Our Thanks to You

Thank you for purchasing a Cobra Bluetooth Handset. Properly used, this Cobra product will give you many years of reliable service.

How Your Cobra Bluetooth Handset Works

This handset allows use of mobile telephones (cell phones) while protecting them from potential damage in the outdoor environment.

Bluetooth wireless technology allows voice and data transmission over short distances by means of a radio link. Using that technology, the Bluetooth handset allows your cell phone to be turned on and stowed in a waterproof and protected location on the vehicle. Calls are then made and received using the Bluetooth handset.

indicators on your Bluetooth handset. Most button functions are activated by a momentary press, then release. In those

cases that call for “press and hold,” hold the button down for at least two seconds after it is pressed. The PTT button is held down as long as you are speaking into the microphone.

When using the handset, tones will sound to:

■

Indicate an error – three beeps.

■

Confirm an action – two beeps.

■

Confirm a single button press (except the PTT button) – one beep.

You can turn the Key Tones Off if you want (see page 21).

Try It Out

Using the Bluetooth handset is the most effective way to learn about it. Don’t hesitate to explore functions and add entries to see how they work. Do not be concerned if you make mistakes. They can all be undone in Edit mode. Or you can reset the unit to the original factory default condition. Push and hold the Green Phone and Home function keys, then push the Power key until the unit turns On.

NOTICE

Resetting the unit will clear ALL Bluetooth device pairings as well as the Call Log, Phonebook and Bluetooth device list.
