Introduction
Important Safety Information
The following WARNINGS and NOTICE information will make you aware of RF
exposure hazards and how to assure you operate the radio within the FCC RF
exposure limits established for the radio.
WARNINGS
Your 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, DO NOT touch the antenna when transmitting
and KEEP yourself and all others on your vessel the required distance away from
the antenna while transmitting. See page 31 in the antenna requirements section
for further information.
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna or equivalent dummy load
attached. Doing so may expose you to excessive RF energy and will 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
information shows on the LCD screen.
ALWAYS use only Cobra authorized accessories.
DO NOT operate the radio in an explosive atmosphere, near blasting sites, or in
any area where signs are posted prohibiting radio transmissions.
NEVER connect the transceiver directly to AC power. It can be a fire hazard, may
cause an electric shock and may damage the transceiver.
NEVER mount the transceiver or microphone/speaker where they might interfere
with operation of your vessel or cause injury.
DO NOT allow children or anyone unfamiliar with proper procedures to operate the
radio without supervision.
Failure to observe any of these warnings may cause you to exceed FCC RF
exposure limits or create other dangerous conditions.
