Do not usesolvents or harsh or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the case or scratchthe LCD screen.■ If the radio is exposed to salt water, wipe with a soft, moist cloth at least once a day toprevent buildup of salt deposits, which could interfere with button operation.■ If the radio will be stored for a long period, such as over the winter, remove the batteries from the battery tray and store them in a separate package. This is especially important if you are using alkaline batteries.Troubleshooting •27Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra®10222_MRHH125_En_F.qxp 6/28/07 5:03 PM Page 27
VHF Marine Radio Protocols28 EnglishVHF Marine RadioProceduresVHF Marine Radio Procedures •Maintain Your Watch Whenever your boat is underway, the radio must be turned On and be tuned toChannel 16 except when being used for messages.PowerTry 1 watt first if the station being called is within a few miles. If there is no answer,switch to 3 watts and call again. Remember, the lower wattage output will conserveyour battery and minimize interference to other users.Calling Coast Stations Call a coast station on its assigned channel. You may use Channel 16 when you donot know the assigned channel.Calling Other Vessels Call other vessels on Channel 16 or on Channel 9. (Channel 9 is preferred forrecreational vessel use.) You may also call on ship-to-ship channels when you know that the vessel is listening on a ship-to-ship channel.Initial Calling on Channel 16 or 9The use of Channel 16 is permitted for making initial contact (hailing) anothervessel. The limits on calling must be followed. Be reminded, Channel 16’s mostimportant function is for Emergency Messages. If for some reason, Channel 16 is congested, the use of Channel 9, especially in U.S. waters, may be used as theinitial contact (hailing) channel for non-emergency communication.Limits on CallingYou must not call the same station for more than 30 seconds at a time. If you do not get a reply, wait at least two (2) minutes before calling again. After three (3) calling periods, wait at least 15 minutes before calling again.Change ChannelsAfter contacting another station on a calling channel, change immediately to a channel which is available for the type of message you want to send.Station IdentificationIdentify, in English, your station by your FCC call sign, vessel name or the stateregistration number, at both the beginning and at the end of the message.10222_MRHH125_En_F.qxp 6/28/07 5:03 PM Page 28
VHF Marine Radio Protocols29Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra®VHF Marine RadioProceduresProhibited CommunicationsYou MUST NOT transmit:■ False distress or emergency messages.■ Messages containing obscene, indecent or profane language.■ General calls, signals or messages (messages not addressed to a particularstation) on Channel 16, except in an emergency or if you are testing your radio.■ When you are on land.10222_MRHH125_En_F.qxp 6/28/07 5:03 PM Page 29
VHF Marine Radio ProtocolsFor Example30 EnglishVoice CallingVoice Calling •You are required to listen to Channel 16 while standing by. Channel 16 is thedistress and safety channel used for establishing initial contact with another stationand for emergency communication. The Coast Guard also monitors Channel 16 forsafety purposes for everyone on the water.NOTEChannel 9 may be used by recreational vessels for general-purpose calling. This frequency should be used whenever possible to help relieve congestion on Channel 16. The Coast Guard generally does not make urgent marineinformation broadcasts or weather warnings on Channel 9. Boaters are stillasked to “keep watch” on Channel 16 whenever the radio is turned on and not in use with another station.To call another vessel or shore installation (e.g, lock or bridge tender):■Make sure the radio is On.■Make sure you are in standby listening mode on Channel 16. Make sureChannel 16 is not in use. ■When the channel is open (quiet), press the Talk button and call a vessel. Holdthe radio or microphone several inches from your face and speak clearly anddistinctly in a normal voice tone. Say “name or station being called,” “THIS IS[your vessel name or call sign].”■Once contact is made, you must leave Channel 16 and go to another workingchannel. See channel listing in the appendix.The vessel Corsair is calling the vessel Vagabond:Corsair: “Vagabond, this is Corsair. Over.”Vagabond: “Please switch and answer on Channel 68 (or any proper workingchannel). Over.”Corsair: “Switching to Channel 68. Over.”10222_MRHH125_En_F.qxp 6/28/07 5:03 PM Page 30
VHF Marine Radio Protocols31Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra®Voice Calling &Radiotelephone Calls■If the other party does not respond, wait two (2) minutes and repeat. You arepermitted to attempt contact three (3) times, two (2) minutes apart. If you stillhave not made contact, wait 15 minutes before trying again.■After communications are completed, each vessel must sign off with its callsign or vessel name and the word “out” and return to Channel 16.NOTEFor best sound quality at the station you are calling, hold the microphone onthe front of the radio at least 2 in. (51 mm) from your mouth and slightly off toone (1) side. Speak in a normal tone of voice.NOTE“Over and Out”The most commonly misused procedure words are “over and out” within thesame transmission. “Over” means you expect a reply. “Out” means you arefinished and do not expect a reply.Radiotelephone Calls •Boaters may make and receive radiotelephone calls to and from any number on the telephone network by using the services of public coast stations. For a fee, calls can be made between your radio and telephones on land, sea and in the air. See the appendix for the public correspondence (marine operator) channels.If you plan to use these services, consider registering with the operator of the public coast station that you plan to work through. These services can provide you with detailed information and procedures to follow.NOTICEYou may disclose privileged information during a radiotelephone call. Keep in mind that your transmission is NOT private, as it is on a regular telephone. Both sides of the conversation are being broadcast and can be heard by anyone who has a radio and tunes to the channel you are using.10222_MRHH125_En_F.qxp 6/28/07 5:03 PM Page 31
