Phantom PS2000 Page 4 1 GENERAL INFORMATION The Phantom PS2000 is a revolutionary Commercial Grade remote control ITU-R Class D Marine VHF transceiver. The design allows the transceiver to be mounted in a protected area on vessels that may not have space to mount a full size VHF. The Phantom PS2000 is capable of using up to 2 enhanced full function RAM+ type microphones which are supplied seperately. When the optional RAM+ type microphone(s) are connected, the Phantom PS2000 allows full control of all VHF functions, Digital Selective calling includ- ing DSC Distress, All ship calls, and Position polling with in/output to a Standard Horizon GPS chart plotter. In addition when the optional RAM+ microphone(s) are connected the 30Watt PA/Fog signalling and bells and whistles may be activated. 2 PACKING LIST When the package containing the transceiver is first opened, please check it for the following contents: Phantom PS2000 Transceiver Mounting Bracket and attaching hardware Owner’s Manual Power Cord 3 OPTIONS MMB-84 ..........................................................................Flush-Mount Bracket CMP25B/W ...............Remote-Access Microphone (RAM+ Mic, Black/White) CT-100...............................................23-feet Extension Cable for RAM+ Mic MLS-300.......................................................................External Loudspeaker 101W .......................................................................

Page 5 Phantom PS2000 4 SAFETY / WARNING INFORMATION This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where the radio operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure conditions of its passengers and bystanders by maintaining the minimum separation dis- tance of 0.6 m (2 feet). Failure to observe these restrictions will result in exceeding the FCC RF expo- sure limits. Antenna Installation: The antenna must be located at least 0.6 m (2 feet) away from passengers in order to comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements. ON-LINE WARRANTY REGISTRATION Please visit www.standardhorizon.com to register the Phantom PS2000 Marine VHF. It should be noted that visiting the Web site from time to time may be beneficial to you, as new products are released they will appear on the Marine Division of Vertex Standard Web site. PRODUCT SUPPORT INQUIRIES If you have any questions or comments regarding the use of the Phan- tom PS2000, you can visit the Marine Division of Vertex Standard Web site to send an E-Mail or contact the Product Support team at 800-767- 2450 M-F 7:00-5:00PST.
Phantom PS2000 Page 6 5 FCC RADIO LICENSE INFORMATION Vertex Standard radios comply with the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) requirements that regulate the Maritime Radio Service. STATION LICENSE An FCC ship station license is no longer required for any vessel traveling in U.S. waters (except Hawaii) which is under 20 meters in length. However, any vessel required to carry a marine radio on an international voyage, carrying a HF single side band radiotelephone or marine satellite terminal is required to have a ship station license. FCC license forms, including applications for ship (506) and land station licenses can be downloaded via the Internet at www.fcc.gov/forms. To obtain a form from the FCC, call (888) 225-5322. RADIO CALL SIGN Currently the FCC does not require recreational boaters to have a Ship Radio Station License. The USCG recommends the boats registration number and the state to be used. CANADIAN SHIP STATION LICENSING You may need a license when traveling in Canada. If you do need a license contact their nearest field office or regional office or write: Industry Canada Radio Regulatory Branch Attn: DOSP 300 Slater Street Ottawa, Ontario Canada, KIA 0C8 FCC / INDUSTRY CANADA INFORMATION The following data pertaining to the transceiver is necessary to fill out the li- cense application.

Page 7 Phantom PS2000 6 FCC NOTICE NOTICE Unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment may void com- pliance with FCC Rules. Any change or modification must be approved in writing by Marine Division of Vertex Standard. NOTICE This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful in- terference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to ra- dio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter- mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Phantom PS2000 Page 8 7 GETTING STARTED 7.1 ABOUT VHF RADIO The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with some shore stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The ma- rine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially “line of sight” (VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as buildings, hills or trees). Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter. On a fixed mount 25W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles. 7.2 SELECTING AN ANTENNA Marine antennas are made to radiate signals equally in all horizontal directions, but not straight up. The objective of a marine antenna is to enhance the signal toward the horizon. The degree to which this is accomplished is called the antenna’s gain. It is measured in decibels (dB) and is one of the major factors in choosing an antenna. In terms of effective radiated power (ERP), antennas are rated on the basis of how much gain they have over a theoretical antenna with zero gain. A 3 foot, 3dB gain antenna represents twice as much gain over the imaginary antenna. Typically a 3 foot 3dB gain stainless steel whip is used on a sailboat mast. The longer 8 foot 6dB fiberglass whip is primarily used on power boats that require the additional gain.
Page 9 Phantom PS2000 7.3 COAXIAL CABLE VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable – a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by it’s diameter and construction. For runs less than 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4 inch in diameter is a good choice. For runs over 20 feet but less than 50 feet, the larger RG-8X or RG-213/U should be used for cable runs over 50 feet RG-8X should be used. For installa- tion of the connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure below. To get your coax cable through a fitting and into your boat’s interior, you may have to cut off the end plug and reattach it later. You can do this if you follow the directions that come with the connector. Be sure to make good soldered connections. 1/16 3/4 3/4 1 1/8 1/8 5/8 3/8 Adapter
Phantom PS2000 Page 10 8 INSTALLATION 8.1 LOCATION The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that: • is far enough from any compass to avoid any deviation in compass read- ing due to the speaker magnet • allows connection to a power source and an antenna • It is recommended not to mount the antenna closer than three feet from the Phantom PS2000. Note: To insure the radio does not affect the compass or radios performance is not affected by the antenna location, temporarily connect the radio in the de- sired location and: a. Examine the compass to see if the radio causes any deviation b. Connect the antenna and key the radio. Check to ensure the radio is operating correctly by requesting a radio check. 8.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS CAUTION Reverse polarity connections will damage the radio! Connect the CMP25 RAM+ microphone, power cord, and antenna to the radio as shown bellow: 1. Mount the antenna at least 3 feet away from the radio. At the rear of the radio, connect the antenna cable. It must have a PL259 connector. RG-8/U coaxial cable must be used if the antenna is 25 feet or more from the radio. RG58 cable can be used for distances less than 25 feet. Figure 1.
