Specifications

INTRODUCTION

The Uniden MC1010 VHF marine radio transceiver has been designed to give you a rugged, reliable instrument that will provide you with years of trouble-free service.

You need to read this Operating Guide thoroughly to acquaint yourself with the characteristics and operation of your transceiver.

Be sure to complete the Product Registration Card.

Keep your receipt as proof-of-purchase in case warranty service is required.

Included with your package

1 x Mounting Bracket and Screws

2 x Bracket thumb screws

1 x Mic. hang up Bracket and Screws

1 x DC Power lead

Optional Accessories

Flush mounting bracket for ‘in dash’ installation. Extension speaker.

Please contact your local Uniden supplier for information

Features, Specifications and availability of Optional Accessories are all subject to change without notice.

1

NOTE

The MC1010 will only operate with 12 volt negative ground batteries.

NOTE

The MC1010 is NOT waterproof. Select a mounting location that is protected from water.

INSTALLATION

Convenience features of the MC1010

Universal mounting bracket - this allows you to install the MC1010 horizontally on top or to the underside of a shelf, on a bulkhead or overhead.

Remote speaker jack - for use with an optional extension speaker.

Plug-in type connections - for easy removal of the MC1010.

Internal speaker - positioned for convenient in-dashboard mounting using the optional flush mount bracket.

Choosing a location

When deciding on the most suitable location for your MC1010 you need to take into account electrical, mechanical and environmental elements that may effect its performance.

Antenna - The antenna needs to be located as high as possible and clear of metal objects.

The performance range of the MC1010 is directly related to the antenna height. The cable to the antenna should be as short as possible. Long antenna leads can cause substantial loss of performance for both receiving and transmitting.

Moisture/Sunlight - Select a location that is sheltered from moisture and out of direct sunlight.

Battery leads - Try to mount the MC1010 close to the battery (within the range of the supplied power leads). If this is not possible, any extension needs to be made with #10

AWG wire. For long extensions a larger wire gauge should be used.

Compass - Due to possible electromagnetic interference the MC1010 and any extension speakers should not be mounted close to a compass.

Cooling - The location of the MC1010 should permit clear air flow to the heat sink at the rear of the radio.

Engine Noise Suppression

Interference generated from the electrical systems of engines is sometimes a problem with radios. The MC1010 has been designed to be essentially impervious to ignition impulse noise and alternator noise. However, in some installations it may be necessary to take measures to further reduce the effect of noise interference. All DC battery wires, antenna lead, and accessory cables should be routed away from power cabling carrying particularly high currents.

In severe cases of noise interference, it may be necessary to install a noise supression kit.

2

NOTE

The power cord is equipped with a fuse to protect the radio. Use only a 6 Amp fast blow fuse when replacing.

NOTE

Always mount the

MC1010 horizontally never facing upwards, as it will collect water.

Antenna Considerations

A variety of antenna is available from a number of quality suppliers. It is recommended you draw upon the advice of your retailer when choosing a suitable antenna to suit your vessel and range requirements. In general, the communication range is increased by using a high-gain antenna placed as high as possible above the water line. Antennas should be located away from metal objects and not have excessively long coaxial feed cables.

Installing the MC1010

After you have considered the various factors affecting your choice of location, position the radio (with the bracket, microphone, power cord, antenna and any auxiliary cables installed) into the selected location and operate it to ensure there is no interference with surrounding fittings.

Mark the location of the mounting bracket, remove it from the radio and use the bracket as a template to position the fixing holes for drilling.

Screw fix the mounting bracket using the screws compatible with the mounting surface.

Connect the red wire of the supplied power cord to the positive (+) battery terminal.

Connect the black wire to (-) battery terminal.

Connect the power cord to the keyed connector on the DC power lead (see page 4)

Install the radio in the mounting bracket and connect all cables and accessories to the appropriate jacks and connectors.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your MC1010 is a precision piece of electronic equipment and needs to be treated accordingly.

Due to the rugged design, very little maintenance is required, however a few precautions should be observed.

If your radio has been accidentally subjected to moisture, you should immediately wipe it down with a soft cloth dampened with fresh water - then dry it off.

If the antenna has been damaged, you should not transmit except in case of emergency.

A defective antenna may cause damage to your radio.

You are responsible for the continued AS/NZS 4415 technical compliance of your radio.

You are urged to arrange for periodic performance checks with your local Uniden marine dealer.

MEM (Entering or removing Memory Scan channels)

You can enter channels into memory for instant scanning at any time. When a channel is selected for Memory Scan, the MEM indicator will appear on the LCD display.

To enter a channel number into memory, select the channel number you want stored by memory, select the channel you want to remove by pressing the channel selector button, then

NOTE

At least two channel numbers must be entered into the memory before the scan function will operate.

M E M

Scan

To scan channels stored in Memory, press and hold the STEP button. In the Memory

Scan Mode, the MC1010 scans only those channel numbers previously entered into Memory.

S C A N M E M

NOTE

If no channel has been entered into Memory

Scan, the error tone sounds and the LCD panel does not change.

Transmitting

One watt transmit power (LO) should be selected for most commuunications. This prevents your signal from interfering with other vessels communications, and will work fine unless maximum range is required. Press the H/L button until LO is shown in the display.

Twenty-five watt transmit power (HI) provides a great range. It will allow your signal to be heard over weaker signals. It should be used only when necessary.

To activate the transmitter, press the ‘Push to Talk’ switch on the microphone. TX will be displayed, indicating a signal is being transmitted. Release the switch to receive. When transmitting hold the microphone approximately 5cm from your mouth and speak clearly in a normal voice.

L O

Transmit Time Out

If you transmit continuously for more than 5 minutes, TX flashes and transmit will be cancelled. The Time Out tone will sound until the PTT button is released.
