Charging Batteries
When using the Cobra®NiMH battery pack (part No. FA-BP), the
batteries can be charged using the optional Cobra®Wall
Mount Charger (part No. PA-CE or PA-CU). Simply place the
Cobra
®
NiMH battery pack (part No. FA-BP) in the battery
compartment, open the CHG/INT tab on the side of the

to flash, the batteries should be recharged or replaced.
