Have any necessary service performed by a qualified technician.■Changes or modifications to your radio may void its compliance with FCC rules and make it illegal to use.Important Safety Information •Before assembling and using your CobraMarine™VHF radio, please read these general precautions and warnings.Warning and Caution StatementsTo make the most of this radio, it must be assembled and used properly.

5Nothing comes close to a Cobra®4EnglishRecommendations for Marine Communication FCC InformationRecommendations for Marine Communication •The frequencies your radio uses are set aside to enhance safety afloat and for vesselnavigation and operational messages over a range suitable for nearshore voyages. If the two (2) watt maximum output of your radio isn’t sufficient for the distancesyou travel from the coast, consider grabbing a Cobra®hand held radio with up to five (5) watts of output power or installing a Cobra®fixed mount radio with up to 25 wattsof output power. (Visit www.cobra.com or your local dealer for model availability.)If you will be going far offshore, you should consider adding even more powerfulradio equipment such as HF Single Sideband or Satellite Radio for your vessel.The U.S. Coast Guard does not endorse cellular telephones as substitutes for marineradios. They generally cannot communicate with rescue vessels and, if you make adistress 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 behard to locate. If you don’t know where you are, the Coast Guard will have difficultyfinding you if you’re using a cellular telephone.However, cellular phones can have a place on board — to allow social conversationsand keep the marine frequencies uncluttered and available for their intended uses.IMPORTANT NOTICE: FCC LICENSING INFORMATION •CobraMarine™VHF radios comply with the FCC (Federal CommunicationCommission) requirements that regulate the Maritime Radio Service.Station LicenseAn FCC ship station license is no longer required for any vessel traveling in U.S.A.waters which uses a VHF marine radio, RADAR, or EPIRB (Emergency PositionIndicating Radio Beacon), and which is not required to carry radio equipment.However, any vessel required to carry a marine radio on an international voyage,carrying a HF single side band radiotelephone, or carrying a marine satellite terminal must obtain a station license.FCC license forms and applications for ship and land stations can be downloadedthrough the internet at www.fcc.gov/forms. Forms can also be obtained by callingthe FCC at 888-225-5322.Radio Call SignCurrently, the FCC does not require recreational boaters to have a license. The United States Coast Guard recommends that the boat’s registration number and state of registry (e.g. Illinois AB 1234) be used as a call sign and be clearly visible on the vessel.Canadian Ship Station LicenseYou may need a license if your vessel is operated in sovereign waters of a countryother than the U.S.A. If you are going to operate in Canadian waters, please contactthe nearest field office or write: Industry of Canada, Radio Regulatory Branch, Attn: DOSP, 300 Slater Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1A 0C8.User Responsibility and Operating LocationsAll users are responsible for observing domestic and foreign government regulationsand are subject to severe penalties for violations. The VHF frequencies on your radioare reserved for marine use and require a special license to operate from land,including when your boat is on its trailer.NOTEThis device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.FCC Warnings: Replacement or substitution of transistors, regular diodes, or other parts of a unique nature, with parts other than those recommended by Cobra®may cause a violation of the technical regulations of part 95 of the FCC Rules, or violation of type acceptance requirements of part 2 of the Rules.VHF Marine Radio ProtocolsVHF Marine Radio ProtocolsIntroduction
