Introducing the Quintessential Marine Communication Device: FM4850 Black Box VHF Radio

If you're a mariner who refuses to settle for anything less than state-of-the-art technology, meet your next obsession: the FM4850 Black Box VHF Radio. This 5-in-1 marine communication device comes equipped with Class D DSC, AIS Receiver, GPS*, and a Simplified Loud Hailer with intercom.

This cutting-edge equipment seamlessly integrates with Furuno's other flagship products like NavNet TZtouch2 and NavPilot 711C, offering a coherent and sophisticated look to any helm.

The Powerhouse of Technical Marvels

The FM4850 can share its own GPS, DSC, and AIS information via NMEA0183 or NMEA2000, offering an unparalleled level of connectivity. Its AIS Receiver can be networked with GPS Plotters or MFDs, such as NavNet TZtouch, NavNet TZtouch2, or GP1871F/GP1971F combo units. Not only that, the DSC calling feature can be initiated directly from your MFD. In emergency situations, like a Man Overboard (MOB), this radio turns into a lifesaving tool, entering a special mode that allows you to send out a distress call by simply pressing the rotary knob.

Heighten Your Onboard Safety & Communication

The FM4850 serves as a Loud Hailer with intercom, boasting 8 alert sound patterns. Fog Horn and Warning Signal features come built-in. Its two-way Listen Back function enables the horn speaker to pick up and transmit external sounds, ensuring smooth and effective communication between the deck and the bridge or even alerting you when your fishing rod gets a bite.

Measurements That Matter

Due to its compact design, the FM4850 easily fits into tight spaces, making it suitable for a wide range of boats. Specific dimensions are yet to be announced.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
