for Occupational Use Only. The radio also complies with the
following guidelines and standards regarding RF energy and
electromagnetic energy levels including the recommended
levels for human exposure:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, evaluating compliance
with FCC guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1) IEEE standard
for safety levels with respect to human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3) IEEE
recommended practice for the measurement of potentially
hazardous electromagnetic fields - RF and microwaves.
Below the RF exposure hazards and instructions in safe
operation of the radio within the FCC RF exposure limits
established for it are described.
Warning
The SAILOR radio set generates electromagnetic RF (radio
frequency) energy when transmitting. To ensure that no
personnel will be exposed to excessive amounts of RF-energy
and to avoid health hazards from excessive exposure to RF
energy, the following safety distances must be followed:
viii
Antenna Safety distance
ix
3. If the antenna has to be placed in public areas or near people
with no awareness of the radio transmission, the antenna
must be placed at an even greater distance. Consult the
appropriate standard for exact limits, depending on national
specifications.
Failure to observe any of these warnings may cause RF exposure
exceeding above mentioned limits or create dangerous
conditions.

Introduction
SAILOR 6301 Control Unit DSC Class A
The SAILOR 6301 Control
Unit DSC Class A is a modular
and flexible MF/HF radio that
can be customized to your
specific needs for MF/HF
communication on work
boats, high seas fishing
vessels and merchant vessels
of all kinds. It offers simplex and semi-duplex SSB radiotelephony in the
maritime mobile frequency bands from 150 kHz to 30 MHz. Services
include voice transmissions, watch function, DSC operations (Distress calls,
position info, Distress relay and more) and AM Broadcast reception.
The large display shows Rx and Tx frequencies and status, MMSI number,
position information, system and channel properties, including indicators
for transmission power and received signal strength. It is easy to read from
almost all angles and the display light can be adapted to dark environments.
Red text is shown on a black background providing good visibility in low
light conditions while protecting night vision.
DSC operations are made using the four soft keys next to the display. The
MF/HF radio can replay the last 240 s of received voice. This is a useful
feature to minimize misunderstandings and to record audio when the radio
is unattended. The SAILOR 6301 Control Unit has an Ethernet interface to
connect to other equipment for control, monitoring and printing.
The SAILOR 6301 Control Unit is available as a basic MF DSC radio that can
be upgraded with an HF DSC option and/or a telex option. Telex is sent
using the SAILOR 6006 Message Terminal.

A session can be either active or on hold. The active session has control
over the radio transmitter. A session can have a purpose. For example if the
purpose is to establish a communication on a working channel.
The non-DSC communication (voice) is considered as a session that can be
active (engaged) or on hold (dis-engaged). See also Engagement status on

Maintenance
Preventive maintenance
Maintenance of the SAILOR 6300 MF/HF DSC can be reduced to a weekly
check and a maintenance check at each visit of the service staff. Inspect
the radio for mechanical damages, salt deposits, corrosion and any foreign
material. Due to its robust construction and ruggedness the radio has a long
lifetime. Anyway it must carefully be checked at intervals not longer than
12 months - dependent on the current working conditions.
53
Chapter 3: Service & maintenance
Salt deposits
Antenna system, including Antenna Tuning Unit, whip antenna, feeder wire
and especially supporting isolators should be checked regularly and kept
clean to avoid flashovers and reduced output power causing poor radiation.
In case the indoor equipment has been exposed to sea water there is a risk
of salt crystallization on the keyboard, knobs and cable connectors on the
control unit, as well as on cable connectors on the transceiver unit, and they
may become inoperable.
Clean the MF/HF radio system with fresh water.
1. Select a SSB channel or frequency pair, press PTT and check that tune is
done successfully.
2. If a GPS is connected, check the position and time in the MF/HF display.
3. Send a DSC test call to an appropriate coast station or ship.
4. Enter Setup, Diagnostics, Self Test and start the applicable test, noting
that RF-power will be present during testing. Note that output power is
above 60W.
1. Press the soft key SETUP. If it is not in the display, press the soft key

2. Press the arrow soft key or to advance to DSC SETUP.
3. Turn the selector knob to select DSC Self Test. Press and turn the
selector knob to select RUN.
The test will check the ability to encode/decode DSC signalling on RF
level. The radio will automatically transmit a DSC safety test call to its
own MMSI number without enabling the transmitter power amplifier. In

Self Test
Two different self tests are available:
• Tx single-band transmission test
• Tx multi-band transmission test
The Tx single Band test performs a tone transmitter test on the current TX
frequency shown in the display.
Note This test transmits a short test signal at full power — the radio
operator needs to verify that the channel is free from any traffic
The output of this test is the transmitted power and the battery voltage.
Note that the output power is not calibrated, so the power figure may only
be used as a guideline. The battery voltage should not drop significantly
during this test, as this indicates a poor installation (e.g. thin wires, etc.)
The Tx Multi Band test is similar to the single band test. However, this test
automatically transmits on the channel next to all six distress SSB
frequencies:
• 2182+3 kHz
• 4125+3 kHz
• 6215+3 kHz
• 8291+3 kHz
• 12290+3 kHz
• 16420+3 kHz
If you exit the test before it is finished, a system status message will not be
added to the diagnostics log.
ATU status
In the ATU status menu the following items are present:
• ATU software version
• ATU Selftest respons in the format 0x00. This code should be
mentioned if any service inquiries regarding output power or antenna
tuner are made

• ATU SWR ratio. For the tuner, the standing wave ratio of last tune
session is recorded (for MF/HF system 6000B only).
• ATU TX Relays. For the tuner, the actual settings of relays in the
different banks of the tuner are shown. This information can be used
when making technical inquiries regarding power and tuning.

FEC Forward Error Correction. A system of error control for data
transmission, whereby the sender adds redundant data to its
messages, also known as an error-correcting code. This allows
the receiver to detect and correct errors without the need to
ask the sender for additional data. The advantages of forward
error correction are that a back-channel is not required and
retransmission of data can often be avoided.
