Important Safety Information
General Precautions
The following
WARNINGS
and
NOTICES
will make you aware of RF exposure
hazards and how to assure you operate the radio within the recommended RF
exposure limits established for it.
WARNINGS
Your CobraMarine 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 (beyond recommended
allowable limits for occupational use):
ALWAYS
hold the radio, especially the antenna, at least 5,1 cm [2 in.] away from
you when you are transmitting.
NEVER
allow the antenna to touch any part of your body when transmitting.
KEEP
the radio and antenna at least as far from bystanders as from yourself.
DO NOT
operate the radio without the supplied antenna or a Cobra Electronics
Corporation
™
authorized replacement attachment. In addition to the RF energy
exposure hazard, doing so may damage the radio.
DO NOT
transmit more than 50% of the time the radio is in use — 50%
duty cycle. The radio is transmitting when the
Talk
button is pressed and
the
Transmit
icon shows on the LCD screen.
ALWAYS
use only Cobra Electronics Corporation authorized accessories (antennas,
batteries, belt clips, etc.).
DO NOT
operate the radio where RF energy generated during transmission
may cause electromagnetic interference or incompatibility with other devices
or systems. This includes aircraft, blasting sites and hospitals.
TURN OFF
the radio in explosive atmospheres and where signs are posted
prohibiting radio transmissions.
Failure to observe any of these warnings may cause you to exceed
recommended RF exposure limits or create other dangerous conditions.
