The Citizens Band Story FCC Information
The Citizens Band lies between the shortwave broadcast and 10-meter Amateur radio bands, and was established by law in 1949. The Class D two-way communications service was opened in 1959. (CB also includes a Class A citizens band and Class C remote control frequencies.)
FCC Regulations
FCC regulations permit only “transmissions”(one party to another) rather than “broadcasts”(to a wide audience). Thus, advertising is not allowed on CB Channels because that is“broadcasting.”
FCC Warnings
All transmitter adjustments other than those supplied by the manufacturer as front panel operating controls, must be made by,or under the supervision of,the holder of an FCC-issued General Radio-Telephone Operator’s License.
Replacement or substitution of transistors, regular diodes or other parts of a unique nature, with parts other than those recommended by Cobra, may cause violation of the technical regulations of Part 95 of the FCC Rules,or violation of Type Acceptance requirements of Part 2 of the Rules.
You should read and understand Part 95 (included with this unit) of the FCC Rules and Regulations, before operating your Cobra radio,even though the FCC no longer requires you to obtain an operator’s license.

Installation
For constant 12 volt source power,connect the red wire
marked “BATT(+)” directly to the positive side of the battery or to a connection on the fuse block that is always on.
Connect the black wire marked “Ground” to the negative
side of the car,usually the chassis.Any other location with good electrical contact (paint removed) will also work.
Mounting and Connections
Caution
Leaving the 76 XTR on after your car is turned off can drain your car battery when connected to a constant 12 volt source.When connected to an accessory 12 volt source the unit will turn off when vehicle is turned off.
Installation
Mounting and Connections
The Junction Box is held by two screws,permitting mounting in the manner most convenient for your installation.
Mounting hardware is supplied for mounting the Junction Box.The mounting must be mechanically strong and also provide a good electrical connection to the chassis of the vehicle. Proceed as follows to mount junction box:
After you have determined the most convenient
location in your vehicle,hold the Cobra 76 XTR Junction Box in the exact location desired. If nothing will interfere with mounting it in the desired position, use the Junction Box as a template to mark the location for the mounting screws. Before drilling the holes, make sure nothing will interfere with the installation of the mounting screws.
Connect the antenna cable connector to the antenna
receptacle on the unit. Most CB antennas are terminated with a type PL-259 plug and mate with the receptacle.

CB Antenna
Do not remove foil covering from bottom of magnetic base.The foil protects the car finish.
Installation Instructions
This magnetic mount antenna has
been tested to withstand normal high speed driving.The magnet will hold securely under the following conditions. Always make sure the antenna base is on a clean, flat, painted or unpainted surface.The magnetic base will not hold on non-metallic or aluminum surfaces. Periodically clean all parts of antenna to maintain maximum performance.
Clean dust and dirt away from area where antenna will
be placed.
Place antenna on vehicle, roof,trunk lid,or any flat
surface. For best results centrally locate.
Run coax cable thru to inside of vehicle routed in a
manner where it will not interfere with the driver or controls and connect to the antenna connector of the radio.
CB Antenna Installation
Note
Mobile installations (cars,trucks, boats, etc) should be made only with a non-directional antenna system.
A standard antenna connector (Type SO-239) is provided on the Connector Box for easy connection to a standard PL­259 cable termination.

PA Speaker Installation
Mount PA speaker in desired location.
Plug jack into the back of the Connector Box
labeled PA. *The PA speaker should have 4-8 ohms impedance and be able to handle at least 4 watts.
Public Address: An external PA speaker may be connected to the PA speaker jack when used as a public address system.The speaker should be directed away from the microphone to prevent acoustic feed-back. Physical separation or isolation of the microphone and speaker must be employed when operating the PA at high output levels.
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.

Operation
To set the “squelch gate” to the DSS-Desired Squelch
Setting, turn the squelch control counterclockwise until you hear noise.Then turn the squelch control back clockwise just until the noise stops. Now only strong signals get through.
Think of your Squelch Control as a gate for incoming signals. If you turn the Squelch Control fully clockwise, it raises the “squelch gate” so high that no signals get through.
If you turn the squelch control fully counter-clockwise, it lowers the “squelch gate” so low that everything gets through - noise, weak signals and strong signals.
The Desired Squelch Setting, (DSS) only allows actual transmissions to come through.This effectively blocks out unwanted noise.
