Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra

®

Please try the Sea Tow Automated Radio Check service .  Areas where the safety check service 

is available include the East Coast, Gulf of Mexico, Southern California, and select inland 

locations including the Great Lakes .  The first and only boating safety program of its kind, the 

Sea Tow Automated Radio Check service is fully automated and allows 24 hour a day automated 

responses to radio check calls .
Conducting a radio check through the Sea Tow Automated Radio Check service couldn’t be 

simpler .  All boaters need to do is tune their VHF radio to Channel 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 or 84 

(channel varies by location), then key the mic and ask for a radio check .  The system responds 

to each radio check with an automated reply including the location, and also replays the boater’s 

original radio transmission, allowing them to assess the strength of the signal and confirm the 

VHF radio is in good working order .
To find the Sea Tow Automated Radio Check service channel in an area boaters, radio owners 

should visit www .seatow .com/arc . The web page allows you to search for the local channel and 

has an instructional video on how to use the service step by step .

CobraMarine VHF radios comply with the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) 

requirements that regulate the Maritime Radio Service .
This CobraMarine radio incorporates a VHF FM transceiver designed for use in the frequency 

range of 156 .025 to 163 .275 MHz . It has a switchable RF output power of one (1), three (3)  

or six (6) watts .
The transceiver is capable of Class-D (Digital Selective Calling) operation in accordance with 

CFR Part 47, Section 80,225 . 
The radio operates on all currently allocated marine channels and is switchable for use 

according to U .S .A ., International or Canadian regulations . It features instant access to 

emergency Channel 16 and calling Channel 9 as well as NOAA (National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration) All Hazards Radio with Alert .

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 .

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 .

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 .

NOTICE  
Your radio is waterproof only when the batteries are properly installed .
AVOID using or storing the radio at temperatures below -4˚F (-20˚C) or above  
140˚F (60˚C) .
KEEP your radio at least 3 ft (0 .9 m) away from your vessel’s magnetic  
navigation compass .
DO NOT attempt to service any internal parts yourself . Have any necessary  
service performed by a qualified technician .
This radio is supplied with a lithium-ion (LiON) rechargeable battery pack .

n

   Use only the Cobra charger to recharge lithium-ion (LiON) batteries in the radio .

n

   Do not short circuit the battery pack .

n

      When replacing the batteries, dispose of the old batteries properly . Batteries  

may explode if disposed of in a fire .

CAUTION Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type . Dispose of used 
batteries according to the instructions .
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 .
