Initial Charge
The Cobra
®
provided NiMH batteries can be Charged
at home, in your automobile, or in your boat using the
appropriate 12 or 120 volt power cord with the charger.
1. Insert one (1) of the power cords into the back of the
drop-in charging cradle.
2. Insert the other end of the power cord into the
appropriate 12 or 120 volt power source.
3. Insert the radio into the charger. The metal pads
on the radio will contact mating pads in the charger
to transfer the charging current.
4. Observe that the red light on the front of the charger
glows to indicate that the radio is properly seated and
the charger is operating.
5. Allow the batteries to charge for 12 to 15 hours.
WARNING
Only the rechargeable NiMH batteries
can be recharged.
NOTE
If the drop-in charger is to be used on a boat,
Cobra
®
recommends you attach it to a shelf or
bulkhead (using the screw holes provided) to
prevent damage due to the boat rolling or pitching.

Maintaining The Battery Charge
As you use your radio, the battery power icon will show the
battery power remaining. When the icon begins to flash, it is
time to recharge or change the batteries.
You can monitor incoming calls while the radio is charging.
However, you should remove it from the charger to transmit.
Charging will be quicker if the radio is turned Off.
CAUTION
Use only the drop-in charger provided by Cobra
®
.
Do not use the charger with alkaline batteries; only
the NiMH batteries are rechargeable. Spent alkaline
batteries must be discarded and replaced.
It is a good idea to keep a set of fresh, high quality alkaline
batteries with your radio. Should the rechargeable batteries
become discharged and no electrical power source be
available, you can insert the alkaline batteries and continue
to use your radio until you can return to using the
rechargeable ones.
