WARNING: Important Safety Instructions for Battery
Read All Instructions
• Do not incinerate the battery even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn
out.
• Do not discard battery in a fire. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
• Do not replace battery in any area labeled “Hazardous Atmosphere”. Any sparks
created in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire.
• Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or otherwise attempt to change the
form of your battery.
• Do not dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or heat source, such as a hair
dryer or microwave oven.
• A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under extreme usage or
temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure. Do not open, deform or
mutilate the battery as there may be corrosive materials which can cause damage
to eyes or skin and may be toxic if swallowed.
However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of
10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
This product uses Lithium Polymer Battery. Do not transport package if damaged, a
fire hazard could exist.
Recycle Battery
Local, state or federal laws may prohibit disposal of batteries in ordinary trash.
Consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling
and/or disposal options.
1. Only accessories included in this package or specified by the manufacturer
should be used with the radio. The 5V micro-USB charging input is compatible
with most high quality micro-USB chargers that fully conform to the USB
standards.
2. Do not use cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior of the radio. Use only a
damp or dry cloth.
3. Do not expose this product to splashing or dripping water.
4. Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself. Removing the cover will void
the warranty. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Cobra may
void the user’s authority granted by the FCC to operate this device and should
not be made.

Operational Cautions
Exposure to high volume sound levels may cause temporary or permanent
damage to your hearing. Although there is no single volume setting that is
appropriate for everyone, you should always use your radio with the volume set
at low level and avoid prolonged exposure to high volume sound levels.
1. Set the volume control in a low position and use as low a volume as
possible.
2. Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings. Whenever
possible, use your radio in a quiet environment with low background noise.
3. Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpiece at high volume
levels.
4. When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio’s
speaker directly against your ear.
5. Observe all signs and instructions that require an electrical device or RF
radio product to be switched off in designated areas, such as gas/refueling
stations, hospitals, blasting areas, potentially explosive atmospheres, or
aircraft.
6. If you experience a skin irritation after using this product, discontinue use
and seek medical attention.
7. If the product or charger: overheats; has a damaged cord or plug; has been
dropped or damaged; has been dropped into water, disconnect any charger
from its power supply, discontinue use of the product.
Electromagnetic Interference
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference
(EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for
electromagnetic compatibility. Turn off your radio in any facility where posted
notices instruct you to do so. These facilities may include hospitals or health
care facilities that may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF
energy.
• When instructed to do so, turn off your radios when on board an aircraft. Any
use of a RF device must be in accordance with applicable laws, regulations
and airline crew instructions.
• Some radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer or
physician to discuss alternatives.
• If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of
your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your
doctor or physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

For charging Cobra radio(s) in desktop charger:
1. Check to see that the batteries have been inserted
properly.
2. Insert radio(s) into desktop charger as shown. The
desktop charger can charge the radio(s) with or without
holster attached.
3. Insert the micro-USB cable into jack on bottom of
charger.
4. Plug the cable into USB-compatible power outlet. The
power outlet should be near the equipment and shall be
easily accessible.
If charging light is not on, check position of radio. Radio should be inserted
completely. The charge indicator light on desktop charger will stay on (Red) as
long as the radio is in the charging well, and the light will change to Green
when the charging is complete.
Cobra recommends your radio be turned off while being charged.
Note: If the charging LED still is OFF when the radio inserted completely:
1. Check if there is output from power source first and make sure the radio has
its battery inserted correctly.
2. Check for contact contamination or corrosion:
• Remove the radio from the charger.
• Inspect the charging contacts on radio for contamination or corrosion.
Clean the charging contacts using a dry cloth.
• Inspect the charging contacts in the charger pocket for contamination or
corrosion. If contamination or corrosion are found, remove power from
the charger and clean the charging contacts using a dry cloth.
3. Try replacing the battery. If the fault no longer exists, then take the faulty
battery out of service.

Water Resistant
This radio is water resistant to IP54 standards. It is dust / splashproof from any
direction. The radio is resistant to water and rain splashes only when the
battery cover and headset accessory ports are sealed. Open the battery
compartment door cover only when the radio is dry. Use of a headset
accessory should be in dry environments only. The micro-USB cable and plug
are not waterproof. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow. Charge the
radios only in a dry location. The battery door must be tightly closed with the

Privacy Codes
Your radio incorporates two advanced coded squelch systems that can help to
reduce interference from other users on any given channel. CTCSS (Continuous
Tone Coded Squelch System) provides 38 privacy codes and DCS (Digitally
Coded Squelch) provides privacy codes for factory default channel preset. The
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) can be used on all channels.
For ease of use and to reduce interference from other users, the 22 channels
of your radio have been customized, see Channel and Default Privacy Code
Table.

The privacy code OFF is not a privacy code, but allows all signals
to be heard on a channel that is set to 0 on both the CTCSS and
DCS systems.
See Page 12 for resetting all the channels and privacy code
setting to factory default.
You can change your radio Privacy Codes in order to work with
other radios with different privacy codes or radio without
privacy codes. See page 11 and 12 for procedures.
To successfully communicate using a privacy code, both the
sending and receiving radios must be tuned to the same channel
