General Precautions

The following WARNINGS and CAUTIONS will make you aware of RF exposure hazards and how to assure you operate the radio within the recommended RF exposure limits established for it.

WARNINGS

Your CobraMarine™ radio generates electromagnetic RF (radio frequency) energy when it is transmitting. To ensure that you and those around you are not exposed to excessive amounts of that energy (beyond recommended allowable limits for occupational use):

ALWAYS hold the radio, especially the antenna, at least 5 cm away from you when you are transmitting.

NEVER allow the antenna to touch any part of your body when transmitting.

KEEP the radio and antenna at least as far from bystanders as from yourself.

DO NOT operate the radio without the supplied antenna or a Cobra Electronics Corporation™ authorized replacement attachment. In addition to the RF energy exposure hazard, doing so may damage the radio.

Important Safety Information

Introduction

WARNINGS

DO NOT transmit more than 50% of the time the radio is in use — 50% duty cycle. The radio is transmitting when the Talk button is pressed and the Transmit icon shows on the LCD screen.

ALWAYS use only Cobra Electronics Corporation™ authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, etc.).

DO NOT operate the radio where RF energy generated during transmission may cause electromagnetic interference or incompatibility with other devices or systems. This includes aircraft, blasting sites and hospitals.

TURN OFF the radio in explosive atmospheres and where signs are posted prohibiting radio transmissions.

Failure to observe any of these warnings may cause you to exceed recommended RF exposure limits or create other dangerous conditions.

CAUTIONS

Your radio is only waterproof when the antenna and batteries are properly installed.

AVOID using or storing the radio at temperatures below -20˚C or above 60˚C.

KEEP your radio at least 1 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 qualified technician.

Changes or modifications to your radio MAY VOID its compliance with government rules and make it illegal to use.
