Introduction

Your Uniden UM-525 Marine Radio combines state-of-the-art technology with
rugged durability and ease of use. The radio's all solid-state design and
conservatively-rated components and materials make it an ideal choice for harsh
marine environments. The radio's large display and backlit control buttons make it
easy to use even in extreme lighting and weather conditions.
The radio's memory channel scan feature lets you set it so it quickly scans and tunes
only the channels you select. The Triple Watch feature lets you easily scan
emergency channels along with any channel you want, and you can tune emergency
channels by pressing a single button. The weather alert features let you monitor
weather alert broadcasts and even sound an audible alarm if bad weather is
reported in an area you specify.
You can connect an optional GPS module to the radio to help keep track of your
current location with space-age precision. You can connect and use a wide variety of
optional equipment with the radio, including an FMB321 flush mount, hailer horn,
GPS module, wireless microphones, and a plotter. You can connect and use WHAM
and WHAM x 4 wireless microphones with the radio, making onboard
communications as flexible as you need them to be. You can even install an optional
scrambler board in the radio and use the radio's scrambler feature, letting you
communicate privately with other vessels that have a scrambler installed.
You should read the rest of this Operating Guide thoroughly to acquaint yourself with
all of your radio's features and functions. Save your receipt as proof-of-purchase in
case you ever need to have warranty service on the radio. Features, specifications,
and availability of optional accessories are all subject to change without notice.
Note: Your radio meets the stringent JIS7 waterproof specification. This means that
the radio and microphone can be submerged to a depth of 1 meter for up to 30
minutes without incurring damage.
