O p e r a t i o nInstallation Installation
Mounting and Connections
Note
The transceiver is held in the universal mounting bracket by two thumb screws,permitting adjustment at the most conve­nient angle.
A universal mounting bracket is supplied along with self tap­ping screws and star washers. To mount the transceiver:
Mo u nting and Co n n e ct i o n s
Se l e ct a location for the tra n s ce i ver and micro­phone bra c ket that is co nve n i e nt for ope rat i o n . In auto m o b i l e s,the tra n s ce i ver is usually mounte d to the undern e ath of the dash panel,with the m i c rophone bra c ket beside it.
1Hold the radio with mounting bra c ket in the
ex a ct location desire d.Re m ove the mount i n g b ra c ket and use it as a te m p l ate to mark the l ocation for the mounting scre ws.

5Co n n e ct the black lead to the negat i ve side of
the auto m o b i l e.This is usually the chassis.Any co nve n i e nt location with good elect ri cal co nt a ct ( re m ove paint) may be used.
O p e r a t i o n
Mounting and Connections
Note
Before installing the CB radio, visually check the vehicle bat­tery connections to determine which battery terminal, posi­tive or negative (positive is the larger of the two) is grounded to the engine block (or chassis).
6Mo u nt the microphone bra c ket on ri g ht side of
the tra n s ce i ver or near it using two scre ws sup­p l i e d.When mounting in an auto m o b i l e,p l a ce
2Drill nece s s a ry holes and secure mount i n g

3Co n n e ct the antenna cable plug to the re ce p t a-
cle marked “A N T”on the back of the unit.

CB Antenna
No te
Co b ra loaded-ty pe ante n n a m odels HGA 1000,HGA 1500, and HGA 2000 are highly re c­ommended for most installa­t i o n s. Consult your Co b ra deal­er for further details (or see o rder form at the back of this boo k ) .
3 - Way Combination An te n n a s a re available which allow ope r­ation of all three bands (AM-FM & CB),using a single ante n n a . Howeve r,use of this ty pe of a n tenna usually results in less than normal transmit and re ce i ve range when co m p a re d to a standard - ty pe "Si n g l e Band" antenna designed for CB only.
Tu rning on
Tu rn volume co nt rol cloc kwise to turn power on and set the desired listening vo l u m e.
CB Ante n n a
Only a pro pe rly matched antenna sys tem will a l l ow maximum power output.
In mobile installations (ca r s,t ru c k s,bo at s,e tc. ) , an antenna sys tem that is non-dire ctional should be used.
When installed in a bo at,the tra n s ce i ver will not o pe rate at maximum efficiency without a gro u n d p l ate unless the vessel has a steel hull.Be fo re installing the tra n s ce i ver in a bo at,consult yo u r dealer for info rm ation re g a rding an adequate g rounding sys te m .
Mi c rophone Co n n e ctor
Al l ows for co nve n i e nt re m oval of the micro p h o n e plug when sto rage is re q u i re d.The micro p h o n e MUST be co n n e cted to the unit at all times when in u s e,for pro per ope rat i o n .
Sq u e l c h
This co nt rol is used to cut off or eliminate re ce i ve r b a c kg round noise in the absence of an inco m i n g s i g n a l . Adjust until the re ce i ver noise disappe a r s. This will re q u i re the incoming signal to be slight l y s t ronger than ave rage re ce i ver noise.Fu rther cloc k­wise ro t ation will increase the threshold leve l which a signal must ove rcome in order to be heard. Only strong signals will be heard at a maximum c l oc kwise setting.

Squelch is the “control gate”for incoming signals. 1 . Fullclockwise rotation closes the gate
allowing only very strong signals to enter.
2 . Fullcounterclockwise rotation opens the “gate”
allowing all signals in.

Exte rnal Spe a ke r.The External Speaker Jack is used for an external speaker.The external speak­er should have 8-ohm impedance and be rated to handle at least 4.0 watts.When the external speaker is plugged in,the internal speaker is automatically disconnected.
Powe r : These wires supply power to the CB ra d i o. This cable is pe rm a n e ntly attached to the ra d i o.If you wish to re m ove the radio after installat i o n ,d i s­co n n e ct at fuse holder and ground co n n e cto r.
Public Ad d re s s : 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 Inte rfe re n ce
Use of a mobile re ce i ver at low signal levels is nor­mally limited by the pre s e n ce of elect ri cal noise. Under most ope rating co n d i t i o n s,when signal l evel is adequate,the backg round noise does not p re s e nt a serious pro b l e m .Al s o,when ext re m e l y l ow level signals are being re ce i ve d,the tra n s ce i ve r m ay be ope rated with vehicle engine turned off. The unit re q u i res ve ry little curre nt and there fo re will not significa ntly discharge the vehicle bat te ry.
Even though this radio has an auto m atic noise lim­i te r,in some installations ignition inte rfe re n ce may be high enough to make good co m m u n i cat i o n s i m po s s i b l e.Consult your CO B RA dealer or a 2-way radio technician for help in locating and co rre ct i n g the source of seve re noise.
Te m po ra ry Mobile Ope rat i o n
For te m po ra ry mobile ope rat i o n ,you may wa nt to p u rchase an additional cigare t te lighter adapte r f rom your CO B RA dealer.This adapter and a mag­netic mount antenna allow you to quickly "install" your tra n s ce i ver for te m po ra ry use.

Maintenance and Adjustment
Your COBRA CB transceiver is specifically designed for the environment encountered in mobile installations.The use of all solid state cir­cuitry and its light weight result in high reliabili­ty.Should a failure occur,however,review the fol­lowing,then if necessary,replace parts only with identical parts.Do not substitute.
1 . Check connections to the source of power and
make sure it is the 13.8 VDC required to oper­ate your radio.
2 . Check the fuses in the DC power cord.The
main power lead (red ) has a 2 amp 3AG type fuse in its holder.Use only the above specified type and size fuse for maximum protection. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
3 . Ma ke ce rtain the microphone is pro pe rl y
plugged in.
4 . Make certain the antenna is properly assem-
bled and connected.
If you are unable to correct the problem,refer to the SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS at the end of this manual for the correct procedure for warranty and post-warranty service from COBRA.
12
Operating Procedure to Receive 1 . Be sure that power cord,antenna and microphone are connected to the
proper connectors before proceeding further.The CB/PA switch should be in the "CB" position.
2 . Turn the radio ON by rotating the VOLUME CONTROL clockwise. 3 . Rotate SQUELCH CONTROL counterclockwise until incoming signal is
heard.
4 . Select the desired channel. 5 . Set VOLUME CONTROL to a comfortable listening level.
Operating Procedure toTransmit 1 . Select the desired channel. 2 . The receiver and transmitter are controlled by the press-to-talk switch on
the microphone.Press the switch and the transmitter is activated;release switch to receive.When transmitting (on a clear channel),hold the micro­phone two inches from the mouth and speak clearly in a normal voice.
Be sure the antenna is properly connected to the radio before transmit­ting.Prolonged transmitting without an antenna,or a poorly matched antenna,could cause damage to the transmitter.
