systems

the handset and base, where they should be, out of your way.

Installation Information
Your Cobra INTENNA Cordless Telephone without any external base or handset
antennas offers many new installation choices compared to traditional cordless
phones with telescopic antennas. Your new phone can be located under cabinets, next to lamps, on crowded countertops and in other tight spaces that were
previously inaccessible to cordless phones.
Maximum range is obtained by installing the base unit in the highest living area
of your home. The location you choose must be near an electrical outlet and a
telephone wall jack. (To minimize electrical interference, avoid plugging your
cordless phone into the same electrical outlet that has a charging unit for a
cordless vacuum, screwdriver or other electronic device.)

Using Your Phone
After charging the handset batteries overnight (at least 12 hours), use your
Cobra INTENNA cordless phone like any corded phone. With Cobra’s AUTO
STANDBY feature, just pick the handset up to answer or place a call.
ANSWERING/PLACING CALLS AT THE BASE WITH “AUTO STANDBY” and
"AUTO ANSWER"
• Activate AUTO STANDBY by pressing and releasing the TALK button on
the handset. The TALK light will illuminate.

will be no need to use the TALK button to answer a call unless you keep
the handset away from the base for extended periods (see below). When
the phone rings, just pick up and talk.
• After placing or answering a call, return the handset to the base without
pressing the TALK button; your phone automatically disconnects the
call and resets the AUTO STANDBY feature.
• To place a call, lift the handset and press the TALK button. Listen for dial
tone and dial the number.
REMOTE ANSWERING/PLACING CALLS (AWAY FROM THE BASE)
• The TALK indicator (the lighted TALK button) must be OFF when the
handset is away from the base. The phone is now in STANDBY mode,
ready to ring if a call is received.
• Press and release the TALK button (the indicator will light) to answer or
place a call.
• Press and release the TALK button when finished with a call in order to
“hang up” the phone.
