Installing the 75 All Road

The 75 All Road CB includes an all-in-one handset, which allows you to communicate, change settings and operate the CB. It also includes the CB transceiver, or “black box™ which connects wirelessly to the handset. This provides flexible powering, mounting, and communication options, so you can mount your All Road CB radio anywhere inside your vehicle.

Before installing the 75 All Road CB, consider the power source you plan to use for the handset before selecting an inStaIIation location:

1. Handset to CB (black box).
2. Handset connected to the vehicle USB port.
3. Handset connected to the power adapter (included) for connection with the vehicle’s 12V power port.

The handset is powered with a 5V USB connector, which can be powered directly front any USB port or from the USB output on the front of the black box.

If you plan to connect the handset directly to the CB, you will need to consider a location closer to the handset.

By mounting the handset away from the black box, you can in Stall the black box under a seat, in the trunk, or anywhere inside the vehicle.

NOTE: Do not mount under the hood, near heat ducts, in direct line of the car’s heater or near gas and brake pedals.

Mounting the CB (Black Box)

1. Hold the Cobra 75 All Road black box in the exact location desired for mounting.

2. Using it as a template, mark the location for the mounting screws (included).
   NOTE: Make certain that nothing will interfere with the installation of the mounting screws before drilling holes.

3. Drill and mount the black box as shown.

Connecting Wires

Using the 75 All ROad CB requires antenna and hardwire installation.

1. Connect the antenna cable plug (see installing an Antenna before Cconnecting)

2. Install the Hardwire provided:

3. Connect the red wire (+) directly to the positive side of the battery or to a  connection on the fuse box that is always on.

4. Connect the black wire (—) to the negative side of the car, usually the chassis. Any other location with good electrical contact (paint removed) will also work.

NOTE: You must use a CB antenna (sold seprately) with this radio. Antenna options are available on cobra.com-Please check your vehicle’s owner manual before installing and connecting the antenna and CB cables.

Installing The Handset Hanger

1. Hold the microphone hanger in the location desired for mounting. Make certain that nothing will interfere with the hanger’s installation.

2. Using it as a template, mark the location for the mounting screws (included).

3. Drill and mount the microphone hanger as shown.

Installing An Antenna

Be sure the antenna is properly connected to the radio before transmitting. Prolonged transmitting without an antenna, or use of a poorly matched antenna, could cause damage to the CB. For the most reliable operation and maximum range, Cobra recommends using a vertically polarized, quarter wavelength whip antenna. Shorter, loaded-type whips are adequate when maximum range is not required.

NOTE: Mobile installations (cars, truck, boats, etc) should be only with a non- directionsl antenna system.

• A standard antenna connector (Type SO-239) is provided on the black box for easy connection to a standard PL-259 cable termination.
• Cobra antenna models are recommended; order directly from Cobra at www.cobra.com or contact your local Cobra dealer.
• For maximum efficiency in boat installations, a ground plate is required, unless the vessel has a steel hull. Consult your CB dealer for information regarding an adequate grounding system.

**Installing an External Speaker

**

• Mount external speaker in desired location.
• Plug into the back of the Connector Box.

The external speaker should have 4-8 Ohms impedance and be able to handle at least 4 Watts.

Ignition Noise Interference
The alternator and ignition system in your vehicle may limit your ability to receive low signal levels. Other noise interference can be the result of several different installation variables. Consult your Cobra dealer or a 2-way radio technician to help locate and correct the source of severe noise interference.
