1. Introduction

The new handheld marine transceiver PACIFIC is able to satisfy communication requirements for
all types of navigation whether professional or hobbyist. PACIFIC is robust, electronically advanced
and enables clear and reliable communications on the VHF nautical band for all international
channels assigned by ITU.
It offers security for all navigational requirements thanks also to a dedicated button that gives
instant access the emergency channel N.16.
PACIFIC, which boasts 57 channels and outputs 5W transmission power, is made up of components
specifically designed for this type of equipment.
PACIFIC is particularly straightforward to use and guarantees best performance in all situations,
thanks also to the keypad lock that prevents accidental pushing of buttons while handling the
device. A LCD back lit display enables its use in darkness or poor visibility.
In short: PACIFIC is easy to use and it offers total security!
Main features:
• PLL (Phase Locked Loop) synthesizer circuit - for precise and stable channel selection.
• Back-lit LCD display - constantly displays radio's parameters and settings. The backlighting
enables you to view the screen when there is little environmental light.
• Automatic squelch - while in standby, this function automatically eliminates bothersome
background noise and reduces the battery drain.
• Recall button for Channel 16 - for instant access to channel 16 (the most used marine channel
mainly used for emergency contact).
• High/low power selection - reduces transmission power in short-distance communication,
allowing the radio to save energy and reducing the risk of interference.
• Keypad lock - locks the transceiver keypad to avoid the accidental activation of buttons or
settings.
• Battery discharged icon - alerts you when the batteries are low.
• Sockets for speaker and microphone - these sockets enable the use of various external
microphone optional accessories (headphone, microphone/speaker, etc), for a more comfortable
use, particularly in noisy environments.
• You can use your marine transceiver either with Ni-MH rechargeable batteries or with non
rechargeable alkaline ones.
• Channel scanning - automatically searches for marine band channel signals.
NOTE: The manufacturer, with its effort to constantly improve product quality, reserve the
