Batteries and Charger
•
The radio is shipped with a sealed NiMH (Nickel-Metal
Hydride) (P/N CM 110-009) battery pack that is
rechargeable.
WARNING
The charger provided for this radio is only to be used
to charge the battery pack provided. Do Not charge
any other type of batteries in the charger as fire,
explosion or battery damage will occur. Avoiding
extreme room temperatures will also help prolong the
life of the battery pack for the radio.
When your rechargeable batteries begin to discharge too
quickly, it is time to install a new battery pack. Your radio
will also operate with six (6) high-quality AA alkaline
batteries, using the optional alkaline battery tray.
Installing the Battery Pack
1. Position the battery pack to line up the two (2) external
alignment tabs to the alignment slots in the radio.
2. Engage the battery pack into the radio until battery pack
is fully seated against the radio housing.
3. Pivot the locking tab up until it snaps into place on the
back of the battery pack.

Initial Charge
The Cobra-provided NiMH battery pack may be charged at
home, in a car or in a boat using the appropriate 12V or
120V power cord with the charger.
1. Insert one (1) of the power cords into the back of the
drop-in charger.
2. Insert the other end of the power cord into the
appropriate 12V or 120V power source.
3. Remove the spacer from the charger and insert the entire
radio/battery into the charger. The metal charge contacts
on the battery will contact the mating prongs 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 battery pack is properly seated
and the charger is operating.
5. Allow the batteries to charge for 12 to 14 hours before
use.
WARNING
Only the rechargeable NiMH battery pack can
be recharged. You MUST use one of the charging
devices provided with this radio. Do not substitute
any other type of charging adapter or charger base
for this radio. Battery damage, fire or explosion may
result. It is equally important to prevent the NiMH
battery pack from freezing to obtain best performance
from the battery pack.
NOTE
If the drop-in charger is used on a boat, Cobra
recommends you attach it to a horizontal shelf or
vertical bulkhead (using the screw holes provided) to
prevent possible damage due to the boat rolling or
pitching. The charging base has been designed to hold
the battery pack in place during rough sea conditions.
