Product Usage Instructions

Installation

Location
Before starting the installation, plan the location of the transceiver and microphone bracket. Select a location that is convenient for operation but does not interfere with the driver or passenger. The transceiver is usually mounted to the underside of the dash with the microphone bracket beside it.

Mounting and Connection

1. Hold the radio with the mounting bracket in the exact desired location. If there is no interference, remove the bracket and use it as a template to mark the location for the mounting screws.
2. Drill the holes and secure the bracket using the two self-tapping screws and star washers provided. The mounting must be mechanically strong and conveniently located.
3. Connect the antenna cable plug to the receptacle marked ANT on the back of the unit.
4. Connect the red lead of the DC power cord to an accessory 12-volt fuse in a negatively grounded vehicle. In a positive ground vehicle, connect the red wire to the chassis and the black wire to the ignition switch.
5. Connect the black lead of the DC power cord to the negative side of the vehicle, usually the chassis. Ensure good electrical contact by removing any paint from the chosen location.
6. Plug the power cable into the back of the unit marked Power, observing the polarity markings.
7. Mount the microphone bracket on either side of the unit (driver’s left) using the supplied screws. The bracket should be placed under the dash for easy access to the microphone.
8. Attach the 4-pin microphone cable to the receptacle on the front of the unit and securely install the unit on the bracket.

Antennas

CB Antenna
For optimum performance in passenger cars, the ideal antenna location is in the centre of the roof. The second choice is in the centre of the trunk. In newer trucks with fibreglass door skins, if you mount the antenna on the mirror bracket, ensure that the outside mirror is grounded to the chassis via a ground strap.

Note:
3-way Combination Antennas are also available which allow the operation of all three bands (AM-FM & CB) using a single antenna. However, this type of antenna usually results in less than normal transmit and receive range compared to a standard-type Single Band CB antenna. Contact your local dealer for further information.

FAQ

• Q: Where should I mount the CB antenna?
  A: For passenger cars, the ideal location is in the centre of the roof. The second choice is in the centre of the trunk. In trucks with fibreglass door skins, the antenna should be mounted on the mirror bracket, and the outside mirror must be grounded to the chassis via a ground strap.

• Q: Can I use a 3-way Combination Antenna?
  A: Yes, you can use a 3-way Combination Antenna to operate all three bands (AM-FM & CB) using a single antenna. However, please note that this type of antenna may result in less than normal transmit and receive range compared to a standard-type Single Band CB antenna.

IC & FCC Regulations

Industry Canada Notice:
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) this device may not cause interference, and 2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

«IC» before the equipment certification number signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not guarantee that the certified product will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

FCC Regulations

FCC regulations permit only “transmission” (one party to another) rather than “broadcast” (to a wide audience). Thus, advertising is not allowed on CB channels because that is “broadcasting”.

FCC Warnings

All transmitter adjustments other than those supplied by the manufacturer as front panel operating controls must be made by, or under the supervision of, the holder of an FCCissued general Radio-Telephone Operator’s License. Replacement or substitution of transistors, regular diodes or other parts of a unique nature, with parts other than those recommended by Cobra, may cause a violation of the tech ni – cal regulations of Part 95 of the FCC Rules, or violation of Type Acceptance requirements of Part 2 of the Rules.

Installation

Location

• Plan the location of the transceiver and microphone bracket before starting the installation.
• Select a location that is convenient for operation, yet does not interfere with the driver or passenger.
• The transceiver is usually mounted to the underside of the dash with the microphone bracket beside it.

Mounting and Connection

Note
The transceiver is held in the universal mounting bracket by two thumbscrews which allow for adjustment at a convenient angle.

The bracket includes two self-tapping screws and star washers. The mounting must be mechanically strong, and conveniently located.

