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/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
recommended RF exposure limits or create other dangerous conditions.
CAUTIONS
AVOID using or storing the radio at temperatures below -20°C or above 50°C.
NEVER connect the transceiver to DC power greater than 16 volts or to
any DC source with reversed polarity. Doing so will damage the transceiver.
DO NOT cut the power cables attached to the transceiver. Improper
reconnection with reversed polarity will damage the transceiver.
POSITION your radio, external speakers and cables at least 1 metre away from
your vessel’s magnetic navigation compass. CHECK your compass before

or other equipment.
General Precautions
The following WARNINGS and CAUTIONS will make you aware of RF exposure
hazards and how to assure you operate the radio within the recommended RF
exposure limits.
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 and KEEP yourself and all others on your vessel the required
distance away from the antenna while transmitting. SEE page 28 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.

Recommendations for
Marine Communication
Nothing comes close to a Cobra®
Licensing Information
5
Recommendations for Marine Communication •
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 25 watt maximum output of your radio isn’t sufficient for the
distances you travel from the coast, consider installing more powerful radio
equipment such as HF single side band or satellite radio for your vessel.
The coastguard does not endorse mobile phones as substitutes for
marine radios. They generally cannot communicate with rescue vessels and,
if you make a distress call on a mobile phone, only the party you call will
be able to hear you. Additionally,mobile phones may have limited coverage
over water and can be hard to locate. If you don’t know where you are, the
coastguard will have difficulty finding you if you’re using a mobile phone.
However, mobile phones can have a place on board where mobile coverage
is available — to allow social conversations and keep the marine frequencies
uncluttered and available for their intended uses.
Licensing Information •
This CobraMarine™radio incorporates a VHF FM transceiver designed for use in
the frequency range of 156.025 to 163.275 MHz. It requires 13.8 volts DC and
has a switchable RF output power of 1 or 25 watts.
The radio operates on all currently allocated marine channels and is switchable for
use according to International, Canadian, or U.S.A. regulations. It features instant
access to emergency Channel 16 by pressing one key.
Station License
The UK requires a ships radio license and a marine radio operators certificate before
transmitting equipment can be used aboard a vessel. Other European countries have
specific requirements of their own.
For detailed information and applications, contact the Royal Mail Licensing Centre
in the UK. In other countries contact the local equivalent of the UK Royal Mail or
the national telecommunications authority.
Canadian or U.S.A. Station License
If your vessel will be entering the sovereign waters of Canada or the U.S.A., you
should contact Industry of Canada, Radio Regulatory Branch or the U.S. Federal
Communications Commission for licensing and operating information.
Radio Call Sign
Aradio call sign is included as part of the ships radio license in the UK.
Other countries may have different practices; contact your local regulatory
authority for information.
User Responsibility and Operating Locations
All users are responsible for observing domestic and foreign government regulations
and are subject to severe penalties for violations. The VHF frequencies on your radio
are reserved for marine use and require a special license to operate from land,
including when your boat is on its trailer.

VHF Marine Radio Procedures •
Maintain Your Watch
Whenever your boat is underway, the radio must be turned on and
be tuned to Channel 16 except when being used for messages.
Power
Try 1 watt first if the station being called is within a few kilometres.
If there is no answer, switch to a higher power. This will conserve
your battery and minimize interference to other users.
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. You may also call on ship-to-ship channels
when you know that the vessel is listening on a ship-to-ship channel.
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 2 minutes before calling again.
After three 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 your station by your call sign, ship name or other official number
at both the beginning and end of each message.
Prohibited Communications
You MUST NOT transmit:
■False distress or emergency messages.
■Messages containing obscene, indecent, or profane words or meaning.
■General calls, signals or messages (messages not addressed to a particular
station) on Channel 16, except in an emergency or if you are testing your radio.
■When you are on land.
Voice Calling •
To call another vessel or a shore installation such as a lock or bridge tender:
■Make sure your radio is on.
■Select Channel 16 and listen to make sure it is not being used.
■When the channel is quiet, press the Talk button and call the ship you wish to
contact. (Hold the microphone/speaker at least 5 cm from your face and speak
directly into it in a normal tone of voice — clearly and distinctly.) Say “[name
of station being called] THIS IS [your vessel’s name or call sign].”
■Once contact is made on the calling channel, you must switch to a proper
working channel. See the channel listing on pages 14 – 15.
The vessel Corsair calling the vessel Vagabond:
Corsair: “Vagabond, this is Corsair.”
Vagabond: “Corsair, this is Vagabond. Reply 72 (or any proper working channel).”
Corsair: “72” or “Roger”
■After communications are completed, each vessel must sign off with its
call sign or vessel name and switch to Channel 16.
NOTE
For best sound quality at the station you’re calling, hold the microphone/
speaker at least 5 cm from your mouth and slightly off to one side.
Speak in a normal tone of voice.

Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
Nothing comes close to a Cobra®
Maritime Mobile
Service Identity (MMSI)
9
Digital Selective Calling (DSC) •
Digital selective calling is a semi-automated system for establishing a radio
call. It has been designed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO)
as an international standard for VHF, MF and HF calls and is part of the
Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS.) This radio follows
Class D DSC with a dedicated Channel 70 receiver.
DSC will eventually replace aural (listening) watches on distress frequencies
and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety information
broadcasts. Until DSC is fully implemented, it is still necessary to maintain a
listening watch on Channel 16.
The DSC system allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS
position coordinates (requires a GPS receiver to be connected to the radio)
to the coastguard and other vessels within range of the transmission.
DSC also allows mariners to initiate and receive distress, urgent, safety,
routine, position request, position send and group calls between vessels
equipped with DSC capable radios.
WARNING
This equipment is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and
safety signal to facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety
device, this equipment must be used only within communication range
of a shore-based VHF station with a distress and safety watch system.
The range of the signal may vary, but under normal conditions should
be approximately 20 nautical miles.
Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) •
An MMSI is a nine digit number used on a marine radio capable of using digital
selective calling (DSC.) It is used to selectively call other vessels or shore stations
and is similar to a telephone number.
For your CobraMarine™radio to operate in the DSC mode, you or your dealer
must enter your maritime mobile service identity (MMSI) number. See page 46
for instructions on how to enter it.
To Obtain an MMSI Number
United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, MMSI numbers are available from the Royal Mail Radio
Licensing Centre either when a radio license is applied for or any time afterward.
International
Users in other countries can obtain an MMSI from their country’s equivalent to
the UK Royal Mail, or their national telecommunications authority or ship registry.
This may involve amending or obtaining a ship station license.
North America
In the U.S.A., the three sources for MMSI numbers are:
■Boat U.S.: 1-800-563-1536 – www.boatus.com/mmsi
■Maritel: 1-888-Maritel (1-888-627-4835)
■Sea Tow International: 1-631-765-3660 – www.seatow.com
In Canada, contact the nearest IndustryCanada office. Addresses and telephone
numbers are available from Radiocommunication Information Circular 66 (RIC-66.)

Radiotelephone Calls
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. Calls can be
made — for a fee — between your VHF radio and telephones on land, sea and in the
air. See pages 14 – 23 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. Those services can provide
you with detailed information and procedures to follow.
CAUTION
You may disclose privileged information during a radiotelephone call.
Keep in mind that your transmission is NOT private, as it is on a regular
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.
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 coastguard 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,
coastguard or coastguard auxiliary craft may be dispatched.
In any event, do communicate with the coastguard 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.
If you are merely out of fuel, do not send an emergency message. Drop your
anchor and call a friend or marina to bring the fuel you need or give you a tow.

Marine Emergency Signals
The three spoken international emergency signals are:
The distress signal MAYDAY is used to indicate that a station is threatened
by grave and imminent danger and requests immediate assistance.
The urgency signal PAN PAN is used when the safety of the vessel or person
is in jeopardy. (This signal is properly pronounced pahn-pahn.)
The safety signal SECURITE is used for messages about the safety of navigation or
important weather warnings. (This signal is properly pronounced see-cure-it-tay.)
When using an international emergency signal, the appropriate
signal is to be spoken three times prior to the message.
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 VHF 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].”
5. Say:
“MAYDAY (or “PAN PAN” or “SECURITE”)
[your vessel name or call sign].
6. Tell where you are:
(Your position or what navigational aids or landmarks are near.)
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. Release Talk button and listen. Someone should answer.
If not, repeat the call, beginning at item 3 above.
For medical problems such as crew hit by sailboat boom or heart
trouble, make a PAN PAN call as above with the word medico added.
“PAN PAN MEDICO — PAN PAN MEDICO — PAN PAN MEDICO”
The coastguard will try to link you to a doctor who can give
expert advice and evaluate the need for evacuation.
Keep the radio nearby. Even after your message has been received, the coastguard can
find you more quickly if you can transmit a signal for a rescue boat to home in on.
“Mayday — Mayday — Mayday”
“This is Corsair — Corsair — Corsair”
“Mayday Corsair”
“Point Lynas bears 220 degrees magnetic — distance 5 kilometres”
“Struck submerged object and flooding — need pump and tow”
“Four adults, three children aboard — no one injured”
“Estimate we will remain afloat one-half hour”
“Corsair is an 8 metre sloop with blue hull and tan deck house”
“I will be listening on Channel 16”
“This is Corsair”
“Over”
It is a good idea to write out a script of the message form and post it where you
and others on your vessel can see it when an emergency message needs to be sent.
Marine Distress Procedure – DSC •
Once your radio is connected to a GPS device and is properly set-up with your
MMSI, simply lifting the red door, pressing the button and following the screen
instructions will automatically send a complete distress call on Channel 70.
See the DSC operation section on pages 51 – 64 for further information and
page 51 instruction on sending a specified DSC distress call.

