Installation  
Note  
Before installing the CB radio,  
visually check the vehicle’s  
battery connection to deter-  
mine which terminal, positive  
or negative, is grounded (pos-  
itive is the larger of the two)  
to the engine block (or chas-  
sis). A negatively grounded  
vehicle has its negative lead  
grounded to the chassis.  
Note  
Connecting to an accessory fuse  
prevents the unit from being left  
on accidentally, and also per-  
mits operating the unit without  
running the engine.

Antennas  
CB Antenna  
Note  
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.maxi-  
mum.power.output..Cobra.loaded.type.antenna.  
models.are.highly.recommended.for.most.instal-  
lations..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.773.889.3087.and.speak.to.a.  
Cobra.representative..  
For optimum performance in  
passenger cars the ideal anten-  
na location is on the center of  
the roof. Second choice is on the  
center of the trunk.  
Note  
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.  
Note  
1
3-way Combination Antennas  
are also available which allow  
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. Call 773-  
889-3087 for further informa-  
tion.  
.
.A.standard.antenna.connector.is.provided..  
on.the.transceiver.for.easy.connection.  
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  
Use.of.a.mobile.receiver.at.low.signal.levels.is.  
normally.limited.by.the.presence.of.electrical.  
noise..The.primary.source.of.noise.in.automo-  
biles.is.from.the.alternator.and.ignition.system..  
Typically,.when.signal.level.is.adequate,.the.back-  
ground.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.signifi-  
cantly.discharge.the.vehicle’s.battery.  
Even.though.the.Cobra.29.LX.LE.has.an.auto-  
matic.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.

What is Weather Radio?  
NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) is a  
service of the National Oceanic  
and Atmospheric Administration  
(NOAA), of the U.S. Department  
of Commerce. 380 NWR sta-  
tions are in operation by the  
U.S. Government in addition to  
several NWR stations that are  
maintained by private interest  
groups. The capability is to sup-  
plement warnings by sirens and  
by commercial radio and televi-  
sion. The 10 National Weather  
Channels provide full cover-  
age to keep you informed of  
weather conditions, 24 hours a  
day, 7 days a week.
