Installation  
This Eagle radio is designed to generate a digital maritime distress call to facilitate search and  
rescue. To be effective as a safety device, this radio must be used only within the geographic  
range of a shore-based VHF marine Channel 70 distress and safety watch system. The  
geographic range may vary but under normal conditions is approximately 20 nautical miles.  
Installation Options  
There are two ways to install the radio. You can choose:  
a deck or overhead mounted gimbal installation. The reversible mounting gimbal is fixed to  
to a suitable site and the radio is placed into it. The radio can be removed for storage and  
the viewing angle can be adjusted.  
a recessed installation. The radio is recessed into a cavity cut into a bulkhead. The radio  
fixture is permanent and the viewing angle cannot be adjusted.  
Location Requirements  
Please check these BEFORE doing any cutting or drilling.  
Whichever installation method you choose, ensure that the chosen location:  
is at least 3' (1 m) from the antenna  
allows easy connection to (at least) a 10 Amp fused 13.6 V DC electrical source and the  
antenna  
is at least 1.5' (45 cms) from the compass to avoid creating magnetic deviation of the  
compass during radio operation  
has a suitable space close by for installing the microphone bulkhead mount  
provides easy access to the controls on the front panel  
provides reasonable access to the wiring at the back of the radio  
provides enough room to fix the  
DSC warning label  
Side  
The VHF has a large LCD screen  
with an optimum viewing angle  
of approx. +/-20 deg. Ensure  
the chosen location provides  
a suitable view of the display.  
Ideally, the user should be directly  
in front of the display or no more  
than +/-20 deg from the front of  
the display.

Gimbal Installation  
1. Hold the mounting gimbal at the chosen location and use a soft pencil to mark the  
screw hole positions onto the mounting surface.  
2. If you can’t reach behind the mounting surface to attach the nuts, use the self-tapping  
screws instead of the flat screws shown in the picture. If you’re drilling into fiberglass, use  
a drill bit smaller than 3/16(5mm) to drill the pilot holes.  
Otherwise, drill the four screw holes where marked, using a 3/16(5mm) drill bit. Drill  
completely through the mounting surface.  
3. Use a Philips screwdriver and the set of four flat screws, spring washers, plain washers,  
and nuts to attach the mounting gimbal to the location site.  
4. Slide the radio into the mounting gimbal.  
5. Insert the two mounting knobs through the holes and tighten them sufficiently to hold  
the radio at the desired viewing angle.  
Change the Viewing Angle  
The viewing angle on the gimbal mount has a 20º tilt range. To change the current viewing  
angle on the gimbal mount:  
1. Support the radio, then cautiously loosen the mounting knobs until the radio can be  
moved.  
2. Re-position the radio then tighten the mounting knobs again.  
Recessed Installation  
1. Tape the installation template onto the chosen location site.  
2. Cut out the area marked by the solid dark line. (The dashed line indicates the total area that  
will be ed by the radio fascia after installation.)  
3. Remove the installation template and slide the radio into the cavity.  
4. Working from the rear of the bulkhead, align the racheted outstand on each side of the  
radio with the central hole in each mounting bracket.

5. Use the two short M5x10 screws to screw the mounting brackets to the sides of the  
radio.  
6. Screw each M5x32 screw through the screw hole in the mounting bracket, then attach  
the stopper. If your bulkhead exceeds 0.51” (13mm), the stopper can be discarded if  
necessary.  
7. Tighten the M5x32 screws until the radio is held firmly against the rear of the bulkhead.  
Install the Microphone Bulkhead Mount  
1. Hold the microphone bulkhead mount at the  
ꢀꢁꢂꢃꢄ ꢅꢆꢇꢁꢈ MM  
chosen location and use a soft pencil to mark  
the screw hole positions on the mounting  
surface.  
Ensure that the microphone curly cable will  
comfortably reach this location BEFORE you drill.  
2. Drill the two pilot screw holes where marked.  
3. Use a short length Philips screwdriver and the  
set of two flat screws, spring washers, plain  
washers, and nuts to secure the microphone  
bulkhead mount at the location site.  
4. Hang the microphone on its mount.

