NOTICE

NiMH batteries are toxic. Please dispose of properly. Some marine suppliers accept old batteries for recycling and some municipal waste disposal agencies have special provisions for battery disposal.

Maintaining the Battery Charge

As you use your radio, the battery power icon will show the battery power remaining. When the icon begins to flash, it is time to recharge or change the batteries.

Power Source

Install the AAA batteries in the slots in the battery compartment with the batteries oriented according to the polarity (+ & -) marks in the slots.

Initial Charge

The Cobra-provided NiMH batteries may be charged in a car or boat using the appropriate 12V power cord.

1. Insert the power cord into the side of the radio.

2.Insert the other end of the power cord into a 12V power source.

3. Observe that the red light on the power cord glows to indicate that power is present.

4. Allow the batteries to charge for 12 to 14 hours before use.

WARNING

Only the rechargeable NiMH batteries can be recharged. You MUST use the charging device provided with this radio. Do not substitute any other type of charging adapter. Battery damage, fire or explosion may result. It is equally important to prevent the NiMH batteries from freezing to obtain best performance from them.

NOTICE

Use only the 12V power cord provided by Cobra. Do not use the power cord with alkaline batteries; only the NiMH batteries are rechargeable. Spent alkaline batteries must be discarded and replaced.

It is a good idea to keep a set of fresh, high-quality AAA alkaline batteries with your radio. Should the rechargeable batteries become discharged and no electrical power source be available, you can insert fresh alkaline batteries and continue to use your radio.
