On-Off/Volume Knob Turning on Your Mobile Radio

Turn the On-Off/Volumeknob clockwise to turn the power on and set the desired listening volume.

CB Antenna

Only a properly matched Antenna system will

allow maximum power output. In mobile installations (cars, trucks, boats, etc.), an Antenna system that is non-directional should be used. When installed in a boat, the transceiver will not operate at maximum efficiency without a ground plate unless the vessel has a steel hull. Before installing the transceiver

in a boat, consult your dealer for information regarding an adequate grounding system.

NOTE

Cobra loaded-type antenna models HGA 1000 and HGA 1500 are highly recommended for most installations. Consult your Cobra dealer for further details (or see order form on page 17).

Three-way combination antennas are available which allow operation of all three bands (AM-FM and CB), using a single antenna. However, use of this type of antenna usually results in less than normal transmit and receive range when compared to a standard-type “Single Band” antenna designed for CB only.

Microphone Connector Microphone Connector

Allows for convenient removal of the Microphone plug when storage is required. The Microphone MUST be connected to the unit at all times, when in use, for proper operation.
