INSTALLATION

SPEAKERS/NOISE INTERFERENCE

12

EXTERNAL SPEAKER INSTALLATION

1.Mount external speaker in desired location.

2.Plug jack into the back of the Connector Box labled EXT.

*The external speaker should have 4-8 ohms impedance and be able to handle at least 4 watts.

IGNITION NOISE INTERFERENCE

The alternator and ignition system in your vehicle may limit your ability to receive low signal levels. Other noise interference can be the result of several different installation variables. Consult your Cobra dealer or a 2-way radio technician to help locate and correct the source of severe noise interference.

HOW SOUNDTRACKER WORKS

13

SOUNDTRACKER SYSTEM

While previous systems only “blanked out” or limited noise in higher sound frequencies, the revolutionary new SoundTracker System actually reduces noise while leaving the signal intact in the reception mode. In the transmission mode, it actually strengthens the signal, providing you with a significant reduction in noise on reception and transmission.

Sound clarity is measured by the ratio of the signal level to the noise level. The higher the signal-to-noise ratio, the better the sound.

HOW SOUNDTRACKER WORKS

On Reception “Cuts Noise Coming In”

With a normal CB, distant signals fall below the squelch level and are unintelligible. With a SoundTracker CB, the noise level is cut by up to 90%, which increases the signal-to-noise ratio and dramatically improves signal clarity. This also allows you to significantly reduce the squelch level, which greatly expands your listening range.

On Transmission“Strengthens Signals Going Out”

A SoundTracker CB strengthens the transmit signal by more effectively using the available RF power output of the CB.The result is improved transmission signal clarity and an expanded transmission range.
