■ Installation note
Installation:
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)
The maximum RF power available from this device is 2 watts. The antenna should be
installed as high as possible for maximum efficiency and the installation height should be
at least 0.4 meters above any accessible position. 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 a distance of 0.4 meters of the antenna,
nor operated at all if any person is touching the antenna.
It is recommended that antenna of a maximum gain of 3 dB is used. If higher gain
antenna is required then please contact your Icom distributor for revised installation
recommendations.
Operation:
The exposure to RF electromagnetic field is only applicable when this device is
transmitting. This exposure is naturally reduced due to the nature of alternating periods of
receiving and transmitting. Keep your transmissions to the minimum necessary.
■ About CE and DOC
Hereby, Icom Inc. declares
that the versions of
MA-510TR which have the
“CE” symbol on the product,
comply with the essential requirements of
the Radio Equipment Directive, 2014/53/
EU, and the restriction of the use of certain
hazardous substances in electrical and
electronic equipment Directive, 2011/65/
EU. The full text of the EU declaration of
conformity is available at the following
internet address:
http://www.icom.co.jp/world/support
■ Disposal
The crossed-out wheeled-
bin symbol on your product,
literature, or packaging
reminds you that in the
European Union, all electrical
and electronic products,
batteries, and accumulators
(rechargeable batteries) must be taken
to designated collection locations at the
end of their working life. Do not dispose
of these products as unsorted municipal
waste. Dispose of them according to the
laws in your area.
■ Radio operation warning
Icom requires the radio operator to meet the FCC Requirements for Radio
Frequency Exposure. An omnidirectional antenna with gain not greater
than 9 dBi must be mounted a minimum of 5 meters (measured from the
lowest point of the antenna) vertically above the main deck and all possible
personnel. This is the minimum safe separation distance estimated to meet
all RF exposure compliance requirements. This 5 meter distance is based
on the FCC Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) distance of 3 meters added to
the height of an adult (2 meters) and is appropriate for all vessels.
For watercraft without suitable structures, the antenna must be mounted so as to maintain
a minimum of 1 meter vertically between the antenna, (measured from the lowest point
of the antenna), to the heads of all persons AND all persons must stay outside of the 3
meter MPE radius.
Do not transmit with radio and antenna when persons are within the MPE radius of
the antenna, unless such persons (such as driver or radio operator) are shielded from
antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance
from the antenna axis that person should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher
than the allowable MPE level set by FCC.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW THOSE WITHIN THE MPE
RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF RADIATION ABSORPTION WHICH EXCEEDS THE
FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RADIO OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE
MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES
DURING RADIO TRANSMISSION. THE RADIO OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT
NO BYSTANDERS COME WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE
EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Determining MPE Radius
THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) RADIUS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED
TO BE A RADIUS OF ABOUT 3M PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE FCC.
THIS ESTIMATE IS MADE ASSUMING THE MAXIMUM POWER OF THE RADIO AND
ANTENNAS WITH A MAXIMUM GAIN OF 9dBi ARE USED FOR A SHIP MOUNTED
SYSTEM.
WARNING
■ Avertissement pour les opérateurs radio
Icom exige que l’opérateur radio se conforme aux exigences de la
FCC en matière d’exposition aux radiofréquences. Une antenne
omnidirectionnelle dont le gain ne dépasse pas 9dBi doit être fixée à
une distance minimale de 5 mètres (mesurée depuis le point le plus
bas de l’antenne) verticalement au-dessus du pont principal et de tout
le personnel qui peut s’y trouver. Il s’agit de la distance de sécurité
minimale prévue pour satisfaire aux exigences de conformité en matière d’exposition
aux RF. Cette distance de 5 mètres est établie en fonction de l’exposition maximale
admissible sécuritaire de 3 mètres établie par la FCC, à laquelle on ajoute la hauteur d’un
adulte (2 mètres); cette distance convient pour tous les navires.
Dans le cas des embarcations sans structure convenable, l’antenne doit être fixée de
façon à maintenir une distance minimale de 1 mètre verticalement entre cette antenne
(mesurée depuis son point le plus bas) et la tête de toute personne présente; toutes
les personnes présentes doivent se tenir à l’extérieur d’un rayon d’exposition maximale
admissible de 3 mètres.
Ne pas émettre à l’aide de la radio et de l’antenne lorsque des personnes se trouvent à
l’intérieur du rayon d’exposition maximale admissible de cette antenne, à moins que ces
personnes (comme le conducteur ou l’opérateur radio) ne soient protégées du champ
de l’antenne par un écran métallique relié à la masse. Le rayon d’exposition maximale
admissible équivaut à la distance minimale que cette personne doit maintenir entre elle
et l’axe de l’antenne pour éviter une exposition aux RF supérieure au niveau d’exposition
maximale admissible fixé par la FCC.
LE NON-RESPECT DE CES LIMITES PEUT CAUSER, POUR LES PERSONNES
SITUÉES DANS LE RAYON D’EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE, UNE
ABSORPTION DE RAYONNEMENT DE RF SUPÉRIEURE À L’EXPOSITION
MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE FIXÉE PAR LA FCC.
L’OPÉRATEUR RADIO EST RESPONSABLE D’ASSURER QUE LES LIMITES
D’EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE SOIENT RESPECTÉES EN TOUT TEMPS
PENDANT LA TRANSMISSION RADIO. L’OPÉRATEUR RADIO DOIT S’ASSURER
QU’AUCUNE PERSONNE PRÉSENTE NE SE SITUE À L’INTÉRIEUR DU RAYON
D’EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE.
Établir le rayon d’exposition maximale admissible
ON ESTIME QUE LE RAYON D’EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE EST
D’ENVIRON 3 M, TEL QUE STIPULÉ DANS LE BULLETIN OET 65 DE LA FCC.
CETTE DISTANCE ESTIMÉE TIENT COMPTE D’UN SYSTÈME INSTALLÉ SUR UN
NAVIRE UTILISANT LA PUISSANCE MAXIMALE DE LA RADIO ET DES ANTENNES
DONT LE GAIN MAXIMAL EST DE 9dBi.

