Installation This Eagle radio is designed to generate a digital maritime distress call to facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety device, this radio must be used only within the geographic range of a shore-based VHF marine Channel 70 distress and safety watch system. The geographic range may vary but under normal conditions is approximately 20 nautical miles. Installation Options There are two ways to install the radio. You can choose: • a deck or overhead mounted gimbal installation.
Checklist The following items should be supplied in the box. Check before starting the installation and contact your dealer if an item is missing. NOTE: An antenna is NOT provided. Consult your Eagle dealer for advice if necessary. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.
Gimbal Installation 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Hold the mounting gimbal at the chosen location and use a soft pencil to mark the screw hole positions onto the mounting surface. If you can’t reach behind the mounting surface to attach the nuts, use the self-tapping screws instead of the flat screws shown in the picture. If you’re drilling into fiberglass, use a drill bit smaller than 3/16” (5mm) to drill the pilot holes. Otherwise, drill the four screw holes where marked, using a 3/16” (5mm) drill bit.
5. 6. 7. Use the two short M5x10 screws to screw the mounting brackets to the sides of the radio. Screw each M5x32 screw through the screw hole in the mounting bracket, then attach the stopper. If your bulkhead exceeds 0.51” (13mm), the stopper can be discarded if necessary. Tighten the M5x32 screws until the radio is held firmly against the rear of the bulkhead. Install the Microphone Bulkhead Mount 4.
Fix the DSC label ! CAUTION A DSC warning label is supplied with the EVR-150. To comply with FCC regulations, this ! WARNING warning label must be affixed in a location that is clearly visible from the operating controls of this Eagle radio. Make sure that the chosen location is clean and dry before DANGER applying this label. Connect the Radio Cables CAUTION The connectors are on the rear of the base unit, as follows: 1. GPS/COM connector. For connection to GPS device via NMEA.

5 . The letter “A” illuminated by the channel number indicates the Canada channel is simplex. This same channel is always duplex when selecting International. There is no “A” reference for International channels. The letter “B” is only used for some Canadian “Receive only” channels. 6 . Channel 70 is designated for use exclusively for Digital Selective Calling (DSC), such as Distress, Safety, and Ship Calls. No voice communication is allowed on CH70. This channel is only available on DSC enabled radios.
