Our Thanks to You •
Thank you for purchasing a CobraMarine
®
VHF radio.
Properly used, this Cobra® product will give you
many years of reliable service.
How Your CobraMarine VHF Radio Works
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.
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 tune in for your area.

Important Safety Information
Introduction Important Safety Information
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, touch the antenna when transmitting. DO NOT KEEP the radio at
least two (2) inches (5cm) away from yourself and others when transmitting.
DO NOT operate with more than a duty cycle of 5% transmit, 5% receive and 90%
standby. The radio is transmitting when the button is pressed and the transmit Talk
information shows on the LCD screen.
ALWAYS use only Cobra authorized accessories.
DO NOT operate the radio in an explosive atmosphere, near blasting sites,
or in any area where signs are posted prohibiting radio transmissions.
NEVER place the transceiver or microphone/speaker where they might interfere
with operation of your vessel or cause injury.

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.
Industry Canada Antenna Notice
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type
and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

NOAA Weather Channels
Monitoring the weather will probably be a frequent use of your radio. NOAA provides
continuous, around-the-clock broadcasts of the latest weather information. Taped
weather messages run every four to six minutes and are revised every two or three
hours, or as needed. The Coast Guard also announces weather and other safety
warnings on Channel 16. Smart boaters keep an eye on safety and an ear to the radio
— and never let the weather catch them unaware.
NOAA Emergency Weather Alert
In the event of a major storm or other weather condition requiring vessels at sea
or on other bodies of water to be notified, NOAA broadcasts a 1050 Hz tone that
receivers such as your CobraMarine VHF radio can detect and warn you of a weather alert
condition. When the mode on your radio is On, this signal will Weather Alert produce
a loud tone from the speaker in the radio and will automatically switch to the alerting
weather channel so the alert broadcast can be heard.
NOAA Test Alert System
To test this system, NOAA broadcasts the 1050 Hz signal every Wednesday sometime
between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. in each local time zone. Any receiver that can detect the
weather alert tone may use this service to verify that this system is functioning properly.

Voice Calling &
Radiotelephone Calls
If the other party does not respond, wait two minutes and repeat. You are
permitted to attempt contact three times, two minutes apart. If you still have not
made contact, wait 15 minutes before trying again.
After communications are completed, each vessel must sign off with its call sign
or vessel name and the word “out” and return to Channel 16.
NOTE
For best sound quality at the station you are calling, hold the microphone on the
front of the radio at least 2 in. (51 mm) from your mouth and slightly off to one
side. Speak in a normal tone of voice.
NOTE
“Over and Out”
The most commonly misused procedure words are “over and out” within the
same transmission. “Over” means you expect a reply. “Out” means you are
finished and do not expect a reply.
For Example