Marine Emergency SignalsThe three (3) spoken international emergency signals are:The distress signal MAYDAY is used to indicate that a station is threatened by graveand imminent danger and requests immediate assistance.The urgency signal PAN PAN is used when the safety of the vessel or person is injeopardy. (This signal is properly pronounced pahn pahn.)The safety signal SECURITE is used for messages about the safety of navigation orimportant weather warnings. (This signal is properly pronounced see-cure-ee-tay.)When using an international emergency signal, the appropriate signal is to bespoken three (3) times prior to the message.MAYDAYPAN PANSECURITEVHF Marine Radio Protocols32 EnglishEmergency Messages andDistress ProcedureEmergency Messages and Distress Procedure •The ability to summon assistance in an emergency is the primary reason to have aVHF marine radio. The marine environment can be unforgiving, and what may initiallybe a minor problem can rapidly develop into a situation beyond your control.The Coast Guard monitors Channel 16, responds to all distress calls, and coordinatesall search and rescue efforts. Depending on the availability of other capable vessels orcommercial assistance operators in your vicinity, Coast Guard or Coast GuardAuxiliary craft may be dispatched.In any event, communicate with the Coast Guard as soon as you experience difficultiesand before your situation becomes an emergency. Use the emergency messageprocedures only after your situation has become grave or you are faced with a suddendanger threatening life or property and requiring immediate help. Use Channel 16 tocommunicate your emergency message. Make sure you transmit on high power. Ifyou are merely out of gas, do not send an emergency message. Drop your anchor and call a friend or marina to bring the fuel you need or to give you a tow.10222_MRHH125_En_F.qxp 6/28/07 5:03 PM Page 32
VHF Marine Radio Protocols33Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra®Emergency Messages andDistress ProcedureIf You Hear a Distress CallYou must give any message beginning with one (1) of these signals priority over anyother messages. ALL stations MUST remain silent on Channel 16 for the duration ofthe emergency unless the message relates directly to the emergency.If you hear a distress message from a vessel, stand by your radio. If it is notanswered, YOU should answer. If the distressed vessel is not nearby, wait a shorttime for others who may be closer to acknowledge. Even if you cannot render directassistance, you may be in a position to relay the message.Marine Distress ProcedureSpeak slowly — clearly — calmly.1. Make sure your radio is On.2. Select Channel 16.3. Press Talk button and say: “MAYDAY — MAYDAY — MAYDAY.” (Or “PAN PAN— PAN PAN— PAN PAN,” or “SECURITE — SECURITE — SECURITE.”)4. Say: “THIS IS [your vessel name or call sign],” repeated three (3) times.5. Say: “MAYDAY (or “PAN PAN” or “SECURITE”) [your vessel name or call sign].6. Tell where you are: (what navigational aids or landmarks are nearby).7. State the nature of your distress.8. State the kind of assistance needed.9. Give number of persons aboard and conditions of any injured.10. Estimate present seaworthiness of your vessel.11. Briefly describe your vessel (length, type, color, hull).12. Say: “I WILL BE LISTENING ON CHANNEL 16.”13. End message by saying: “THIS IS [your vessel name or call sign]. OVER.”14. Release Talk button and listen. Someone should answer. If not, repeat the call, beginning at step 3 above.Keep the radio nearby. Even after your message has been received, the Coast Guardcan find you more quickly if you can transmit a signal for a rescue boat to hone in on.10222_MRHH125_En_F.qxp 6/28/07 5:03 PM Page 33
For ExampleVHF Marine Radio Protocols34 EnglishEmergency Messages and Distress Procedure“Mayday — Mayday — Mayday”“This is Corsair — Corsair — Corsair” [or “IL 1234 AB,” repeated three (3) times]“Mayday Corsair (or IL 1234 AB)”“Navy Pier bears 220 degrees magnetic — distance 5 miles”“Struck submerged object and flooding — need pump and tow”“Four (4) adults, three (3) children aboard — no one injured”“Estimate we will remain afloat one-half hour”“Corsair (or IL 1234 AB) is 26 ft sloop with blue hull and tan deck house”“I will be listening on Channel 16”“This is Corsair (or IL 1234 AB)”“Over”It is a good idea to write out a script of the message form and post it where you and others on your vessel can see it when an emergency message needs to be sent.10222_MRHH125_En_F.qxp 6/28/07 5:03 PM Page 34

AppendixVHF Marine Channel AssignmentsNOTEMany of the plain-numbered channels, such as 01, 02 and 03, transmit andreceive on different frequencies. This is termed duplex operation. The rest of theplain-numbered channels and all of the A channels, such as 01A, 03A and04A, transmit and receive on a single frequency, which is termed simplexoperation. Your radio automatically adjusts to these conditions. When in simplexoperation, the A icon will appear on the LCD (see illustration on page A3).NOTEAll channels are preprogrammed at the factory according to internationalregulations and those of the FCC (U.S.A.) and Industry Canada (Canada).They cannot be altered by the user nor can modes of operation be changedbetween simplex and duplex.NOTAMuchos de los canales de números simples, como 01, 02 y 03, transmiten y reciben en diferentes frecuencias. A esto se le llama operación dúplex. Elresto de los canales de números simples y todos los canales A, como 01A,03A y 04A, transmiten y reciben en una sola frecuencia, a la que se le llamaoperación simple (simplex). Su radio se ajusta automáticamente a estascondiciones. Cuando esté en operación simple, el icono A aparecerá en lapantalla de cristal líquido (vea la ilustración de la página A3).NOTATodos los canales vienen programados previamente de fábrica conformea los reglamentos internacionales y a los de la FCC (EE.
