Safety of Life at Sea convention (SOLAS).
This is 150MHz/1W portable radiotelephone which
is capable of installing 13(thirteen) operating
channels for international marine mobile service,
also can be used as on-board communication
equipment.

including Battery Pack. And its shape is designed
to facilitate carrying by hand for a long period of
time. Moreover, carrying strap and a belt clip
come with it for easy carrying.
(5) Low power consumption
Since its power consumption is extremely low,
this radio telephone can operate for a long time
(more than 8 hours with transmission reception
and stand-by in the ratio of 1 to1 to 8) once the
battery is charged.
(6) Frequency synthesizer
The use of a frequency synthesizer assures high
frequency stability for all the channels.
(7) Display of transmitting condition
The Tx lamp indicates whether transmitting
output is on or off.
During press-to-talk operation, the Tx lamp lights
up by monitoring carrier level to indicate that
signals are being transmitted.
(8) Charge lamp
When the battery energy is almost consumed, the
BUSY lamp blinks for indicating necessity of the
battery charging.
(9) High reliability
Surface-mounting type ICs, transistors, resistors,
and capacitors, which are suitable for automatic
mounting, assure homogeneous quality and high
stability.
(10) Removable battery pack
The battery pack can be easily replaced because
of its easy removal from the radiotelephone. The
battery pack mounting assembly is protected so
that battery pack can be replaced even under a
rain fall.
Quick charging (within three hours) can be done
by inserting the battery pack into the optional
battery charger NBA-4141/NBA-4141A.