Voice Calling
Voice Calling •
You are required to listen to Channel 16 while standing by. Channel 16 is the distress
and safety channel used for establishing initial contact with another station and for
emergency communication. The Coast Guard also monitors Channel 16 for safety
purposes for everyone on the water.
NOTE
Channel 9 may be used by recreational vessels for general-purpose calling.
This frequency should be used whenever possible to help relieve congestion
on Channel 16. The Coast Guard generally does not make urgent marine
information broadcasts or weather warnings on Channel 9. Boaters are still asked
to “keep watch” on Channel 16 whenever the radio is turned on and
not in use with another station.
To call another vessel or shore installation (e.g, lock or bridge tender):
Make sure the radio is On.
Make sure you are in standby listening mode on Channel 16. Make sure Channel
16 is not in use.
When the channel is open (quiet), press the button and call a vessel. Hold Talk
the radio or microphone several inches from your face and speak clearly and
distinctly in a normal voice tone. Say “name or station being called,” “THIS IS
[your vessel name or call sign].”
Once contact is made, you must leave Channel 16 and go to another working
channel. See channel listing in the appendix.
The vessel Corsair is calling the vessel Vagabond:
Corsair: “Vagabond, this is Corsair. Over.”
Vagabond: “Please switch and answer on Channel 68 (or any proper working channel).
Over.”
Corsair: “Switching to Channel 68. Over.”
Radiotelephone Calls •
Boaters may make and receive radiotelephone calls to and from any number on
the telephone network by using the services of public coast stations. For a fee,
calls can be made between your radio and telephones on land, sea and in the air.
See the appendix for the public correspondence (marine operator) channels.
If you plan to use these services, consider registering with the operator of the
public coast station that you plan to work through. These services can provide
you with detailed information and procedures to follow.
NOTICE
You may disclose privileged information during a radiotelephone call.
Keep in mind that your transmission is private, as it is on a regular NOT
telephone. Both sides of the conversation are being broadcast and can be
heard by anyone who has a radio and tunes to the channel you are using.
Marine Emergency Signals
The three spoken international emergency signals are:
The distress signal is used to indicate that a station is threatened by grave MAYDAY
and imminent danger and requests immediate assistance.
The urgency signal is used when the safety of the vessel or person is in PAN PAN
jeopardy. (This signal is properly pronounced pahn pahn.)
The safety signal is used for messages about the safety of navigation or SECURITE
important weather warnings. (This signal is properly pronounced see-cure-ee-tay.)
When using an international emergency signal, the appropriate signal is to be spoken
three times prior to the message.

Emergency Messages and
Distress Procedure Emergency Messages and
Distress Procedure
Emergency Messages and Distress Procedure •
The ability to summon assistance in an emergency is the primary reason to have a VHF
marine radio. The marine environment can be unforgiving, and what may initially be a
minor problem can rapidly develop into a situation beyond your control.
The Coast Guard monitors Channel 16, responds to all distress calls, and coordinates
all search and rescue efforts. Depending on the availability of other capable vessels or
commercial assistance operators in your vicinity, Coast Guard or Coast Guard Auxiliary
craft may be dispatched.
In any event, communicate with the Coast Guard as soon as you experience difficulties
and before your situation becomes an emergency. Use the emergency message
procedures only after your situation has become grave or you are faced with a sudden
danger threatening life or property and requiring immediate help. Use Channel 16 to
communicate your emergency message. Make sure you transmit on high power.
If you are merely out of gas, do not send an emergency message. Drop your anchor
and call a friend or marina to bring the fuel you need or to give you a tow.
If You Hear a Distress Call
You must give any message beginning with one of these signals priority over any
other messages. ALL stations MUST remain silent on Channel 16 for the duration of
the emergency unless the message relates directly to the emergency.
If you hear a distress message from a vessel, stand by your radio. If it is not
answered, YOU should answer. If the distressed vessel is not nearby, wait a short
time for others who may be closer to acknowledge. Even if you cannot render direct
assistance, you may be in a position to relay the message.
Marine Distress Procedure
Speak slowly — clearly — calmly.
1. Make sure your radio is On.
2. Select Channel 16.
3. Press Talk button and say:
“MAYDAY — MAYDAY — MAYDAY.”
(Or “PAN PAN— PAN PAN— PAN PAN,”
or “SECURITE — SECURITE — SECURITE.”)
4. Say:
“THIS IS [your vessel name or call sign],” repeated three (3) times.
5. Say:
“MAYDAY (or “PAN PAN” or “SECURITE”)
[your vessel name or call sign].
6. Tell where you are:
(what navigational aids or landmarks are nearby).
7. State the nature of your distress.
8. State the kind of assistance needed.
9. Give number of persons aboard and conditions of any injured.
10. Estimate present seaworthiness of your vessel.
11. Briefly describe your vessel (length, type, color, hull).
12. Say:
“I WILL BE LISTENING ON CHANNEL 16.”
13. End message by saying:
“THIS IS [your vessel name or call sign]. OVER.”
14. Talk
Release
button and listen. Someone should answer.
If not, repeat the call, beginning at step 3 above.
Keep the radio nearby. Even after your message has been received, the Coast Guard can
find you more quickly if you can transmit a signal for a rescue boat to hone in on.
