The Uniden POLARIS VHF marine radio transceiver has been designed
to give you a rugged, reliable instrument that will provide you with years
of trouble-free service.
With proper care and maintenance, your Uniden POLARIS could outlast
your present vessel and serve you well on-board. The full features and
flexibility designed into this quality transceiver will prevent it from
becoming obsolete regardless of changes in craft or geographic
locations.
The technical excellence of the Uniden POLARIS is demonstrated by
the multiplicity of uses for which it has been found acceptable by the
U.S. Federal Communications Commission. The Uniden POLARIS is
acceptable for compulsory use on "party boats", for use on vessels
subject to the Great Lakes Radio Agreement or bridge-to-bridge
requirements, for general pleasure and commercial vessels, and certain
land stations in marine service.
The Uniden POLARIS is of all solid-state design with conservatively
rated, rugged components and materials compatible with the marine
environment. The transceiver utilizes a number of gaskets, sealing
rings, waterproof membranes, and other sealants to effect a waterproof
housing for protection of the electronics. The Uniden POLARIS Radio
meets the most stringent JIS7 waterproof specification. The unit may be
mounted in any number of convenient locations on your vessel by
utilizing the optional universal mounting bracket (FMB321).
You are encouraged to thoroughly read the rest of this Operating Guide
to acquaint yourself with the characteristics and operation of your
transceiver so that you can contribute to the longevity of your
investment.
