Initial charge

The Cobra

®

provided NiMH batteries can be Charged

at home, in your automobile or in your boat using the

appropriate 12 or 120 volt power cord with the charger.

1. Insert one of the power cords into the back of the

drop-in charging cradle.

2. Insert the other end of the power cord into the

appropriate 12 or 120 volt power source.

3. Insert the radio into the charger. The metal pads

on the radio will contact mating pads in the charger

to transfer the charging current.

4. Observe that the red light on the front of the charger

glows to indicate that the radio is properly seated and

the charger is operating.

5. Allow the batteries to charge for 12 to 15 hours.

WARNING

Only the rechargeable NiMH batteries

can be recharged.

NOTE

If the drop-in charger is to be used on a boat,

Cobra

®

recommends you attach it to a shelf or

bulkhead (using the screw holes provided) to

prevent damage due to the boat rolling or pitching.

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.

You can monitor incoming calls while the radio is charging.

However, you should remove it from the charger to transmit.

Charging will be quicker if the radio is turned off.

CAUTION

Use only the drop-in charger provided by Cobra

®

.

Do not use the charger with alkaline batteries; only

the NiMH batteries are rechargeable. Spent alkaline

batteries must be discarded and replaced.

It is a good idea to keep a set of fresh, high quality alkaline

batteries with your radio. Should the rechargeable batteries

become discharged and no electrical power source be

available, you can insert the alkaline batteries and continue

to use your radio until you can return to using the

rechargeable ones.
