International/Canada/USA Channel Maps
Three (3) sets of VHF Channel Maps have been established
for marine use: International, Canada and USA. Most of the
channels are the same for all three (3) maps, but there are
definite differences (see table in the Apendix on page 39).
Your radio has all three (3) maps built into it and will operate
correctly in whichever area you choose.
To Set Channel Map Operating Area:
1. The Channel Map mode is the second mode on
the Marine (VHF) Setup programming.
2. U, I and C will display, with the current setting
(the I icon is the default) flashing.
3. Press Channel Up/Down button to select the
I, C or U icon.
4. Press Call/Enter/Setup button to save this entry
and move to the next Setup mode programming.
NOTE
One or two of the channel maps might have been
disabled for sales of this radio in some countries.
Call Tone Alert
If Call Tone Alert is set to On, the radio will alert you to a call
from a compatible Cobra radio with a Call Alert.
To Set Call Tone On or Off:
1. Display will show Call Tone icon and ON or OFF
flashing.
2. Press Channel UP/Down button to select ON or OFF.
3. Press the Call/Enter/Setup button to save this entry
and move to the next Setup mode programming. The
Call Tone icon will show in the Standby mode when
set to ON.

This setting will also allow you to transmit a unique
Call Tone alert to identify your radio when you transmit
messages. You can select from one of 10 different
Call Tone signals.

button until you hear a hissing sound, then press
and release the Channel Up button until the hissing
