Ignition Noise Interference

Use of a mobile receiver at low signal levels is nor- mally limited by the presence of electrical noise. Under most operating conditions, when signal level is adequate, the background noise does not present a serious problem. Also, when extremely low level signals are being received, the transceiver may be operated with vehicle engine turned off. The unit requires very little current and therefore will not significantly discharge the vehicle battery.

Even though this radio has an automatic noise lim- iter, in some installations ignition interference may be high enough to make good communications impossible. Consult your COBRA dealer or a 2-way radio technician for help in locating and correcting the source of severe noise.

Temporary Mobile Operation

For temporary mobile operation, you may want to purchase an additional cigarette lighter adapter from your COBRA dealer.This adapter and a mag- netic mount antenna allow you to quickly "install" your transceiver for temporary use.
