Select a location that is convenient for operation, yet does not interfere with the driver or passenger. FCC ID:BBOK9LTD COBA ANT USB EXT IC EXT. PTT EXT.SP. +POWE The transceiver is usually mounted to the underside of the dash with the microphone bracket beside it. ounting and Connection The transceiver is held in the universal mounting bracket by two thumbscrews which allow for adjustment at a convenient angle. ounting and Connection 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. Connect the antenna cable plug to the receptacle marked ANT on the back of the unit. The bracket includes two selftapping screws and star washers. The mounting must be mechanically strong, conveniently located. Drill the holes and secure the bracket. continued

3 Installation Installation 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. FCC ID:BBOK9LTD COBA ADE IN CHINA 6 ANT USB EXT IC EXT. PTT EXT.SP. +POWE Plug power cable into back of unit marked Power. Be sure to observe polarity markings. 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. When connected to an accessory fuse, unit will self test the emergency weather alert automatically when ignition is turned on. Turns itself on & off. 4 5 In a negative grounded vehicle, connect the red lead of the DC power cord to an accessory volt fuse. 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. 7 8 ount 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.

4 Antennas Ignition Noise Interference CB Antenna For optimum performance in passenger cars the ideal antenna location is on the center of the roof. Second choice is on the center of the trunk. Because many newer trucks feature fiberglass door skins, the outside mirror must be grounded to the chassis via a ground strap, if the antenna is mounted on the mirror bracket. -way Combination Antennas are also available which allow operation of all three bands (A-F & 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. Call for further information. CB Antenna Since the maximum allowable power output of the transmitter is limited by the FCC, 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. For models with Weather Feature (WX), a Dual Band (Center Load/Base Load) antenna is recommended. Consult your Cobra dealer for further details, or call and speak to a Cobra representative. FCC ID:BBOK9LTD COBA ADE IN CHINA ANT USB EXT IC EXT. PTT EXT.SP. +POWE A standard antenna connector is provided on the transceiver for easy connection. arine 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. 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 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 9 LX BT has an automatic noise limiter, in some installations ignition interference may be high enough to make good communications impossible. any possibilities exist and variations between vehicles require different solutions. Consult your Cobra dealer or a -way radio technician for help in locating the source of a severe noise. 6 7
