Important Safety Information

Introduction

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

WARNING

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 FCC allowable limits for occupational use):

ALWAYS hold the radio, especially the antenna, at least two (2) inches [five (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® authorized replacement attachment. In addition to the RF energy exposure hazard, doing so may damage the radio.

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® 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

FCC RF exposure limits or create other dangerous conditions.
