How Your CobraMarine VHF Radio Works
DISTRESS
DISTRESS
Antenna
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.
Battery
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”.

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.

emergency Channel 16 and calling Channel 9 as well as NOAA (National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration) All Hazards Radio with Alert.
Station License
An 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 Position Indicating 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 an 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 downloaded through the
Internet at www.fcc.gov. Forms can also be obtained by calling the FCC at 888-225-5322.
International Station License
If your vessel will be entering the sovereign waters of a country other than the U.S.A. or Canada,
you should contact that country’s communications regulatory authority for licensing information.
Radio Call Sign
Currently, 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., IL 1234
AB) be used as a call sign and be clearly visible on the vessel.

 Can IIcons
use
my mobile phone for emergency use?
No, Cobra does not endorse cellular telephones as a substitute for marine radios. They
generally cannot communicate with rescue vessels and, if you make a distress call on your
cellular telephone, only the party you call will be able to hear you.
Notice
Caution
Additionally, cellular
telephones
mayWarning
have limited coverage over water. If you do not
know where you are, the Coast Guard will have difficulty finding you if you
are using your cellular telephone. However, cellular telephones can have a place
onboard where cellular coverage is available – to allow social conversations and keep
the marine frequencies uncluttered and available for their intended use.
 Can I use a standard Bluetooth® headset with this radio?
No, the radio is using the headset profile of the Bluetooth specification to pair with your
mobile phone. It cannot pair to another Bluetooth headset.
 Can I use this unit as a speakerphone or hands-free device?
Turning on VOX allows you to use the radio without pressing the PTT
(Push to Talk) button. The radio will still need to be operated in a face held position with
the microphone close to the mouth. This radio uses a noise canceling microphone, and it
will not operate well from the belt clip or another hands-free position.

Burp Feature
Cobra’s Burp feature allows the operator to expel water from
inside the speaker grill. This is especially useful if the radio is
dropped overboard or during extreme foul weather conditions. In
these conditions, water can become trapped in the speaker grill
and muffle the audio.
To Activate Burp:
1. Press the MORE soft key until the BURP soft key
appears.
2. The Burp tone(s) at maximum level will sound
from the internal speaker for eight seconds.
3. During this time, the matrix will display EXCUSE ME!.

the water drain out.
5. After an 8-second interval, the radio will return to

Calling Coast Stations
Call a coast station on its assigned channel. You may use Channel 16 when you
do not know the assigned channel.
Calling Other Vessels
Call other vessels on Channel 16 or on Channel 9. (Channel 9 is preferred for recreational
vessel use.) You may also call on ship-to-ship channels when you know that the vessel is
listening on a ship-to-ship channel.
Initial Calling on Channel 16 or 9
The use of Channel 16 is permitted for making initial contact (hailing) another vessel. The
limits on calling must be followed. Be reminded, Channel 16’s most important function is
for Emergency Messages. If for some reason, Channel 16 is congested, the use of Channel
9, especially in U.S. waters, may be used as the initial contact (hailing) channel for nonemergency communication.
Limits on Calling
You must not call the same station for more than 30 seconds at a time.
If you do not get a reply, wait at least two (2) minutes before calling again.
After three (3) calling periods, wait at least 15 minutes before calling again.
Change Channels
After contacting another station on a calling channel, change immediately
to a channel which is available for the type of message you want to send.
Station Identification
Identify, in English, your station by your FCC call sign (if available), vessel name and the
state registration number, at both the beginning and at the end of the message.

Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is a semi-automated system that will allow you to press
the Distress button from any routine to make a distress call. When the distress button
is pressed, all other channels go to Standby mode and allow the digitally encoded “preprogrammed” message to take precedence. Important information such as your MMSI
number, position and name will be transmitted on Channel 16. The distress alarm will
sound for two (2) minutes or until the alarm is cleared.
Warranty
The DSC system allows you to choose a “pre-programmed” distress call such as: “Man
Overboard, Sinking, Collision.” There are many pre-programmed choices to choose
from. If a GPS is connected to your radio, your coordinates will also be sent to the
Coast Guard as well as to other vessels that are within range of the transmission. DSC
calling also allows the user to initiate and receive distress, urgent, safety, routine,
position request, position send and group calls between vessels equipped with DSC
capable radios.
Warning
WARNING
This radio will generate a digital maritime distress and safety signal to help
facilitate search and rescue. This radio must be used only within communication
range of a shore based VHF station with a distress and safety watch system.