■ About AIS
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is primarily used for collision-risk management
and navigation safety. It may automatically transmit and receive vessel information, such
as the vessel name, MMSI code, vessel type, position data, speed, course, destination,
and more, depending on the class. Information is exchanged among vessels and/or base
stations on the VHF maritime mobile band. The information helps to identify other nearby
vessels or stations by displaying the received data on a plotter or a radar screen.

■ AIS classes
There are 7 types of AIS stations, vessels, base stations, Search and Rescue (SAR),
Aids to Navigation (AtoN), Search and Rescue Transmitter (AIS-SART), Man OverBoard
(MOB), and Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon-AIS (EPIRB-AIS).
There are 2 classes of AIS units, which are installed on vessels, Class A and Class B.
Under the Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS) convention, all SOLAS vessels are required to
install a Class A AIS transponder:
A Class B AIS transponder is designed to be interoperability with Class A units, but not to
impact the Class A network.
Many commercial vessels, and some leisure craft, not classified as requiring a Class A
unit, choose to install a Class B unit to avoid accidents at sea.

of a vessel that is at anchor or drifting
is unreliable, and therefore the CPA
and TCPA data may not be calculated
correctly. If a vessel is anchored in your
alarm zone, the unreliable data can
cause the collision alarm to sound many
times, even if there is no real danger.
To prevent this, when the anchored
vessel’s SOG is less than this set value,
the Slow Warn function assumes that
vessel’s COG is fixed towards your
vessel and an alarm will sound.
• Function
Turn the Slow warn function ON or OFF.
ON:
The Slow warn function is turned
ON.
OFF: The Slow warn function is turned
OFF.
• Speed
Set a speed for the Slow warn function
between 0.1 and 4.9 kn (in 0.1 kn
steps), or between 0.2 and 9.1 km (in
0.1 km steps).
NOTE: If other vessels at anchor or
drifting come into your alarm zone,
the Slow warn alarm will sound again.
Only if the previous vessel disappears
from the Danger list (p. 17), and
then re-enters the list, can a new
Slow warn or regular alarm sound,
depending on the vessel’s SOG,
or CPA and TCPA. The Slow warn
function operates in the same way
if your vessel is at anchor and other
vessels enter your alarm zone.

■ Individual DSC call
(Possible only when a transceiver is connected.)
When a transceiver is connected to the transponder, you can transmit an Individual
DSC call without entering the vessel’s MMSI code, by simply selecting its AIS target and
the voice channel on the transponder. The transceiver will use the transponder’s data
information and make the DSC call on channel 70, and then wait for the target vessel to
acknowledge it. After receiving the acknowledgment ‘Able to comply,’ use the transceiver
to communicate with the target vessel on the predetermined voice channel.
L The following transceivers can operate with this function. (As of November 2019)
IC-M605/IC-M605EURO/IC-M506/IC-M506GE/IC-M424G/IC-M400BB/
IC-M330/IC-M330GE/IC-M330G/IC-M220
L See page 42 for connecting to the transceiver.
NOTE: The data communication speed (baud rate) of NMEA1 must be set to 4800 bps
to send an Individual DSC call using the transponder.

Push [▲] or [▼] to select a voice channel.
• Voice channels are already preset into the transponder
in the recommended order.
NOTE: When a base station is selected in step 1, a
voice channel will be specified by the base station.
Therefore you cannot change the channel. The
transponder will display “Voice Channel is specified
by the Base station,” in this case.
5.
Push [ENT] to make the Individual DSC call.
• “Transmitting individual call” is displayed.
L If Channel 70 is busy, the transceiver stands by until
the channel becomes clear.
6.
After making the Individual DSC call, “DSC
transmission completed.” is displayed.
• If the transceiver cannot make the call, “DSC
transmission failed.” is displayed.
7.
Push [CLR] to return to the Main screen.
8.
After receiving the acknowledgment from the AIS
target, use the transceiver to communicate. See the
transceiver’s manual for details.

D Attention
About calculating position
The GPS antenna acquires signals from GPS satellites. It calculates its position by the
orbit information of the GPS satellites and needs to measure the distance between itself
and three or more GPS satellites to obtain a reliable position. The GPS antenna acquires
all available satellites when it is powered up. Normally, it takes approximately 1 minute to
determine a position.
In places where the GPS signals cannot reach the GPS antenna, it may show position
errors (misplacement) or no position reading at all.
As the satellites are continuously moving, measurement of the position or time by
the GPS antenna may take a while, and/or no position reading can be made in some
instances. Even if the GPS antenna acquires signals from three or more GPS satellites, it
may take a longer time to determine a position depending on the satellite locations.
Location precision
The GPS device automatically calculates its position when it acquires signals from three
or more GPS satellites.
The position error using the GPS is about ±10 meters. However, this can vary up to
several hundred meters, depending on the surrounding environment. The GPS information
and its accuracy varies, depending on the GPS system being acquired, place and time.
About NMEA sentences
When the current position data cannot be received due to the GPS signal being blocked
by something, the GPS antenna sends the last memorized NMEA sentence, but the
sentence may include invalid data.
