Problem Possible Cause(s) Solution(s)
Maintenance
Very little maintenance is required to keep your CobraMarine VHF radio in good
operating condition.
Q Keep the radio clean by wiping with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
Rinse with fresh water. Do not use solvents or harsh or abrasive cleaners,
which could damage the case or scratch the LCD screen.
Q If the radio is exposed to salt water, rinse it in fresh water at least once
a day to prevent build-up of salt deposits, which could interfere with
button operation.

VHF Marine Channel Assignments
Three (3) sets of VHF channels have been established for marine use in the U.S.A.,
Canada and the rest of the world (International). Most of the channels are the same for
all three (3) maps, but there are denite differences (see table on the following pages).
Your radio has all three (3) maps built into it and will operate correctly in whichever
area you choose.
The following is a brief outline of the channel assignments in the U.S.A. Channel Map.
Channel 16
Getting the attention of another station (calling) or in emergencies (distress and safety).
Channel 9

NOTE
Many of the plain-numbered channels, such as 01, 02 and 03, transmit and
receive on different frequencies. This is termed duplex operation. The rest of the
plain-numbered channels and all of the A channels, such as 01A, 03A and
04A, transmit and receive on a single frequency, which is termed simplex
operation. Your radio automatically adjusts to these conditions. When in simplex
operation, the A icon will appear on the LCD (see illustration on page A3).
NOTE
All channels are preprogrammed at the factory according to international
regulations and those of the FCC (U.S.A.) and Industry Canada (Canada).
They cannot be altered by the user nor can modes of operation be changed
between simplex and duplex.
NOTA
Muchos de los canales de números simples, como 01, 02 y 03, transmiten
y reciben en diferentes frecuencias. A esto se le llama operación dúplex. El
resto de los canales de números simples y todos los canales A, como 01A,

operación simple (simplex). Su radio se ajusta automáticamente a estas
condiciones. Cuando esté en operación simple, el icono A aparecerá en la
pantalla de cristal líquido (vea la ilustración de la página A3).
NOTA
Todos los canales vienen programados previamente de fábrica conforme
a los reglamentos internacionales y a los de la FCC (EE. UU) e Industry Canada
(Canadá). No pueden ser alterados por el usuario, así como tampoco pueden
cambiarse los modos de operación entre simple y dúplex.
