Our Thanks to You

Thank you for purchasing a CobraMarine Bluetooth Handset. Properly used, this Cobra product will give you many years of reliable service.

How Your CobraMarine Bluetooth Handset Works

This handset allows use of mobile telephones (cell phones) afloat while protecting them from potential damage in the marine environment.

Bluetoot h wireless technology allows voice and data transmission over short distances by means of a radio link. Using that technology, the Bluetooth handset allows your cell phone to be turned on and stowed in a waterproof and protected location on the vessel. Calls are then made and received using the Bluetooth handset on deck or in the cabin of your boat.

Customer Assistance

Should you encounter any problems with this product, or not understand its many features, please refer to this owner’s manual. If you require further assistance after reading this manual, please contact your local dealer.

Recommendations for Marine Communication

The Coast Guard does not endorse mobile telephones as substitutes for marine radios. They generally cannot communicate with rescue vessels and, if you make a distress call on a mobile telephone, only the party you call will be able to hear you. Additionally, mobile telephones may have limited coverage over water and can be hard to locate. If you do not know where you are, the Coast Guard will have difficulty finding you if you are using a mobile telephone.

However, mobile telephones can have a place onboard where mobile coverage is available – to allow social conversations and keep the marine frequencies uncluttered and available for their intended use.

Included in this Package

You should find all of the following items in the package with your CobraMarine Bluetooth handset.
