Operation and Frequently Asked Questions
n
What is the Industry Standard Range for Bluetooth
®
Wireless Technology?
The industry standard range for Bluetooth wireless technology is 30 feet (10 meters) .
The radio will loose its pairing with the mobile phone if the mobile phone and the radio
are separated farther than this . The radio will automatically reconnect with the mobile
phone when the user comes back into range .
n
How many phones can the radio pair with?
The radio can be paired with up to 8 mobile phones . However, it can only connect and
operate with one mobile phone at a time .
n
Do I need to have my mobile phone with me?
Yes, the phone call is actually completed through your mobile phone and your mobile
phone operator/carrier . The mobile phone must be with the 30 feet (10 meters) range
of the radio . The radio does not increase the offshore range of your mobile phone .
n
Can I use a standard Bluetooth
®
headset with this radio?
No, the radio is using the headset profile of the Bluetooth specification to pair with your
mobile phone . It cannot pair to another Bluetooth headset .
n
Can I use this unit as a speakerphone or hands-free device?
Turning on VOX allows you to use the radio without pressing the PTT (Push to Talk)
button . The radio will still need to be operated in a face held position with the
microphone close to the mouth . This radio uses a noise canceling microphone, and it
will not operate well from the belt clip or another hands-free position .
n
Please make sure to note your VOX setting.
If VOX is set to On, then the receiving caller might hear conversation and noise in your
background . This setting is retained in memory . If switched On, then it will be On the
next time the radio is switched On and connected .
n
Can I use my mobile phone for emergency use?
No, Cobra does not endorse cellular telephones as a substitute for marine radios . They
generally cannot communicate with rescue vessels and, if you make a distress call on your
cellular telephone, only the party you call will be able to hear you .
Additionally, cellular telephones may have limited coverage over water . If you do not
know where you are, the Coast Guard will have difficulty finding you if you are using
your cellular telephone . However, cellular telephones can have a place onboard where
cellular coverage is available – to allow social conversations and keep the marine
frequencies uncluttered and available for their intended use .
