Your Cobra radio has several optional accessories available to enhance the use of the radio. Some are listed below:

Alkaline Battery Tray

A special alkaline battery tray (P/N CM 110-011) is available as an optional accessory to have as an emergency backup. By using six (6) high-quality AA alkaline batteries, you can have a spare battery backup source for your radio.

VHF Marine Channel Assignments

•

Three (3) sets of VHF Channel Maps have been established for marine use internationally, in Canada and in the U.S.A. Most of the channels are the same for all three (3) maps, but there are definite differences (see table on the following pages).

Your radio has all three (3) maps built into it and will operate correctly in whichever area you choose. When shipped from the factory, your radio will be set to the International Channel Map. (See page 19 for instructions on how to change the Channel Map.)

The following is a brief outline for some of the channel assignments in the International Channel Map.

Distress, Safety and Calling

Channel 16

Getting the attention of another station (calling) or in emergencies (distress and safety).

Intership Safety

Channel 6

Ship-to-ship safety messages and for search and rescue messages to coastguard ships and aircraft.

On-Board Communication

Channel 15, 17

Used for communication between parts of large ships.

Navigational

Channels 13, 67, 75, 76

Channels are available to all vessels. Messages must be about navigation, including passing or meeting other vessels. These are also the main working channels for most locks and drawbridges.

Digital Selective Calling

Channel 70

This channel is set aside for distress, safety and general calling using

only digital selective calling techniques. Voice communication is prohibited; your radio cannot transmit voice messages on this channel.

NOTE

The U.S.A. and Canada impose restrictions on the use of many channels within their territorial waters. These are noted in the channel assignment chart. If operating your vessel in U.S.A. or Canadian waters, consult the national communi- cation authority or a knowledgeable local radio operator for further guidance.
