The following WARNINGS and NOTICES will make you aware of RF exposure
hazards and how to assure you operate the radio within the FCC RF exposure
limits established for it.
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. KEEP the radio at least two (2) inches (5 cm) away
from yourself and others when transmitting. SEE page 20 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.
NEVER connect the transceiver 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 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.
NOTE
Throughout this manual, the term “Transceiver” will be used to identify the main
unit containing the LCD screen and controls. The term “Radio” will be used to
identify the entire equipment including transceiver, microphone, antenna and any
attached external speakers.
