Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of a Cobra® INTENNA® Cordless Telephone
— the world’s first and only full-range-power cordless telephone without

any external antennas!

No more extending, bending, or breaking the telescopic metal antennas
found on traditional cordless phones — your Cobra INTENNA conceals its
antenna systems inside the handset and base, where they should be, out of
your way.

Now you can install your new Cobra INTENNA cordless phone virtually
anywhere. Without cumbersome external antennas to worry about, put your
new phone anywhere a corded phone can go! Then enjoy the freedom of
using your new cordless phone all over the house as well as outside in your
yard.

Your new Cobra Model CP-706 is the first INTENNA to be equipped with
the new Privacy Feature, which uses voice scrambling to ensure totally
private telephone conversations. It has ten selectable channels (the maxi­mum number available) for optimum interference-free use. And its patented
Cobra Clear Call® PLUS Circuitry with compander noise-reduction system
ensures corded-phone sound quality.

Please take a moment to review this booklet and become familiar with all of
the many user-friendly convenience features built into your new Cobra
INTENNA Cordless Phone.

If you need further assistance installing or using your new INTENNA
Cordless Telephone, please call our toll-free consumer “hotline” at 1-800-
COBRA 22 (1-800-262-7222), open 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Central Time)
