1. GENERAL INFORMATION 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.
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. LISENCE INFORMATION Your MT-700 complies with European Standard EN-301 025-1 v1.3.1.
• 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.
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.
3.2 Calling Another Vessel Channel 16 may be used to establish initial contact with another vessel. However, its most important use is for voice emergency messages. Channel 16 must be monitored at all times except when engaged in actual communication on another channel. Channel 16 is monitored by international search and rescue (SAR) authorities, National Coast Guards and by other vessels. Use of Channel 16 for calling or hailing must be limited to initial contact only.
normal radio communication procedures. You should say ”over” and release the Both parties cannot speak PTT button at the end of each transmission. simultaneously as on normal telephone calls. Usually there is a fee for marine operator services which is charged in addition to any other charges associated with the call. 3.4 Prohibited Communication The following communications are prohibited by regulations and violators are subject to penalties.
4. INSTALLATION 4.1 Transceiver Your MT-700 Transceiver is designed to withstand the rigors of the marine environment. However, selecting a mounting location affording some protection from the elements will prolong the life of connectors, controls and the liquid crystal display (LCD). Select a location within easy reach and view of the operator and away from your vessel’s compass. Locate the microphone to avoid entanglement with steering or engine controls, both when in use and when stowed.
FM-03 Flush Mount Kit Installation 1. Cut the dash board using a template sheet. 2. Set the transceiver in the cut dash board. 3. Rotating the longer screw and set it to the each hole of the plastic mount block. Firmly attach the bolt foot rotating to the top of the each screw. (See Fig. 1) 4. Firmly fix the plastic mount block on the either side of the transceiver using shorter screw. Don’t forget to attach the washer. (See Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) 5.
4.3 Cable Connections Brown Red Orange Shield (Black) NMEA Data Cable Power Cable Black Black Red Red Antenna White Black PA Speaker Connection Wire MT-700 Rear Panel Connections Power Connection CAUTION Reverse polarity connections can damage your transceiver The power cable for your transceiver must be connected to the ships main power buss. Use the 6.3 Amp in-line fuse provided. Connect the Red wire to the positive (+) terminal and the Black wire to the negative (-) terminal.
NMEA Cable In order for the position reporting/transferring features of your MT-700 transceiver to function, an operating GPS navigation receiver must be connected to your transceiver. The supplied data cable plugs into the 8 pin connector on the transceiver’s rear panel and the other end connects to the NMEA data output/input from your GPS navigation receiver. Your GPS must adapt for the $GPRMC/GGA NMEA data sentence.
Optional MT-RM01 Remote Mic Connection In order for full remote control to function, optional MT-RM01 Remote Mic must be connected to your transceiver using the supplied 10m Extension Cable. Connect the 10m Extension Cable to the Remote Mic Connector on the transceiver’s rear panel, and then tighten the cable nut. You can also connect an External Speaker to the MT-RM01 Remote Mic.
5. OPERATION 5.1 General Your MT-700 is an advanced marine VHF communication transceiver offering the safety and convenience of Digital Selective Calling in addition to all the useful features found in the best conventional VHF radios. 5.2 Display and Controls The transceiver is operated using the front panel controls, the keypad, the Push To Talk (PTT) button and a keypad on the microphone.
5.3 Basic Operation Power On/Off Power to the transceiver is controlled with the PWR/VOL knob. To turn the transceiver On: • Press and hold the PWR/VOL knob.

10.5 Channel Assignments The Channel Assignment tables on the following pages list the channel number, frequency and usage for Marine VHF communication. Depending upon your selection, certain channels may be either simplex (single frequency) or duplex (two frequencies) as indicated in the tables. On simplex channels, your transceiver transmits and receives on the same frequency. On duplex channels, your transceiver transmits on one frequency and receives on another frequency.
