[. . . ] 400-BR-F 6/23/04 2:09 PM Page 1 Introduction Our Thanks to You and Customer Assistance Thank you for purchasing a CobraMarineTM VHF radio. Properly used, this product will give you many years of reliable service. How Your CobraMarineTM VHF Radio Works This radio is a battery powered portable transceiver for use afloat. It gives you 2-way vessel-to-vessel and vessel-to-shore station communications, primarily for safety and secondarily for navigation and operational purposes. [. . . ] CAUTION The charger is to be used for charging purposes only. It is not to be used during normal operation. Battery Compartment Lock Installing the Batteries 1. Open the battery compartment by turning the screw anticlockwise 1/4 turn. Slide the empty battery tray out of the radio. Align the batteries with the slots in the battery tray and insert them. Be sure to match the polarity markings on the batteries with those on the tray. Slide the full battery tray into the radio. Be sure the seal is in its groove and not pinched between the tray and the body of the radio. Turn the screw 1/4 turn clockwise to lock the battery tray in place. After the NiMH batteries are installed in the radio, they will need to be charged before they can be used. CAUTION The gasket on the base of the battery pack is essential for the radio to be waterproof. Be certain that it is not dislodged and that it fits properly into the radio. Please dispose of the old ones properly. Some marine suppliers accept old batteries for recycling and many municipal waste disposal agencies have special provisions for battery disposal.

A UK compatible adapter is included if required. Insert one of the power cords into the back of the drop-in charging cradle. Insert the other end of the power cord into the appropriate AC or 12 volt power source. The metal pads on the radio will contact mating pads in the charger to transfer the charging current. Observe that the red light on the front of the charger glows to indicate that the radio is properly seated and the charger is operating. Allow the batteries to charge for 12 to 15 hours. WARNING Only the rechargeable NiMH batteries can be recharged. NOTE If the drop-in charger is to be used on a boat, CobraMarineTM recommends you attach it to a shelf or bulkhead (using the screw holes provided) to prevent damage due to the boat rolling or pitching.
