Customer Assistance Customer Assistance Caution Warranty Introduction General Precautions Intro Operation Customer Warranty General Precautions Assistance • 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. Installation Customer Assistance WARNINGSSecondary Icons Your radio generates electromagnetic RF (radio frequency) energy when it is transmitting. Warning 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 fNrooticme yourseClafutaionnd otherWsawrnihngen 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 or microphone/speaker where they 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. 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 Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépassepas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. 2 English Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra® 3
