When connected to a p o w e r s o u rce, the system needs to be turned on to operate and can remain
on for as long as it is in use. After a period of inactivity, the system will either enter sleep mode
(see below) or turn itself off using SmartPower (see page 21) to avoid draining the vehicle battery.
When the system is off:
1. Press and hold the POWER button on the left side of the unit until the function buttons
are illuminated.
The system will turn on and the  Cobra screen A will appear on the LCD. The  Cobra screen
will be visible briefly, then change to the  PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY screen B. This safety
reminder appears following each start-up and must be acknowledged before proceeding.
When the system is on:
1. Press the POWER button on the left side of the unit.
The system will retain information to be recalled when it is turned on again.
The  Display Saver screen C conserves power and the life of the LCD whenever the system is in sleep
mode. Sleep mode is activated automatically if the user takes no action at the  PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY
screen B for ten seconds after it appears. This occurs only at the  PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY screen B
and is different from a SmartPower shutdown. (See page 21 for information on SmartPower.)
