Initial Charge

The Cobra-provided lithium-ion (LiON) battery pack may be charged at home, in a car or in a boat using the appropriate 12V DC or 220V AC 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 DC or 220V AC power source.

3.Remove the spacer from the charger and insert the entire radio into the charger. The metal charge contacts on the radio 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 three (3) to four (4) hours before use. The light will change back to green when the battery is fully charged.

WARNING

Only the rechargeable lithium-ion (LiON) 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 lithium- ion (LiON) 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.
