3. Wait for 10 seconds before inserting
the new battery, ensuring the correct
polarity (+ sign upwards) and holding
the battery by the edge.
4. Close the case firmly making sure
locating studs are correctly positioned
to ensure a waterproof seal is made.
5. The remote key should now operate
normally, but it may require re-
synchronisation with the main control
unit.
If, at any time, the remote key does not
operate the system, stand close to the car
and press and hold down both buttons
until the LED on the remote key goes out -
approximately 10 seconds. Release both
buttons - the LED will come on constantly.
Then press button ‘A' for approximately 1
second - the LED will flash - this should
complete re-synchronisation. In case of
difficulties please consult your Cobra
Dealer.
The emergency override touch key can be
used to disarm/de-immobilise your Cobra
8165 Alarm System in the event of lost or
damaged radio keys. If your car is locked
use your door key to enter the car and
touch the Emergency Override Touch Key
on the contacts of the touch receptacle -
this will disarm and de-immobilise the
security system if this optional feature has
been selected. If the system was fully
‘armed' the siren will sound until
disarming has taken place. The car can
then be started in the normal way.
