IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
If your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels and the Coast Guard by sending a distress call on Channel 16.

RECOMMENDATION

CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY WITH FRESH WATER after exposure to saltwater, and dry it before operation. Otherwise, the transceiver's keys, switches and controllers may become unusable due to salt crystallization. NOTE: DO NOT wash the transceiver in water if there is any reason to suspect the waterproof protection may not be effective. For example, in cases where the battery pack rubber seal is damaged, the transceiver/battery pack is cracked or broken, or has been dropped, or when the battery pack is detached from the transceiver.
USING CHANNEL 16 DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE
1. MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY. 2. THIS IS (name of vessel)
3. Your call sign or other indication of the vessel. 4. LOCATED AT (your position) 5. The nature of the distress and assistance required. 6. Any other information which might facilitate the rescue.

FOREWORD

Thank you for purchasing this Icom radio. The IC-M35 VHF MARINE TRANSCEIVER is designed and built with Icoms state of the art technology and craftsmanship. With proper care this radio should provide you with years of trouble-free operation.

FEATURES

Floating on water
The transceiver floats on fresh or salt water even when the supplied accessories are attached.

KEEP the transceiver out of the reach of children. KEEP the transceiver at least 0.9 meters away from your
vessels magnetic navigation compass.
MAKE SURE the exible antenna and battery pack are securely attached to the transceiver, and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to water will result in serious damage to the transceiver. After exposure to water, clean the battery contacts thoroughly with fresh water and dry them completely to remove any water or salt residue.
BE CAREFUL! The transceivers right-side panel will become hot when operating continuously for long periods.

WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits an abnormal odour, heats up, or is discoloured or deformed. If any of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or distributor. WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of the body that comes into contact with uid from inside the battery. WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could cause overheating, a re, or cause the battery to rupture. CAUTION! Always use the battery within the specific temperature range for the transceiver (15C to +55C) and the battery itself (20C to +60C). Using the battery out of its specic temperature range will reduce the batterys performance and battery life. CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above +50C) for an extended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the radio after discharging. You may use the battery until the remaining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the temperature range as below; 20C to +50C 20C to +35C 20C to +20C 22 (within a month) (within three months) (within a year)

Supplied battery charger

Do not charge batteries other than the BP-252. q Attach the BC-173 to a at surface, such as a desk, if desired. w Connect the AC adapter as shown below. e Insert the battery pack with/without the transceiver into the charger.
The charge indicator lights orange. The charge indicator blinks orange (or orange/green alternately) when the protector is activated.

Optional battery case

When you would like to use the optional AAA(LR03) size battery case (BP-251), install the batteries as illustrated below. Be sure to observe the correct polarity. CAUTION: When installing batteries, make sure they are all the same brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and old batteries together. Keep battery contacts clean. Its a good idea to clean battery terminals once a week. When using the optional battery case, output power level is 2 W at high. (Depends on the pre-setting for German version.) NOTE: The transceiver can sink when the optional battery case is attached. (Depends on the weight of the installed batteries.)
r Charge the battery pack approx. 10 hours, depending on the remaining power condition.

Attachment

Turn power OFF before attaching the speaker-microphone. Then, insert the speaker-mic connector into the [SP MIC] connector and carefully screw it tight, as shown below. Be careful not to cross-thread the connection. IMPORTANT: KEEP the transceivers [SP MIC] cap attached when the speaker-microphone is not in use. If the cover is not attached, water will get into the transceiver. Moreover, the terminals (pins) will become rusty, or the transceiver will function abnormally if the connector gets wet. CAUTION: Attach the speaker-microphones connector securely to prevent accidental loss, or water intrusion in the connector.
Detaching: Rotate the [SP MIC] cap counterclockwise (q), then detach it (w). w q
NEVER immerse the connector in water. If the connector gets wet, be sure to dry it BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver. NOTE: The microphone is located at the top of the speaker-microphone, as shown above. To maximize the readability of your transmitted signal (voice), hold the microphone approx. 5 to 10 cm from your mouth, and speak in a normal voice level. NOTE: When the speaker-microphone is connected to the transceiver, the noise cancellation does not work.
Attaching: Attach the [SP MIC] cap (q), then rotate it clockwise completely (w). q w

VHF MARINE TRANSCEIVER

(Clear Voice + Voice Boost)
In marine environments there are many sources of noise that can affect the quality of your communication, such as engine noise, roar of waves and more. The IC-M35 constantly transmits clear voice and provides boosted audio even in those circumstances and ensures your conversation is sent and received as clearly as possible no matter how noisy the background is!

And yes, it floats too!

Continuing the legacy from the IC-M33, the IC-M35 floats for you to be able to retrieve it if you should ever lose it overboard. The IC-M35 floats even when the optional speaker microphone, HM-165 is attached.

LOUD button

When you need an instant boost in the volume, a simple push of the LOUD button gives you full volume immediately. In addition, holding the LOUD button mutes the audio output.
Automatic volume adjustment
When in an engine room or high noise environment, the sub-microphone detects the ambient noise and the IC-M35 automatically increases the volume output to suit the surrounding environment.
Large buttons and slim dimensions
Thanks to the large, easy-to-operate buttons, the IC-M35 provides intuitive operation. A pinched-waist slender body makes it easy to hold and carry the radio, and is surprisingly compact for a oating radio.
Noise cancelling microphone
The sub-microphone on the rear panel inverts phase and cancels out ambient noise from the main microphone. As a result, the IC-M35 reduces the affect of background noise (particularly trebly noise) from the transmitted signal and makes it easier to catch voice communication.

Low power consumption

Although the IC-M35 delivers a high 6W*1 RF output and 700mW audio output, its current saving circuit offers a practical 8 hours*2 of operating time with the supplied 980mAh Lithium-Ion battery pack.
