before using the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL — This instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-GM651.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS WORD RWARNING CAUTION NOTE
DEFINITION Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur. Equipment damage may occur. If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER AND MICROPHONE THOROUGHLY WITH FRESH WATER after exposure to water including salt, otherwise, the keys and switch may become inoperable due to salt crystallization.
PRECAUTIONS RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
NEVER connect the transceiver to an external DC power supply directly. The transceiver should be connected to the DC power supply through the PS-250 (input voltage: 10.8 to 31.2 V DC) that is sold by the set with this transceiver. Be sure to not connect with reverse polarity.
NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vessel may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
KEEP the transceiver at least 1 m away from the ship’s navigation compass.
DO NOT use the chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they may damage the transceiver surfaces. If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. BE CAREFUL! The transceiver rear panel will become hot when operating continuously for long periods. Place the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver employs waterproof construction, which correspond to IPX7 of the international standard IEC 60529 (2001). However, once the transceiver have been dropped, waterproofing cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that the case may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, etc. Icom optional equipment is designed for optimal performance when used with this transceiver. We are not responsible for the transceiver being damaged or any accident caused when using non-Icom optional equipment.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with temperatures below –15°C or above +55°C or, in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
INSTALLATION NOTE
If your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels and the Coast Guard by sending a Distress call on Channel 16.
The installation of this equipment should be made in such a manner as to respect the EC recommended electromagnetic field exposure limits (1999/519/EC).
USING CHANNEL 16 DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE
1. “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY.” 2. “THIS IS ...............” (name of vessel). 3. Say your call sign or other indication of the vessel (AND 9-digit DSC ID if you have one). 4. “LOCATED AT ...............” (your position). 5. State the nature of the distress and assistance required. 6. Give any other information which might facilitate the rescue. Or, transmit your Distress call using digital selective calling on Channel 70.
USING DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (Ch 70) DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE
1. W h i l e l i f t i n g u p t h e key c ove r, p u s h a n d h o l d [DISTRESS] for 3 sec. until you hear 3 short beeps change to one long beep. 2. Wait for an acknowledgment on Channel 70 from a coast station.
• After the acknowledgement is received, Channel 16 is automatically selected.
3. Push and hold [PTT], then transmit the appropriate information as listed above. iii
The maximum RF power available from this device is 25 watts. The antenna should be installed as high as possible for maximum efficiency and that this installation height should be at least 5 meters above ground (or accessible) level. In the case where an antenna cannot be installed at a reasonable height, then the transmitter should neither be continuously operated for long periods if any person is within 5 meters of the antenna, nor operated at all if any person is touching the antenna. In all cases any possible risk depends on the transmitter being activated for long periods. (actual recommendation limits are specified as an average of 6 minutes) Normally the transmitter is not active for long periods of time. Some radio licenses will require that a timer circuit automatically cuts the transmitter after 1–2 minutes etc. Similarly some types of transmitter, SSB, CW, AM, etc. have a lower ‘average’ output power and the perceived risk is even lower.
FIRMWARE VERSION NUMBER The firmware version number is displayed in the opening screen as below. The version number is also displayed when MMSI code check screen is selected. (see p. 18) Firmware version number indication (This illustration describes ‘Version 1.000’.)

OPERATING RULES
1
D PRIORITIES
(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSE A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license most often held by small vessel radio operators when a radio is not required for safety purposes.
• You must monitor Channel 16 when you are not operating on another channel.
The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must be posted or kept with the operator. Only a licensed radio operator may operate a transceiver.
• Read all rules and regulations pertaining to priorities and keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and Distress calls take priority over all others.
• False or fraudulent distress signals are prohibited and punishable by law.
D PRIVACY
• Information overheard but not intended for you cannot lawfully be used in any way. • Indecent or profane language is prohibited.
D RADIO LICENSES (1) SHIP STATION LICENSE You must have a current radio station license before using the transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship station which is not licensed. Inquire through your dealer or the appropriate government agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license application. This government-issued license states the call sign which is your craft’s identification for radio purposes.
However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a transceiver if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends the call and makes the necessary log entries. Keep a copy of the current government rules and regulations handy.

n AquaQuake water draining function
This function lights the function display and keys, and it is convenient for a nighttime operation. The backlight brightness can be adjusted as follows.
The AquaQuake water draining function clears water away from the speaker grill. Without this function, water may muffle the sound coming from the speaker. The IC-GM651 emits a low beep tone when this function is activated.
➥ After pushing [F], push [3• DIM ] then rotate [SELECTOR] to adjust the brightness of the display and key backlight. Then push [ENT].

BACKLIGHT 7 PLEASURE
✔ For DSC operation When the backlight blinks during DSC operation (receiving a call, [DISTRESS] is pushed and held, etc.), the backlight level 7 (Max.) and OFF (Min.) are repeated alternately regardless of above setting. After the blinking stops, the backlight selects level “4” if the backlight level has been set to OFF or 1 to 3. • If the backlight level is set to 4 to 7, the setting level holds after the blinking stops.
• You should continue to push and hold [H/L] to drain water away from the speaker grill after turning power ON. • “Aqua Quake” is displayed on the LCD when the AquaQuake function activates. • A low beep tone sounds while [H/L] is pushed and held to drain water, regardless of [VOL] control setting. • The transceiver never accepts a key operation while the AquaQuake function is activated. • After releasing [H/L], the transceiver returns to the normal operation condition.
he AquaQuake function should be activated for about 5 T sec. to sufficiently clear water away from the speaker grill.

SCAN OPERATION n Scan types Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a wide frequency range. The transceiver has Priority scan and Normal scan.
Set the TAG channels (scanned channel) before scanning. Clear the TAG for unwanted channels which inconveniently stop scanning, such as those for digital communication use.
