Introduction

Introduction
Your Uniden UM-525 Marine Radio combines state-of-the-art technology with rugged durability
and ease of use. The radio's all solid-state design and conservatively-rated components and
materials make it an ideal choice for harsh marine environments. The radio's large display and
backlit control buttons make it easy to use even in extreme lighting and weather conditions.
The radio's memory channel scan feature lets you set it so it quickly scans and tunes only the
channels you select. The Triple Watch feature lets you easily scan Coast Guard calling, hail-
ing, and distress channels along with any channel you want, and you can tune Coast Guard
calling, hailing, and distress channels by pressing a single button. The weather alert features
let you monitor weather alert broadcasts and even sound an audible alarm if bad weather is
reported in an area you specify.
You can connect an optional GPS module to the radio to help keep track of your current
location with space-age precision. You can connect and use a wide variety of optional
equipment with the radio, including an FMB321 flush mount, horn, GPS module, wireless
microphones, and a plotter. You can connect and use WHAM and WHAM x 4 wireless micro-
phones with the radio, making onboard communications as flexible as you need them to be.
You can even install an optional scrambler board in the radio and use the radio's scrambler
feature, letting you communicate privately with other vessels that have a scrambler installed.
You should read the rest of this Operating Guide thoroughly to acquaint yourself with all of your
radio's features and functions. Save your receipt as proof-of-purchase in case you ever need
to have warranty service on the radio. Features, specifications, and availability of optional
accessories are all subject to change without notice.
Note: Your radio meets the stringent JIS7 waterproof specification. This means that the radio
and microphone can be submerged to a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes without incurring
damage.