!
WARNING  
A valid USER MMSI must be entered into this radio before these DSC functions can be used.  
See 4-2 Enter Your USER MMSI (USER MMSID).  
5-1 WHAT IS DSC?  
DSC (Digital Selective Calling) is a semi-automated method of establishing VHF, MF, and HF  
radio calls. It has been designated as an international standard by the IMO (International  
Maritime Organization) and is part of the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety  
System).  
Currently, you are required to monitor Distress Channel 16, but DSC will eventually replace  
listening watches on distress frequencies and will be used to broadcast routine and urgent  
maritime safety information.  
DSC enables you to send and receive calls from any vessel or coast station that is equipped  
with DSC functionality, and within geographic range. Calls can be categorised as distress,  
urgency, safety, or routine, and DSC selects a working channel automatically.

Appendix B - Troubleshooting  
1. The transceiver will not power up.  
A fuse may have blown OR there is no voltage getting to the transceiver.  
a) Check the power cable for cuts, breaks, or squashed sections.  
b) After checking the wiring, replace the 7 Amp fuse (1 spare fuse is supplied).  
c) Check the battery voltage. This must be greater than 10.5V.  
2. The transceiver blows the fuse when the power is switched on.  
The power wires may have been reversed.  
a) Check that the red wire is connected to the positive battery terminal, and the black wire is  
connected to the negative battery terminal.  
3. The speaker makes popping or whining noises when the engine is running.  
Electrical noise may be interfering with the transceiver.  
a) Re-route the power cables away from the engine.  
b) Add a noise suppressor to the power cable.  
c) Use resistive spark plug wires and/or use an alternator whine filter.  
4. No sound from the external speaker.  
a) Check that the external speaker cable is physically connected.  
b) Check the soldering of the external speaker cable.  
5. Transmissions are always on low power, even when high (HI) power is selected.  
The antenna may be faulty.  
a) Test the transceiver with a different antenna.  
b) Have the antenna checked out.  
6. Battery symbol is displayed.  
The power supply is too low or too high.  
a) Check the battery voltage. This should be at least 10.5V 0.5V DC.  
b) Check the alternator on the vessel.  
7. No position information is displayed.  
The GPS cable may faulty or the GPS setting may be incorrect.  
a) Check that the GPS cable is physically connected.  
b) Check the polarity of the GPS cable.  
c) Check the baud rate setting of the GPS if applicable. The baud rate setting should be 4800 and  
parity should be set to NONE.

Procedure to remove the resistor and diode from NDC-4, 119-31, Adapter Cable:  
You will notice near the end of the cable an adapter segment protected with black  
heat-shrink.  
To connect the EAGLE GPS unit to the EVR-150 radio, you must first remove the adapter  
segment of the cable as shown in the following figures.  
Remove the adapter segment at the end of your data cable as shown at left. Snip off the end  
of the cable protected by the black heat-shrink. At right, we have used clear heat-shrink for  
clarity, so you can see the diode and resistor protected within. Remove this portion of the  
cable.  
After you've removed the adapter segment, use wire pliers to expose the ends of the five  
remaining wires in the cable. Cut off the black, blue and white wires, then seal their ends  
with heatshrink.  
Make the wire connections to the EVR-150 GPS/COM cable as follows:  
Strip about 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) of insulation from the Yellow wire and connect to the  
Yellow wire on the EVR-150 GPS/COM cable.  
Connect the Bare Stranded Drain wire to the Green wire on the EVR-150 GPS/COM cable.

Appendix E - MMSI and License Information  
You must obtain a user MMSI (Marine Mobile Service Identity) and enter it into your EVR-150  
in order to use the DSC functions. Contact the appropriate authorities in your country. If you  
are unsure who to contact, consult your Eagle dealer.  
The user MMSI is a unique nine digit number, similar to a personal telephone number. It is  
used on marine transceivers that are capable of using DSC (Digital Select Calling).  
Depending upon your location, you may need a radio station license for the EVR-150. You  
may also need an individual operator’s license.  
Eagle recommends that you check the requirements of your national radio  
communications authorities before operating DSC functions.
