radio setup programming time.

Getting Started
High/Medium/Low (H-M-L) Power Button
Your radio can transmit selectively at 1, 3 or 6 watts of
power (5 watts maximum in Australia). Cobra suggests
you maintain the low power setting for short-range
communications. You will conserve battery life and avoid
overpowering nearby stations with a low power setting
signal. Use the high power setting for long-range
communications or when you do not receive a response
to a signal sent at 1 watt.
To Toggle Between H-M-L Power Modes:
Press the
H-M-L Power
button. The LCD will show
which mode is in effect. Some channels are restricted
for a maximum use of 1 watt. Your radio will
automatically set the power to
Low Power
mode
when you select those channels.
NOTE
Some channels, frequency bands and countries of use
might not be able to operate in
High Power
mode.

signal
