Rewind On/Off/Record

The MR F80 radio has a Cobra exclusive playback feature, Rewind-Say-Again™. This feature allows you to replay the last 20 seconds of an incoming audio transmission. It also allows you to record call details including position coordinates, call signs, registration numbers and store details that will help authorities locate a distressed vessel.

Example 1:

When engine noise, music or conversation creates too much noise to hear an inbound message clearly, press the Rewind- Say-Again™button to hear the message a second time. This feature eliminates asking the sender to repeat the message.

Example 2:

When listening to an urgent distress of an excited caller with confusing background noise, press the Rewind-Say-Again™button to hear the message a second time and get lifesaving information.

Operation of Rewind-Say-Again™

1.Press the Rewind button after the last inbound audio transmission.

2.The radio automatically replays the last 20 seconds of the previous audio transmission.

3.Respond to the caller normally, after the message is replayed.

Setup and Advanced Operation of Rewind-Say-Again™ Change the Record Setting

1.Enter the Setup menu and scroll to the REWIND menu. You can also enter the REWIND mode by pressing and holding the REWIND button.

2.Press the Enter button and observe the current rewind setting — ON or OFF.

3.Select your choice: ON or OFF and press Enter. Choose ON if you want the MRF80 to record received transmissions. Choose OFF if you want to turn off the recording feature.
