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, DO NOT touch the antenna when transmitting. 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 Talk button is pressed and the
transmit 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.
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.
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.
Avis d’antenne du Canada d’industrie
En vertu de la réglementation de l’industrie du Canada, cet émetteur de radio ne peut
fonctionner à l’aide d’une antenne d’un type et un maximum (ou moins) Gain
approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Pour réduire le risque d’interférence
aux autres utilisateurs, le type d’antenne et son gain doivent être choisis afin que la
puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) ne dépasse pas ce qui est nécessaire
pour une communication réussie.
