Channel Scan Mode
During Channel Scan mode, the radio will rapidly switch
from channel to channel through ALL the channels. Whenever
any activity is detected, the radio will stop the scan for 10
seconds to allow you to listen briefly on that channel. The
radio will then continue to scan unless you switch out of the
Channel Scan mode.
To Enter Channel Scan:
1.
From
Marine Standby
mode, press and hold the
DUAL WATCH/SCAN
button. The radio will immediately
begin to scan the entire channel map selected in
the active channel map. The
SCAN
icon will show
on the LCD.
2. A signal on any channel will stop the scan for
10 seconds to allow you to listen to the traffic
on that location.
3. Press the Channel Up or Channel Down button
to resume scanning the Channel Scan channels
or to change the scan direction.
4. To EXIT Channel Scan mode, press and hold the
DUAL WATCH/SCAN button again. The SCAN icon
will disappear from the LCD and the radio will
return to
Marine Standby mode.

Maintenance
•
Very little maintenance is required to keep your Cobra Marine VHF radio
in good operating condition:
n
Keep the radio clean by wiping with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use
solvents or harsh or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the case or scratch
the LCD screen.
n
If the radio is exposed to salt water, wipe with a soft, moist cloth at least once a day to
prevent buildup of salt deposits, which could interfere with button operation.
n
If the radio will be stored for a long period, such as over the winter,
remove the batteries from the battery tray and store them in a separate
package. This is especially important if you are using alkaline batteries.
