4.7.a Power Supply

The transceiver power supply must be 12Vdc (see specifics in par. 14).  The red cable must be 
connected to the positive pin, the black to the negative pin.

  Warning! A faulty connection may seriously damage the radio!!
  The power cable is equipped with a protection fuse. If the fuse shorts, look for its reason 

before substituting the cable with a new one of the same type and value.  Never short-
circuit it, as this may damage the radio.

4.7.b GPS device

If your NEPTUNE transceiver is connected to a GPS resceiver, such as the GPS 200, you can 
obtain and view NMEA information relative to the current position the vessel (latitude and longitu-
de) and the local time with respect to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

4.7.c Antenna

The antenna is an extremely important part of the device and noticeably influences the settings 
of any telecommunications device.  Contact your supplier regarding the antenna and request 
advice about how to mount and best connect it to your transceiver.

  Warning!    Ensure  the  antenna  is  in  perfect  working  order.    It  may  otherwise  seriously 

damage the radio!  A periodical measurement of the stationary waves is advised using a 
suitable SWR metre.

 

5 BASIC OPERATION 

5.1 Turning NEPTUNE on/off

To turn the transceiver on,

 rotate the 

OFF/VOLUME

 knob clockwise until it clicks on.  You will 

hear a beep (acoustic signal) and the LCD display will come on: the device is turned on to VHF 
mode.
To turn the transceiver off, rotate the knob counter-clockwise until you hear further click: the LCD 
display will turn off.

  If your transceiver is not connected to a GPS resceiver, it is necessary to insert manually your 

coordinates, otherwise an alarm will continue to sound.  For further details

, see par.7.1.

5.2 Volume regulation

Bring the 

OFF/VOLUME

 knob first to medium volume.  Once the transceiver picks up a signal, 

adjust the volume to a comfortable level.  If no signal is picked up, use the squelch control as 
described in the following paragraph and regulate the volume using background noise.

5.3 Squelch Regulation

Squelch is used to eliminate the annoying background noise you hear when no signal is being 
picked up.  If the squelch is adjusted correctly, there should be silence in between calls as well 
as a reduction in battery consumption.  To regulate squelch:
1.  Rotate the 

SQ

 knob completely counter-clockwise until you hear background noise (if you don’t 

hear anything, turn up the volume) and bring up 

RX

 on the LCD display.

2.  If no signal is being received (only noise), slowly rotate the 

SQ

 knob clockwise, stopping as 

soon as the noise and 

RX

 disappear stably.
