Getting Started
Getting Started
Refer to the foldout at the front of this manual to identify the
various controls and indicators on your radio. Throughout
this manual you will be instructed to “Press” or to “Press
and Hold” various buttons (except “Push to Talk”) on the
radio. “Press” means a momentary press of approximately
one (1) second. “Press and Hold” means to hold the button
down for approximately two (2) seconds.
Whenever you press any button except the Talk button on
your radio, a brief tone (beep) (if key tones are selected On)
will sound to confirm the button press. With all button
presses, the appropriate icon will appear on the LCD and the
backlight will turn On. The backlight will stay On for 10
seconds after the button is released.
At times, you will hear two (2) other sounds. Two (2) beeps
will sound to confirm your setting changes and three (3)
beeps will sound to notify you of an error.

Batteries and Charger
Maintaining the Battery Charge
As you use your radio, the battery power icon will show the
battery power remaining. When the icon begins to flash, it is
time to recharge or change the batteries.
NOTE
Radio will continue to receive signals when blinking
but cannot transmit.
NOTICE
Use only the drop-in charger provided by Cobra. Do
not use the charger with alkaline batteries; only the
LiON battery pack is rechargeable. Spent alkaline
batteries must be discarded and replaced.
It is a good idea to keep a set of fresh, high-quality AA
alkaline batteries with your radio. Should the rechargeable
battery pack become discharged and no electrical power
source is available, you can insert the optional alkaline
battery tray with fresh alkaline batteries and continue to
use your radio.
