Burp Feature
Burp Feature
Cobra’s
Burp
feature allows the operator to expel water from
inside the speaker grill. This is especially useful if the radio is
dropped overboard or during extreme foul weather conditions. In
these conditions, water can become trapped in the speaker grill
and muffle the audio.
To Activate Burp:
1.
Press and release the
16/9
and
SCAN
keys at the
same time.
2.
The
Burp
tone(s) at maximum level will sound
from the internal speaker for eight seconds.
3.
During this time, the matrix will display
BURP
.
4.
Hold the radio with the speaker grill down to help
the water drain out.
5.
After an 8-second interval, the radio will return to
standby.

Floating Radio
Floating Radio
This radio is designed to float if dropped overboard. The orange
center makes it visible and easy to retrieve. This rugged radio is
also designed to meet JIS7 (IPX7) specifications. This means it’s
designed to operate properly after being submerged in one meter
deep water for 30 minutes.
NOTE
Do not leave the radio floating in water permanently. This
could cause premature corrosion of the battery contacts and
other damage.
The radio is only designed to float with its included Lithium-
ion battery. Using other approved batteries might cause
the radio to sink. This includes the optional AA battery tray,
depending on the weight of the AA batteries used.
