Base Station Operation
(From 120V AC House Current)
To operate the transceiver from home or
office you will need a 13.8 volt DC Power
Pack rated at a minimum of 2 amps, and a
properly installed base station antenna.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate this
transceiver by connecting it directly to
120VAC.
1. Simply connect the red (+) and black (-)
leads of the transceiver to the
corresponding terminals of the power
pack.
2. Plug the power cable into the back of
the unit marked "Power". Be sure to
observe polarity markings.
3. Connect a properly installed and
matched base station antenna.

Temporary Mobile Operation

For temporary mobile operation you may
want to purchase an optional automobile
power adapter from your Cobra dealer. This
adapter and a magnetic mount antenna allow
you to quickly "install" your transceiver for
temporary use.
