Today all the tools we have on the boat are carefully designed for the specific use in the marine environment, with the only exception of our precious mobile phone that we introduce in this totally adverse environment.
For this reason Cobra Marine® has created the MR F300 BT EU model that allows you to store your mobile phone in a safe place to be controlled via this completely waterproof microphone and designed specifically to improve the quality of communications by filtering the background noises normally present on a 'boat.
The connection with the mobile phone takes place in a simple way via Bluetooth wireless technology and on the microphone there are all the call features that we are used to with our mobile phone. It is also possible to connect the microphone to the boat's stereo system, in order to listen to our interlocutor with the power of an amplified system.
Installation on board the microphone is quick and fast and rarely takes more than 30 minutes.
The conversation takes place in a simplex way, that is in the same way in which we are used to the VHF. In practice, to transmit your voice you will have to press the PTT key (key for transmission) and to listen to the interlocutor you will have to release it.
However, the VOX function is available, which allows you to speak automatically (without the need to press the PTT key), but it is not recommended to use it when there are other environmental noises such as the boat's engine access.
Music Mode Feature - New feature 2011
Today this precious device can also be used to connect your mobile phone to the boat's stereo, so you can comfortably listen to any song on your mobile phone on the boat.
In fact, once the ml'F300 is connected to the stereo of the boat, it will be easy to listen to any piece of music that is launched from the mobile phone.
