Initial Charge

The CobraMarineprovided NiMH batteries can be Charged at home, in your car or in your boat using the appropriate AC or 12 volt power cord with the charger. A UK compatible adapter is included if required.

1.Insert one of the power cords into the back of the drop-in charging cradle.

2.Insert the other end of the power cord into the appropriate AC or 12 volt power source.

3.Insert the radio into the charger. The metal pads on the radio will contact mating pads 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 radio is properly seated and the charger is operating.

5.Allow the batteries to charge for 12 to 15 hours.

WARNING

Only the rechargeable NiMH batteries can be recharged.

NOTE

If the drop-in charger is to be used on a boat, CobraMarinerecommends you attach it to a shelf or bulkhead (using the screw holes provided) to prevent damage due to the boat rolling or pitching.

CAUTION

The charger is to be used for charging purposes only. It is not to be used during normal operation.

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.

You can monitor incoming calls while the radio is charging. However, you should remove it from the charger to transmit. Charging will be quicker if the radio is turned Off.

CAUTION

Use only the drop-in charger provided by Cobra Electronics Corporation. Do not use the charger 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 alkaline batteries with your radio. Should the rechargeable batteries become discharged and no electrical power source be available, you can insert the alkaline batteries and continue to use your radio until you can return to using the rechargeable ones.
