Temporary Mobile Operation
To operate your COBRA transceiver from a car on a tempo-
rary basis, you may want to purchase an additional ciga-
rette lighter adapter from your COBRA dealer. This adapter
and a magnetic mount antenna allow you to quickly
"install" your transceiver for temporary use.
Operation
Controls and Indicators
Refer to controls, indicators and connectors as illustrated
below:
A. Front Panel
1.
Microphone Connector
. Allows for convenient
removal of the microphone plug when storage is
required. The microphone MUST be connected to the
unit at all times when in use, for proper operation.
2.
Off/On/Volume
. Turn clockwise to turn power on and
set the desired listening volume.
3.
Squelch
. This control is used to cut off or eliminate
receiver background noise in the absence of an incom-
ing signal. For maximum receiver sensitivity, it is
desired that the control be adjusted only to the point
where the receiver background noise or ambient back-
ground noise is eliminated. Adjust until the receiver
noise disappears. This will require the incoming signal
to be slightly stronger than average receiver noise.
Further clockwise rotation will increase the threshold
level which a signal must overcome in order to be
heard. Only strong signals will be heard at a maximum
clockwise setting.
4.
CB,WX1, WX2, WX3
. CB mode is for normal CB opera-
tion. Switch to WX1, or WX2, or WX3 to find the
Weather VHF Radio Station active in your area.
5.
Channel Up/Down Buttons
. When depressed, these
buttons are used to select any one of the forty citizens
band channels desired.

to be covered in about 6 seconds.
