Your Cobra Intenna comes complete with a
rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery
already in the handset. You will need to
charge the battery by plugging in the base,
placing the handset in the base and letting it
charge overnight (at least 12 hours).
Battery Recharging
There are three things that can happen to
indicate that your handset battery needs
recharging. When one of these three things
occurs, you will need to return the handset
to the base and recharge for at least 12
continuous hours.
1. The TALK button on the handset
flashes.
2. A 2-beep warning sounds while you
are using the phone. This indicates
that you have just a few minutes of
power left to complete your
conversation before the phone
disconnects.
3. The handset beeps at 30 second
intervals for five minutes when it has
been away from the base too long.
After five minutes, it will not flash or
beep, nor will you be able to get a
dial tone. Return the handset to the
base for recharging.
NOTE: To prevent your batteries from
running out of power, Cobra suggests that
you leave the handset in the base as much
as possible, when not in use. The CHARGE
indicator will remain on as long as the
handset is in the base, even after the
batteries are fully recharged. This will not
damage the batteries.
Replacing The Battery
If you have recharged the battery for 12
hours or more and the handset does not
work when the TALK button is pressed, you
may need to replace the battery. To order a
new battery, call Cobra toll-free at 1-773-
889-3087, or remove it from the handset
and take it to a local hardware store or
home center store to be certain that you
are getting the proper replacement battery.
To Remove/Replace The
Handset Battery
1. To remove the battery door, press
and slide downward.
2. Carefully disconnect the battery pack
and dispose of it properly. See
BATTERY DISPOSAL below.
3. To replace, connect the new battery
and replace the door. Return the
handset to the base and charge the
battery overnight (at least 12 hours).
To Clean The
Charging Contacts
The two metal charging contacts on both
the handset and the base should be
cleaned regularly with a soft, dry cloth for
optimum recharging performance.
