User manual COBRA 18 WX ST II

[. . . ] Consult your Cobra dealer for further details (or see order form at the back of this book). 3-Way Combination Antennas are available which allow operation of all three bands (AM-FM & CB), using a single antenna. However, use of this type of antenna usually results in less than normal transmit and receive range when compared to a standard-type "Single Band" antenna designed for CB only. CB Antenna Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power output. In mobile installations (cars, trucks, boats, etc. ), an antenna system that is non-directional should be used. [. . . ] Also, when extremely low level signals are being received, the transceiver may be operated with vehicle engine turned off. The unit requires very little current and therefore will not significantly discharge the vehicle battery. Even though this radio has an automatic noise limiter, in some installations ignition interference may be high enough to make good communications impossible. Consult your COBRA dealer or a 2-way radio technician for help in locating and correcting the source of severe noise. Temporary Mobile Operation For temporary mobile operation, you may want to purchase an additional cigarette lighter adapter from your COBRA dealer. This adapter and a magnetic mount antenna allow you to quickly "install" your transceiver for temporary use. PA ANT EXT Temporary Mobile Operation Note Red and Orange wires are connected to positive side of socket center tip. Black wire is connected to negative side contacts. 13. 8V DC Note Radio resets to CH 9 when connected to cigarette lighter plug. 14 Operation Operating Procedure to Receive 1. The main power lead (red & orange wire) has a 2 amp 3AG type fuse in its holder. Use only the above specified type and size fuse for maximum protection. If you are unable to correct the problem, refer to the SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS at the end of this manual for the correct procedure for warranty and post-warranty service from COBRA. 16 Warning Replacement Warning Replacement or substitution of certain parts with replacements other than those recommended by Cobra may be a violation of the technical regulations of Part 95 of the FCC rules, or of Type Acceptance requirements of Part 2 of said rules. When making adjustments, be sure to re-read applicable portions of this instruction manual to make certain you are following correct procedure and that the radio was properly installed, etc. You are not allowed to carry on a conversation with another station for more than five minutes at a time without taking a one-minute break to give others a chance to use the channel. You are not allowed to blast others off the air by overpowering them with illegally amplified transmitter power or illegally high antennas. You may not use your CB to sell merchandise or professional service.