VHF Marine Channel Assignments •
Three sets of VHF channels have been established for marine use internationally, in
Canada and in the U.S.A. Most of the channels are the same for all three maps, but
there are definite differences (see table on the following pages.) Your radio has all
three maps built into it and will operate correctly in whichever area you choose.
When shipped from the factory, your radio will be set to the International Channel
Map. (See page 38 for instructions on how to change the Channel Map.)
In many countries or areas, several additional recreational channels are available.
To use any of these, they must be programmed into your radio by your local dealer
or distributor.
The following is a brief outline of the channel assignments in the International
Channel Map.
Distress, Safety and Calling
Channel 16
Getting the attention of another station (calling) or in emergencies
(distress and safety.)
Intership Safety
Channel 6
Ship-to-ship safety messages and for search and rescue messages to
coastguard ships and aircraft.
On-Board Communication
Channel 15
Used for communication between parts of large ships.
Non-Commercial
Channels 68, 72
Working channels for small vessels. Messages must be about needs of the
vessel, such as fishing reports, berthing and rendezvous. Use Channel 72 only
for ship-to-ship messages.
Commercial
Channels 8, 9, 10, 11, 17, 67, 88, 88A
Working channels for working ships only. Messages must be about business or
needs of the ship. Use Channels 8, 67, 88 and 88A only for ship-to-ship messages.
Public Correspondence (Marine Operator)
Channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 60, 61,
62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 78, 82, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88
For calls to marine operators at public coast stations. You can make and receive
telephone calls through these stations.
Port Operations
Channels 4, 5, 7, 12, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 61, 62, 63,
64, 65, 66, 69, 71, 73, 74, 77, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83
Used for directing the movement of ships in or near ports, locks or waterways.
Messages must be about operational handling, movement and safety of ships.
Navigational
Channels 13, 67
Channels are available to all vessels. Messages must be about navigation,
including passing or meeting other vessels. These are also the main working
channels for most locks and drawbridges. You must keep your messages
short and power output at no more than 1 watt.
Digital Selective Calling
Channel 70
This channel is set aside for distress, safety and general calling using
only digital selective calling techniques. Voice communication is prohibited;
your radio cannot transmit voice messages on this channel.
NOTE
The U.S.A. and Canada impose restrictions on the use of many channels
within their territorial waters. These are noted in the channel assignment
chart. If operating your vessel in U.S.A. or Canadian waters, consult the
national communication authority or a knowledgeable local radio operator
for further guidance.

Antenna Requirements
and Attachment
Electrical Power Connection
Your CobraMarine™VHF radio is powered
from the vessel’s 13.8 volt negative ground
direct current electrical system (12 volt
nominal.) A fused power connection lead
is provided at the back of the transceiver.
To connect to a power source:
1. Attach the black power wire to a
negative ground.
2. Attach the fused red power wire to
the positive side of the power system.
CAUTIONS
Areverse polarity connection will damage the radio.
When replacing the fuse in your transceiver,use only the size and type
originally provided.
NOTE
Please ensure that the radio is disconnected from the battery via an accessory
switch or other means when not in use. All wiring is best kept as short as
possible. If the power leads must be extended, use a high quality marine grade
cable sized for up to 10 amps of current. To minimize voltage drop, choose a
wire gauge as follows:
Length Wire Gauge
Up to 1.5m #14
Up to 3.0m #12
Up to 5.0m #10
Up to 6.0m #8
Antenna Requirements and Attachment •
Antenna Requirements
Your CobraMarine™VHF radio requires an external marine antenna to send signals
into the air and to receive them. The radio is arranged to use any of the popular
marine VHF antennas, but it is up to you to choose which antenna to use.
Since it represents the link between your radio and the outside world, Cobra Electronics
Corporation™suggests you purchase the best quality antenna, coaxial cable, and
connectors you can. This is best accomplished with the guidance of a knowledgeable
dealer who can assess the variables involved with your particular boat and preferences.

