S-MTR EXT.SP. + POWER – 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 Mounting and Connection 1 Note Thetransceiverisheldinthe universalmountingbracketby twothumbscrewswhichallow foradjustmentataconvenient angle. 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. 3 Connect the antenna cable plug to the receptacle marked “ANT” on the back of the unit. Thebracketincludestwoself- tappingscrewsandstarwashers.Themountingmustbe mechanicallystrong,convenientlylocated. 2 Drill the holes and secure the bracket. 2 29LXEU_MANL_ENG_vD.indd 2-3 continued 3 1/11/12 10:09 AM Installation Installation Note 12V Dashboard Connection Radiois12VDCandcanbe connectedviavehicle’scigarette lighterplug. S-MTR EXT.SP. + POWER – Before installing the CB radio to the battery or fuse block, visually check the vehicle’s battery connection to determine which terminal, positive or negative, is earthed (positive is the larger of the two) to the engine block (or chassis). A negatively earthed vehicle has its negative lead grounded to the chassis. Direct Wiring 6 Plug power cable into back of 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. Bracket should be placed under the dash so microphone is readily accessible.

Note Note Inpositiveearthvehiclesthered wiregoestothechassisandthe blackwireisconnectedtothe ignitionswitch. 4 29LXEU_MANL_ENG_vD.indd 4-5 4 In a negative earthed 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 a good electrical contact (remove paint) may be used. If microphone is not connected, audio will not be heard at speaker. 8 Attach the 4-pin microphone cable to receptacle on front of unit and install unit in bracket securely. 5 1/11/12 10:09 AM Antennas Ignition Noise Interference CB Antenna CB Antenna Since the maximum allowable power output of the transmitter is limited, 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.

S-MTR EXT.SP. + POWER – Note Becausemanynewertrucks featurefibreglassdoorskins, theoutsidemirrormustbe earthedtothechassisviaa earthstrap,iftheantennais mountedonthemirrorbracket. 1 A standard antenna connector is provided on the transceiver for easy connection.

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 earthing system and prevention of electrolysis between fittings in the hull and water. 6 29LXEU_MANL_ENG_vD.indd 6-7 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 signal level is adequate, the backearth 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 LX EU 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 a severe noise. 7 1/11/12 10:09 AM Operation Operation Turning On Turning On Note Beforeusingthistransceiver, pleasecheckthattheradiohas beenprogrammedonthe frequencybandspecifications andoperatingmodesallowed bytheregulationsvalidinthe countrywheretheproductis used.Ifnot,pleaseproceedto modifythefrequencyband programming,asdescribedon page17.Thistransceiverisprogrammedatthefactoryonthe EUfrequencyband(40CHAM 1W/40CHFM4W).
