SafeSea V100 VHF

The SafeSea V100 survival craft hand portable radiotelephone meets all the requirements of the IMO for carriage on SOLAS ships. Designed to be ultra-rugged and easy to use, both on-board and in distress situations, the V100 is the ideal choice for mandatory and voluntary carriage.

 

In addition to the primary battery, as an option for everyday use, Ocean Signal offers a lithium polymer rechargeable battery (RB5V) option. The quick release rapid charger provides the ideal solution for keeping the batteries fully charged.

Categories: SafeSea

For routine testing of the V100 an alkaline, non-rechargeable, battery (TB6V) is available.  This battery has limited life for testing only and not suitable for operational use. Additionally, the novel battery protection tab means the primary battery can be permanently attached to the radio without fear of losing its charge. The radio will always be available for use in times of emergency without the need to remove protective labels or the like before use. Simply break off the red protective tab and the radio will be immediately ready to turn on.

All servicing and repairs in the radio must be carried out by an approved service agent. Please retain the original packaging for your radio. If the radio has to be returned, for any reason, the original packaging should be used.

 

Your SafeSea V100 radiotelephone is warranted against manufacturing defects and workmanship for a period of two years from date of purchase. Ocean Signal Ltd will, at its discretion, repair or replace a faulty product free of charge, including return carriage costs to the owner.

Why are there fewer channels on the V100 than normal VHF handhelds?

GMDSS handheld radios are limited to having the International simplex channels fitted as these are the only ones that can be used ship to ship.

How can I test my VHF radio?

The primary battery for the SafeSea V100 is protected from accidental use by a break off tab, which inhibits the output of the battery. To test the radio, Ocean Signal provide an alkaline test battery, the TB6V. Alternatively, a rechargeable option is available, the RB5V, with charger kit (part number 721S-00622).
