Batteries and Charger

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.
