SafetyTrainingInformation This CobraMarine radio is designed for and classified as "Occupational Use Only." It must only be used in the course of employment by individuals aware of both the hazards and the ways to minimize those hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use in an uncontrolled environment by the "General Population." This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for "Occupational Use Only." This CobraMarine VHF radio also complies with the following guidelines and standards regarding RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels as well as evaluation of those levels for human exposure: I FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields. I American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. I American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields - RF and Microwave. 2 English Introduction ImportantSafetyInformation The following WARNINGS and CAUTIONS will make you aware of RF exposure hazards and how to assure you operate the radio within the FCC RF exposure limits established for it. WARNINGS Your radio generates electromagnetic RF (radio frequency) energy when it is transmitting. To insure that you and those around you are not exposed to excessive amounts of that energy, DO NOT touch the antenna when transmitting and KEEP yourself and all others on your vessel the required distance away from the antenna while transmitting. SEE page 20 in the antenna requirements section for further information. DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna or equivalent dummy load attached. Doing so may expose you to excessive RF energy and will 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 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 connect the transceiver to AC power. It can be a fire hazard, may cause an electric shock, and may damage the transceiver. NEVER mount the transceiver or microphone 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. NOTE Throughout this manual, the term "Transceiver" will be used to identify the main unit containing the LCD screen and controls. The term "Radio" will be used to identify the entire equipment including transceiver, microphone, antenna and any attached external speakers. NothingComes Close to a Cobra® 3