1. Hold the radio with the mounting bracket in the exact desired location. If there is no interference, remove the bracket and use it as a template to mark the location for the mounting screws.
2. Drill the holes and secure the bracket.
3. Connect the antenna cable plug to the receptacle marked “ANT” on the back of the unit.
   • Connecting to an accessory fuse prevents the unit from being left on accidentally, and also permits operating the unit without running the engine.
   • In positive ground vehicles the red wire goes to the chassis and the black wire is connected to the ignition switch.
   • Before installing the CB radio, visually check the vehicle’s battery connection to determine which terminal, positive or negative, is grounded (positive is the larger of the two) to the engine block (or chassis). A negatively grounded vehicle has its negative lead grounded to the chassis.
4. In a negative grounded vehicle, connect the red lead of the DC power cord to an accessory 12-volt fuse.
5. Connect the black lead to the negative side of the vehicle. This is usually the chassis. Any convenient location with good electrical contact (remove paint) may be used.
6. Plug the power cable into the back of the unit marked “Power”. Be sure to observe polarity markings.
7. Mount the microphone bracket on either side of the unit (driver’s left) using two screws supplied. The bracket should be placed under the dash so the microphone is readily accessible.
8. Attach the 4-pin microphone cable to the receptacle, on the front of the unit and install the unit on the bracket securely.

Antennas

CB Antenna

• For optimum performance in passenger cars, the ideal antenna location is on the centre of the roof. The second choice is on the center of the trunk.
• Because many newer trucks feature fibreglass door skins, the outside mirror must be grounded to the chassis via a ground strap when the antenna is mounted on the mirror bracket.
• 3-way Combination Antennas are also available which allow the operation of all three bands (AM-FM & CB), using a single antenna. However, this type of antenna usually results in less than normal transmit and receive range when compared to a standard-type “Single Band” CB antenna. Contact your local dealer for further information.

Since the maximum allowable power output of the transmitter is limited by the FCC and IC, the antenna is critical in affecting transmission distance. Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power output*. Cobra-loaded type antenna models are highly recommended for most installations. Consult your Cobra dealer for further details.

A standard antenna connector is provided on the transceiver for easy connection.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmiter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Safety notice:
The device complies with the MPE requirements by providing a safe separation distance of 14.2 in (36 cm) between the antenna, including any radiating structure, and any persons when normally operated. This is based on a typical installation and an antenna with 3 dBi of gain. This device is approved with emissions having a source-based time-averaging duty factor not exceeding 50%.

Marine Installation Ignition Noise Interference

Marine Installation
The transceiver will not operate at maximum efficiency in a boat without a ground plate, (unless it has a steel hull). Before attempting installation, consult your dealer for information regarding an adequate grounding system and prevention of electrolysis between fittings in the hull and water.

Ignition Noise Interference
The transceiver will not operate at the maximum use of a mobile receiver at low signal levels is normally limited by the presence of electrical noise. The primary source of noise in automobiles is from the alternator and ignition system. Typically, when the signal level is adequate, the background noise does not present a serious problem. Also, when extremely low-level signals are being received, the transceiver may be operated with the vehicle’s engine turned off. The unit requires very little current and therefore will not significantly discharge the vehicle’s battery.

Even though the Cobra 29 LTD Classic has an automatic noise limiter, in some installations ignition interference may be high enough to make good communications impossible. Many possibilities exist and variations between vehicles require different solutions. Consult your COBRA dealer or a 2-way radio technician for help in locating the source of severe noise.

Operation

Turning On
Make sure the power cord, antenna and microphone are connected to their proper connectors before starting.

1. The CB/PA button should be in the CB position.
2. Rotate the On/Off Volume knob clockwise to a normal listening level.

Setting Channel Selector

Select one of forty channels and adjust the volume. The selected channel is indicated by the LED readout directly above the channel selector knob

Note
Antenna Indicator LED will illuminate when TX if SWR is high.

Calibrate for SWR (Standing Wave Ratio)
SWR calibration is done to properly adjust the length of the antenna and to monitor the quality of the coaxial cable and all RF connections. This calibration is critical to achieve optimum performance.

