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.
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.
