Available in tethered and portable versions, Cortex touchscreen handsets are the ultimate interface for your Cortex system. They put the best in VHF communications and AIS situational awareness right at your fingertips — no matter where you are on your boat. Features Add multiple Cortex handsets to a Cortex V1 or VHF-ready Cortex M1 hub for more control in more places. Enjoy easy one-hand operation with your handset’s touchscreen, click-wheel and dedicated select keys. The handset’s high-fidelity speaker delivers up to 85 dBA of crystal-clear audio for superior VHF communication. You can quickly initiate DSC direct calls by tapping the AIS boat symbol on the handset’s touchscreen. Communicate and control from anywhere onboard with Wi-Fi® handset connectivity to your Cortex hub. The unit’s 4” touchscreen and rugged case are built to withstand harsh, wet marine environments. Connect to Your Cortex: Paired with your Cortex hub, the Cortex H1 tethered or H1P portable handset serves as the control and voice-calling interface for VHF, DSC calling and AIS display of potential collision risks. You can optionally add extra Cortex handsets (sold separately) for even more freedom and control on board. ONE-TOUCH Dsc: Cortex lets you initiate DSC direct calls with other vessels by simply tapping the vessel icon on your handset. Initiate VHF calls to friends or quickly hail another vessel when every second counts. ALL-WEATHER Control: Wet hands or wearing gloves? No problem. Cortex handsets are glove-friendly and they provide responsive multi-touch, pinch-to-zoom and onscreen panning control in all types of marine environments. The 4” Corning® Gorilla® Glass touchscreen offers superior durability against impact and abrasion. Sunlight Viewable Screen: The handset’s bright, optically bonded LCD display offers brilliant daylight visibility with optical clarity over a wide viewing angle. The screen is readable, even if you’re wearing polarized glasses.