1. Select channel 20.
2. Switch to the CAL position.
3. Push and hold the mic button.
4. While holding the mic button adjust the SWR CAL knob so the meter needle swings to the CAL mark on the meter (located on the right). Note
   • Calibration must be made in an open area (never in a garage). Vehicle doors must be closed. No one should be standing near the antenna. (See your antenna directions for more complete information).
   • The reading will be slightly higher on Channels 1 and 40 compared to Channel 20.
   • When switched to the SWR position the meter needle should ideally be as far to the left as possible. Anything over 3 is not acceptable. The antenna indicator will light. A slight antenna height adjustment (higher or lower) may be required. Repeat the recalibration steps.
5. While still holding down the mic button, set the S/RF SWR CAL switch to the SWR position, to read the SWR reading.
6. Repeat the same steps two through five on Chapters 1 and 40. This will check SWR for all channels.

To Receive

1. Rotate the On/Off Volume knob clockwise the green RX/TX LED will be illuminated.

Selecting A Channel

1. Switch to NORMAL to select the desired channel.

S-Meter
Swings proportionately to the strength of the incoming signal when receiving.

1. The S/RF-SWR-CAL switch must be in the S/RF position to read the meter.

NB-ANL/ANL/OFF (Noise Blanker/Automatic Noise Limiter) Switch

1. When switched to ANL the Automatic Noise limiter is activated. This helps reduce the noise created by the vehicle’s electronics.
   • When switched to NB/ANL position the RF Noise Blanker is also activated, providing increased noise filtration.
   • When switched to the OFF position all noise filtration will be turned off.

Note
The RF noise blanker is very effective in reducing repetitive noises such as ignition interference.

Bright/Dim Switch

Switch to BRT or DIM to control the brightness of the channel indicator and multi-function meter for day or nighttime driving.

RF Gain Control
The RF Gain is used to optimize reception in strong or weak signal areas.

Rotate the RF Gain knob counterclockwise to reduce gain in strong signal areas. In weak signal areas turn clockwise to increase gain.

Note
The RF Gain is used to optimize reception in weak signal areas.

Setting Delta-Tune
Delta-Tune functions as a “fine tune” control enabling you to capture a more readable signal, as well as eliminate adjacent channel interference.

Rotate the Delta-Tune knob to the centre position for optimum tuning.

Setting Squelch
Squelch is the “control gate” for incoming signals.

1. Full clockwise rotation closes the gate allowing only very strong signals to enter.
2. Full counterclockwise rotation opens the “gate” allowing all signals in.
3. To achieve the Desired Squelch Setting (DSS), turn the Squelch control counterclockwise until you hear noise. Now turn the control clockwise just until the noise stops. This is the DSS setting.

To Transmit

Caution!

• Be sure the antenna is properly connected to the radio before transmitting. Prolonged transmitting without an antenna, or a poorly matched antenna, could cause damage to the transmitter.
• Be sure to read the F.C.C. Rules and Regulations included with this unit before transmitting.

1. Select the desired channel.

Setting Dynamike®
This controls the microphone sensitivity (outgoing audio level).

1. Initially, set fully clockwise so that maximum voice volume is available. Dynamike® may have to be reduced in some conditions.

Transmit

1. Push and hold the button to transmit. The transmitter is now activated. When transmitting, hold the microphone two inches from your mouth and speak in a clear, normal voice. Release to receive.

RF Meter
This meter swings proportionately to the RF output (outgoing signal) while transmitting.

1. The S/RF-SWR-CAL switch must be in the S/RF position.

External Speaker
The external speaker jack is used for remote receiver monitoring.

Note

• The external speaker should have an 8-ohm impedance and be rated to handle at least 4.0 watts. When the external speaker is plugged in, the internal speaker is automatically disconnected.
• Cobra external speakers are rated at 10 watts.

1. Connect an external speaker to the external speaker jack on the rear panel.

PA (Public Address)

Note

• Speaker should have 8-ohm impedance and be rated to handle at least 4.0 watts.
• The speaker should be directed away from the microphone to prevent acoustic feedback.
• Activity on the CB channel will be heard through the PA speaker. Adjust volume control to a normal listening level.

1. Connect an external PA speaker to the PA jack on the rear panel.
2. Set CB/PA switch to PA position.
3. Push and hold the microphone button and speak in a normal voice. Your voice will now transmit on the PA speaker.
4. Adjust the PA speaker volume with the Dynamike® control.

Home And Office Set-Up

Warning!
Do not attempt to operate this transceiver by connecting it directly to 120v AC.

Note
