General Precautions
•
The following
WARNINGS
and
NOTICE
information will make you aware of RF exposure hazards and
how to assure you operate the radio within the FCC RF exposure limits established for the radio.
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.
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 where it 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.

Safety Training Information
This CobraMarine VHF radio complies with the following guidelines and standards
regarding RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels as well as evaluation of those
levels for human exposure:
n
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC
Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
n
American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels
with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz
to 300 GHz.
n
American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for
the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic
Fields — RF and Microwave.
n
Industry Canada RSS-102-Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure Compliance of
Radiocommunication Apparatus (All Frequency bands).
Conformité d’exposition de la fréquence du Canada RSS-102-Radio d’industrie (rf) de

Introduction
The device complies with RF specifications when the device is used at a distance 25mm from
your front face and 0mm from your body, Maximun SAR Value (1g): 5.76 W/Kg.
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.
