Owner's Manual
Congratulations on your purchase of the HX760S! Whether this is your first portable marine VHF
transceiver, or if you have other STANDARD HORIZON equipment, the STANDARD HORIZON
organization is committed to ensuring your enjoyment of this high performance transceiver, which
should provide you with many years of satisfying communications even in the harshest of
environments. STANDARD HORIZON technical support personnel stands behind every product
sold, and we invite you to contact us should you require technical advice or assistance.
We appreciate your purchase of the HX760S, and encourage you to read this manual thoroughly, so
as to learn and fully understand the capabilities of the HX760S.
Water resistance of the transceiver is assured only when the battery pack is attached to the
transceiver and MIC/SP cap is installed in the MIC/SP jack.
This radio is capable of transmitting on Marine VHF.
The FCC allows the use of VHF Marine band on water areas only. However the FCC does not
allow the use of the VHF Marine band when on land. If persons use the VHF Marine Band on
land and interfere with others communicating, the FCC will be notified and search for the
interference. Responsible parties found to be transmitting on the VHF Marine Band on land could
be fined up to $10,000 for the first offense.
Your wireless handheld portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the
Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pushed, the transceiver sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In
August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission adopted RF exposure guidelines with
safety levels for hand-held wireless devices.
This device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50% (this corresponds to 50%
transmission time and 50% reception time).
WARNING: To maintain compliance with the FCC's RF exposure guidelines, this transmitter and
its antenna must maintain a separation distance of at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your face.
Speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away from the face at the required
separation distance.
If you use a headset accessory for this radio, with the radio worn on your body, use only the
Vertex Standard belt clip for this transceiver, and ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5
centimeters) from your body when transmitting.
Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the transmitter, and may violate FCC regulations.
