Volume Control Owners Manual Our Thanks to You and Customer Assistance 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. Customer Assistance B n o s r e V i P

AVOID using or storing the radio at temperatures below -4F (-20C) or above 140F (60C) . Secondary Icons KEEP your radio at least 3 ft (0 .9 m) away from your vessels magnetic navigation compass . DO NOT attempt to service any internal parts yourself . Have any necessary service performed by a qualified 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 Warning Caution Notice may explode if disposed of in a fire . CAUTION Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type . Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions . Changes or modifications 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 afloat 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 sufficient for the distances you travel from the coast, consider installing a Cobra Marine fixed 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 difficulty finding 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 . FCC Licensing Information Intro Caution Warning Warranty Operation Installation Secondary Icons Customer Assistance Customer Assistance Introduction Sea Tow Automated Radio Check (ARC) System Please try the Sea Tow Automated Radio Check service .

It has been designed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as an international standard for VHF, MF, and HF calls and is part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). Secondary Icons DSC will eventually replace aural (listening) watches on distress frequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety information broadcasts. Until DSC is fully implemented, it is still necessary to maintain a listening watch on Channel 16. The DSC system allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS position coordinates to the Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the transmission. DSC also allows mariners to initiate and receive distress, urgent, safety, routine, position request, position send, and group calls between vessels equipped with DSC capable radios.

It is used to selectively call other vessels or shore stations and is similar to a telephone number. For your CobraMarine radio to operate in the DSC mode, you must enter your maritime mobile service identity (MMSI) number.

Notice Caution Warning WARNING This equipment is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and safety signal to facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety device, this equipment must be used only within communication range of a shore-based VHF marine channel to distress and safety watch system. The range of the signal may vary. 52 English MRHH600_ENG_MANL.indd 52-53 Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra 53 4/3/17 5:03 PM Main Icons Main Icons Digital Select Calling (DSC) Setup VHF Marine Radio Protocols Operation Intro Customer Assistance Warranty Installation Customer Assistance DSC Set-Up Digital selective calling DSC employs digital RF signals which tend to carry further and be less susceptible to distortion from noise and atmospheric conditions than analog ones. The result is greater range and more reliable message delivery per watt of output power. But, that is not the only advantage of DSC equipped radios. Those radios are set up to Secondary Icons interface with GPS and to automate many of the operations involved in sending and receiving messages. That results in more compact and accurate messages and less congestion of the airwaves. The price of these benefits to the user is the time it takes to do the required set-up to make the DSC features work. A little time spent when your radio is new will pay dividends over its life. User MMSI Number The nine (9) digit MMSI number, similar to a telephone number, is a unique identifier for a vessel. DSC incorporates this number into every message that is Sent (Tx) or Received (Rx). Enter the MMSI number as soon as you receive your MMSI number from the issuing agency. Warning Caution Notice NOTE The radio does not operate in the DSC mode until an official MMSI number is entered. An error tone will sound when attempting to operate in the DSC mode without an MMSI number. NOTE An MMSI number can only be entered one time. To enter a new MMSI number, please contact Cobra customer service. NOTE An alert tone and message will sound each time you try and use the radio until an MMSI is programmed. ATTENTION!

1 2 3 | Output power listed is conducted at the antenna terminal. This transmitter may operate with the antennas tested for this filing in push-to-talk held-near-face and body-worn configurations. Body-worn SAR compliance is limited to the specific belt-clip and audio accessory configurations tested for this filing, and to belt-clips, holsters, or similar accessories that have no metallic component in the assembly and which provide at least 2.5 cm separation between the device, including its antenna, and the users body. This device must be restricted to work related operations in an Occupational/Controlled RF exposure Environment, not exceeding a maximum transmitting duty factor of 50 %. All qualified end-users of this device must have the knowledge to control their exposure conditions and/or duration to comply with Occupational/Controlled SAR limit and requirements. A label, as described in this filing, must be displayed on the device to direct users to specific training information for meeting Occupational Exposure Requirements, and users must be provided with the training information. The highest reported SAR values for FCC-authorized operations accounting for a 50 % duty factor, are: head, body-worn accessory are 3.51 W/kg and 5.76 W/kg respectively. | |||||
