police, fire stations, hospitals and clinics). The database may not include all emergency  
service providers. Use judgment and ask for directions in these situations.  
Before installing and using the Cobra 7700 Pro system, please read these general  
warnings and precautions. Without reading this important safety information, the user  
may be placed in a dangerous situation or may damage the unit before having any  
practical use from it. It is strongly recommended to read this entire manual to be familiar  
with the system’s features, and to know how to operate it.  
DO NOT position the unit in a location that obstructs the driver’sview of the road,  
instruments or controls to operate the vehicle.  
DO NOT drive the vehicle unless the unit is securely attached to the windshield with  
the supplied bracket and suction cup or is fastened by other reliable means to keep it  
from becoming a projectile hazard inside the vehicle in the event of a violent maneu-  
ver or collision.  
WARNING SYMBOLS AND STATEMENTS  
Please pay special attention to the WARNING symbols and statements in this manual.  
WARNING Statements identify conditions that could result in personal injury or  
loss of life.  
DO NOT disassemble or modify the system; personal injury or damage could result. If  
a problem occurs, stop using the system immediately and contact Cobra. Changes or  
modifications to the system may void its compliance with FCC rules and make it illegal  
to use.  
WARNINGS:  
DO NOT mount the unit over airbag panels or within airbag expansion spaces.  
The force of an expanding airbag can thrust objects in its path toward the driver or  
passengers with injurious result.  
DO position the unit so the screen can be viewed with just a quick glance.  
DO set the volume at a level that will allow the hearing of outside traffic and  
emergency services.  
DO NOT think this 7700 Pro is a substitute for personal judgment. The route sug-  
gestions should never supersede any local traffic regulation, personal judgment or  
knowledge of safe driving practices. Before making any maneuvers suggested by the  
7700 Pro system (for example, a U-turn or a left turn), verify that the maneuver can  
be legally and safely completed. Do not follow route suggestions if they suggest an  
unsafe or illegal maneuver, would place the vehicle in an unsafe situation or would  
route the vehicle into an area that could be unsafe.  
DO NOT program this 7700 Pro while driving. Only a passenger should operate con-  
trols or program the unit while the vehicle is in motion. The driver should not program  
the system unless the vehicle is parked in a safe location.

3. Installing the 7700 Pro using the Windshield Suction Cup bracket  
Operating Instructions  
You can mount your 7700 Pro to the inside of your vehicles windshield using the  
windshield bracket provided.  
1. Starting Up  
Once the battery is fully charged, it is time to perform the first Start Up.  
Bracket  
adjusters  
Clean the area where you wish to position the bracket  
thoroughly with a high quality glass cleaner. This  
allows a more secure seal on the windshield.  
Assemble the suction cup bracket. Slide the mount  
clip onto the end of the suction cup arm and tighten  
both plastic nuts.  
Place the suction cup and bracket on the windshield  
and push the locking lever towards the  
windshield to secure the bracket.  
Adjust the angle of the bracket so that when the  
unit is attached to it you can view the display and  
operate the controls safely.  
First make sure your vehicle is parked in as open a space as possible, clear of tall  
trees and buildings so that the built in GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky above.  
Next, make sure the Battery ON/OFF switch located on the back of the unit to the ‘ON’  
position. Press and hold the standby power switch on the top right side of the unit for  
2 seconds.  
Locking  
lever  
While the 7700 Pro software is loading, a start-up display will be shown for just a  
few seconds and then an ‘Information Screenwill be displayed. Press the ‘I Agree’  
button and the screen will display a section of a map.  
Position the 7700 Pro onto the bracket, by clipping  
it on it as indicated. Remove the 7700 Pro by pulling  
the tab and sliding the unit upwards and off  
the bracket.  
The 7700 Pro needs to acquire a minimum of four satellites in order to work. Once this  
has been achieved, the unit will ascertain your position and display a green arrow icon  
on the on-screen map. The GPS signal strength will be shown to the bottom right hand  
corner of the display. Your 7700 Pro is now ready to navigate.  
As the GPS engine and antenna have never been used before, the first ‘Cold’ start  
could take anywhere from 15 – 50 minutes to establish a satellite connection. Once  
initialized, subsequent start ups will take less time and eventually should take only  
a matter of minutes.  
NOTE: Only use the cigarette lighter power cable provided with the 7700 Pro.  
Using any other cigarette lighter power cable could damage your device and void  
the warranty.  
NOTE: Mounting your 7700 Pro in close proximity to a CB radio may interfere with  
GPS reception. Should you encounter such interference, position your 7700 Pro as  
far away from your CB radio as possible.