Installation and Start-Up
Cobra Electronics Corporation™recommendations for radio frequency exposure
are based upon the federal regulatory requirements in the U.S.A. Your country may
have different requirements. Ask your dealer or another knowledgeable person.
Compliance with recommendations for Radio Frequency Exposure is the
responsibility of both the antenna installer and the radio operator.
Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Radius
Toavoid health hazards from excessive exposure to RF energy, the U.S. FCC OET
Bulletin 65 establishes an MPE radius of 3 m for the maximum power of your radio
with an antenna having a maximum power gain of 9 dBi. This means that all persons
must be at least 3 m away from the antenna when the radio is transmitting.
Installation Requirements
A) An omnidirectional antenna with a gain not greater than 9 dBi must be mounted at
least 5 m above the highest deck where people may be during radio transmissions,
measured vertically from the lowest point of the antenna. This provides the
minimum separation distance to comply with RF exposure requirements and is
based on the MPE radius of 3 m plus the 2 m height of an adult.
B) For vessels without structure to mount the antenna as described in A, it must be
mounted as follows AND all persons must be outside the 3 m MPE radius during
radio transmissions. The antenna must be mounted so that its lowest point is at
least 1 m vertically above the heads of all persons during radio transmissions.
Radio Operator Requirements
Do not transmit when anyone is within the MPE radius of the antenna unless that
person or persons are shielded from the antenna by a grounded metallic barrier.
This is especially important on vessels with antennas mounted as described in B
where no one may be within 3 m horizontally from the base of the antenna during
transmissions.
Failure to observe the above limits may expose those within the MPE radius to RF
energy absorption in excess of the recommended permissible exposure. It is the
radio operator’s responsibility to ensure that MPE limits are heeded and that no one
is within the MPE radius during transmissions.
Antenna Lead Attachment
Once the antenna is installed, the Coaxial Cable Lead can
be attached to the socket at the back of the transceiver.
CAUTION
Attempting to transmit without an antenna attached
will damage your CobraMarine™VHF radio.

Installation and Start-Up
External Devices and Connections •
Your CobraMarine™VHF radio is set up to connect auxiliary devices for navigation,
convenience and added versatility. As is the case with the antenna, choosing these
devices is best done with the advice and guidance of a knowledgeable dealer. Standard
connectors are provided on the front and back of the transceiver.
Microphone/Speaker Attachment
Connect the Microphone/Speaker to the cord socket located at the left side of
the front of the transceiver.
To connect the microphone/speaker attachment:
1. Align the connector and push it firmly into the socket.
2. Tighten the captive nut to hold the connector in place.
3. Slide the waterproof sleeve over the nut until it seats
in the recess around the socket.
External Speaker (not included)
An External Speaker can provide greater volume to hear messages
than the speaker incorporated in the CobraMarine™microphone/speaker.
To install an external speaker:
1. Connect the speaker lead to the
standard jack on the back of the
transceiver.
Public Address Speaker (Hailer) (not included)
At times, it may be handy to hail other boats or give instructions to line handlers
on the dock. Your CobraMarine™VHF radio can be switched to operate in the Public
Address mode through an attached PA speaker.
To install a public address speaker:
1. Connect the PA speaker lead to the standard
jack on the back of the transceiver.
NOTE
The External Speaker and PA Jack on the back of the
transceiver requires a 3.5 mm standard stereo plug that is

Getting Started
Global Positioning System (GPS) Device (not included)
Cobra Electronics Corporation™strongly recommends that you obtain and connect
aGPS device to your CobraMarine™VHF radio. By having a GPS connected, your
position will be continuously indicated on the LCD and, most importantly, it will
be included automatically in any DSC distress message you may need to send.
That will take the “search” out of “search and rescue.”
To install a GPS device:
1. Install the GPS device in a convenient location
according to its manufacturer’s directions.
2. Bond the NMEA out negative wire to the black
wire of the GPS interface cable.
3. Bond the NMEA out positive wire to the red
wire of the GPS interface cable.
NOTE
When bonding the wires, make sure connections
are secure and properly insulated.
4. Connect the new combination cable to the GPS
device and to the back of the transceiver.
NOTE
Satellite acquisition time is dependent on the
GPS device.

When adjusting the volume while using the microphone/
speaker, press and hold the Volume Up or Volume Down
buttons for rapid advance.

clearly hear the signals you want. You can think of it as a variable barrier that blocks
what you don’t want to hear.
Tosquelch your radio:

turn the On-Off/Volume knob clockwise until you
hear a hissing (noise) sound.
NOTE
