Installation
Location
Plan the location of the transceiver and microphone bracket
before  starting the installation. Select a location that is conve-
nient for operation and does not interfere with the driver or
passengers in the vehicle. In automobiles, the transceiver is
usually mounted to the underneath of the dash panel, with the
microphone bracket beside it.
Mounting and Connections
The transceiver is held in the universal mounting bracket by
two thumb screws, permitting adjustment at the most conve-
nient angle.
A universal mounting bracket is supplied along with self tap-
ping screws and star washers. The mounting must be mechan-
ically strong and also provide a good electrical connection to
the chassis of the vehicle. To mount the transceiver:
1.
Determine the most con-
venient location in your
vehicle. Hold the COBRA
radio with mounting
bracket in the exact loca-
tion desired. If nothing
will interfere with mount-
ing it in the desired posi-
tion, remove the mounting
bracket and use it as a tem-
plate to mark the location
for the mounting screws.
2.
Drill necessary holes and secure mounting bracket in 
location. 
Operating Instructions for Your
CITIZENS BAND 
2-WAY MOBILE RADIO
1
WITH INSTANT EMERGENCY CHANNEL 9
Welcome to the Cobra Family of 2-way communications.
Cobra has dedicated over 30 years of research and develop-
ment to the technology that made Cobra #1 in CB Radios.
Please take some time to read this booklet. Although this CB
is simple to operate, we want you to be aware of all the
unique features your new CB Radio offers.
THE CB STORY
The Citizens Band lies between the shortwave broadcast and
10-meter Amateur radio bands, and was established by law
in 1949. The Class D two-way communications service was
opened in 1959. (CB also includes a Class A citizens band
and Class A remote control frequencies.)
FCC regulations permit only "transmissions" (one-party to
another) rather than" broadcast" (to a wide audience). Thus,
advertising is not allowed on CB channels because that is
"broadcasting".
“Cuts Static coming in, adds Punch going out!”
Cobra proudly introduces the first Patent Pending technolo-
gy that dramatically improves the transmission and recep-
tion of CB radio signals.
This revolutionary system reconfigures the transmission sig-
nal which allows it to be transferred more effectively through
cluttered airwaves. It literally ÒpunchesÓ your message
through the hundreds of thousands of signals that are in the
air. At the same time, SoundTracker system dynamically
adjusts the relationship between the signal and static com-
monly referred to as noise. This allows CobraÕs SoundTracker
system to significantly reduce the amount of static on all
incoming CB signals. The system can be further optimized
when two SoundTracker CBÕs are used to talk to each other.
The end result is a clearer, cleaner sounding reception of sig-
nals and more powerful transmission which 
dramatically
improve CB Communications
WARNING
Replacement or substitution of transistors, regular diodes or
other parts of a unique nature, with parts other than those
recommended by Cobra, may cause violation of the techni-
cal regulations of Part 95 of the FCC Rules, or violation of
Type Acceptance requirements of Part 2 of the Rules.
LICENSING
Citizens Band (CB) Radio operators are no longer re-
quired to obtain an FCC license to operate their CB
equipment or provide station identification.
Nevertheless, an operator of a CB radio station is still re-
quired to comply with the communications act and with
the rules of CB Radio Operation.
