Secondary Icons KEEP your radio at least 3 ft (0.9 m) away from your vessel’s magnetic navigation compass. DO NOT attempt to service any internal parts yourself. Have any necessary service performed by a qualified technician. Notice Caution Warning This radio is supplied with a lithium-ion (LiON) rechargeable battery pack. Use only the Cobra charger to recharge lithium-ion (LiON) batteries in the radio. Do not short circuit the battery pack. When replacing the batteries, dispose of the old batteries properly. Batteries may explode if disposed of in a fire. Changes or modifications to your radio MAY VOID its compliance with FCC (Federal Communications Commission) rules and make it illegal to use. • 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.
