placing the handset in the base and letting it
charge overnight (at least 12 hours).
If you have recharged the battery for 12
hours or more and the handset does not
work when the TALK button is pressed, you
may need to replace the battery. To order a
new battery, call Cobra toll-free at 1-773-
889-3087, or remove it from the handset
and take it to a local hardware store or
home center store to be certain that you
are getting the proper replacement battery.
The rechargeable nickel-cadmium (NiCad)
battery in this product must be recycled or
disposed of properly in compliance with all
applicable laws. Certain states or
municipalities require recycling and have

handset is in the base, even after the
batteries are fully recharged. This will not
