Introduction
Our Thanks to You
Thank you for purchasing a CobraMarine® VHF radio.
Properly used, this Cobra® product will give you
many years of reliable service.
How Your CobraMarine VHF Radio Works
This radio is a battery-powered portable transceiver for use afloat. It gives you
two-way vessel-to-vessel and vessel-to-shore station communications, primarily
for safety and secondarily for navigation and operational purposes. With it, you
can call for help, get information from other boaters, talk to lock or bridge tenders,
and make radiotelephone calls to anywhere in the world through a marine operator.
Besides two-way communications, the radio can provide quick access to receive
all the NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) weather channels
and alert you to weather emergencies with a tone on a weather channel
you can select for your area.
Global Positioning Sytem (GPS)
Your Cobra Marine radio includes a built-in GPS receiver. Your position will be continuously
indicated on the LCD and, most importantly, it will be included automatically with any DSC
Distress message you may need to send. That will take the “search” out of “search and
rescue”.

FCC Licensing Information
NOTICE
Your radio is waterproof only when the batteries are properly installed.
AVOID using or storing the radio at temperatures below -4˚F (-20˚C) or above
140˚F (60˚C).
KEEP your radio at least 3 ft (0.9 m) away from your vessel’s magnetic
navigation compass.
DO NOT attempt to service any internal parts yourself. Have any necessary
service performed by a qualied technician.
This radio is supplied with a lithium-ion (LiON) rechargeable battery pack.
n
Use only the Cobra charger to recharge lithium-ion (LiON) batteries in the radio.
n
Do not short circuit the battery pack.
n
When replacing the batteries, dispose of the old batteries properly. Batteries
may explode if disposed of in a re.
CAUTION Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used
batteries according to the instructions.
Changes or modications to your radio MAY VOID its compliance with
FCC (Federal Communications Commission) rules and make it illegal to use.
Recommendations for Marine Communication
The frequencies your radio uses are set aside to enhance safety aoat and for vessel
navigation and operational messages over a range suitable for nearshore voyages.
If the 6 watt maximum output of your radio is not sufcient for the distances you travel from
the coast, consider installing a Cobra Marine xed mount radio with up to 25 watts of
output power. (Visit www.cobra.com or your local dealer for model availability.)
If traveling far offshore, you should consider adding even more powerful radio equipment
such as HF single side band or satellite radio for your vessel.
The U.S. Coast Guard does not endorse cellular telephones as substitutes for marine
radios. They generally cannot communicate with rescue vessels and, if you make
a distress call on a cellular telephone, only the party you call will be able to hear you.
Additionally, cellular 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 difculty
nding you if you are using a cellular telephone.
However, cellular telephones can have a place on board where cellular coverage
is available — to allow social conversations and keep the marine frequencies
uncluttered and available for their intended uses.
