

Your MT-700 complies with European Standard EN-301 025-1 v1.3.1. Users must

know and comply with all applicable rules and regulations for the country or

countries having jurisdiction over waters where your transceiver is operated.

Depending upon national regulations, a station license may be required for a VHF

transceiver and an operator license or permit may be required for an individual to

operate a VHF transceiver.

Prior to using your MT-700 inquire with your national radio communication

authorities.

2.1 Digital Selective Calling (DSC) Capability

You must obtain a nine-digit maritime mobile service identity (MMSI) and program it

into the unit before you transmit. To obtain an MMSI, you will be asked to provide

certain information about your ship. It is important that you obtain an MMSI

because National Coast Guards and other search and rescue (SAR) agencies use this

information to help speed search and rescue operations.

2.2 Required License Information

The following information pertaining to your transceiver is necessary if completing a

station license application

Output Power........................................................................... 1 Watt (low) and 25 Watts (high)

Emission .............................................................................................................16K0F3E, 16K0G3E

Frequency Range......................................................................................156.025 to 162.000 MHz

Meets Essential Requirements of RTTE DIRECTIVE (Declaration of Conformity)

2.3 Equipment Required

The minimum equipment required for two way voice and DSC VHF radio

communication with vessels and shore stations includes:

•VHF radio communication transmitter and receiver designed and approved for

marine VHF communication use.

8 MT-700

•VHF antenna and connecting cable. Use a good quality unity gain antenna for

best range performance.

•Power source suitable for the VHF transmitter and receiver.

•For PA Hail and Fog Horn features to function, connection to an extra PA

Speaker (30W nominal at 13.6V/4Ohm).

•For Digital Selective Calling (DSC) VHF communication radios, connection to a

GPS receiver that provides latitude and longitude coordinates and UTC time for

distress messages.

2.4 Equipment Supplied

•MT-700 Marine VHF Transceiver.

•Microphone with alphanumeric keypad.

•Mounting Bracket with knobs.

•Power Cable with in-line fuse (6.3 Amp).

•NMEA Data Cable.

•FM-03 Flush Mount Kit.

2.5 Optional Equipment

•MT-RM01 Remote Mic.

3. BASIC RADIO COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE

Distress or emergency calls may be made either manually or automatically. Sending

distress calls automatically uses the Digital Selective Calling (DSC) functions of your

transceiver and requires an operating and properly connected navigation receiver.

The following procedures are for sending voice distress messages manually.

Sending an automatic distress call is described in the DSC section of this manual.

3.1 Using Channel 16

Channel 16 is the Calling and Distress channel. An emergency may be defined as a

situation that threatens human life or property. In such situations, make sure your

transceiver is turned On and set the channel selector to Channel 16. Then use the

following procedure to make a distress call. The total transmission should not exceed

1 minute.

1. Press the microphone Push To Talk button. Speak slowly and clearly into

the microphone: “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, this is your vessel’s name,

your vessel’s name, your vessel’s name”.

2. Then repeat once: “Mayday, your vessel’s name”.

3. Continue by reporting your position in latitude and longitude or by

reporting your bearing (true or magnetic, specify which) and distance from

a prominent or well known landmark, geographic feature or aid to

navigation.

4. Explain the nature of your emergency (fire, sinking, collision, grounding,

health condition, injury, etc.).

5. Report the kind of assistance you require (fire, medical aid, pumps, etc.).

6. State the number of people aboard and the condition of any injured.

7. Estimate the seaworthiness and condition of your vessel.

8. Describe your vessel: length, type, color and any distinguishing feature.

9. End the message by saying “Over”. Release the Push To Talk button and

listen for a reply.

10. If there is no reply, repeat the above message procedure. If there is still no

response, try another channel.
