Black Box Marine VHF Radiotelephone with Class D DSC, AIS Receiver, and
Simplified Loud Hailer
The Ultimate 5-In-1 Tool of VHF Radios
The FM4850 is a new marine Black Box VHF radiotelephone with built-in Class D
DSC, AIS Receiver, and Simplified Loud Hailer with intercom. Its compact housing
enables it to be installed in a variety of craft, even vessels where space is
limited, such as center-console boats.The FM4850 handset shares a common
appearance with other Furuno equipment, such as NavNet TZtouch2, NavPilot 711C,
and the FI70 Instrument series, offering an integrated appearance to any helm. Its
built-in AIS Receiver can be used to overlay AIS targets with networked GPS
Plotters or MFD's, such as NavNet TZtouch, NavNet TZtouch2, or GP1871F/GP1971F
combo units.
Built-In DSC and AIS
An external GPS antenna can be connected to the FM4850, and it can share its
own GPS, DSC and AIS information via NMEA0183 or NMEA2000. When connected via
NMEA2000 to any NavNet TZtouch2 MFD, DSC calling can be initiated directly from
the TZtouch2 MFD by simply tapping on the AIS/DSC target and selecting [DSC
Call]. Additionally, when MOB (Man Overboard) is activated on a TZtouch2 MFD,
the FM4850 enters a special mode where you can initiate a distress call by
simply pushing the rotary knob on the handset.
Loud Hailer, Intercom, and Listen
Back Features
The unit can operate as a simplified Loud Hailer with intercom, featuring 8
patterns of alert sounds. Loud Hailer, Fog Horn and Warning Signal features are
all available, enhancing onboard safety and communications while navigating in
the dark or fog. When connected with the second-station handset, intercom
communications are available, allowing communications between the two devices.
Additionally, the horn speaker can be used to collect external sounds and
transmit them through the built-in speaker with a function called Listen Back.
In this way, a person on the deck can easily communicate with the bridge, a
particularly useful feature for a variety of fishing vessels and workboats. The
Listen Back function can also be an effective tool on sport fishing vessels,
allowing the horn speaker to collect the sound from fishing rods and lines when
you get a strike.
