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.

Note
. .In.a.negative.grounded.vehicle,.connect.the.
red.lead.of.the.DC.power.cord.to.an.accessory.
12.volt.fuse.
In positive ground vehicles the
red wire goes to the chassis and
the black wire is connected to
the ignition switch.
. .Connect.the.black.lead.to.the.negative.side.
of.the.vehicle..This.is.usually.the.chassis..Any.

Note
When connected to an acces-
sory fuse, unit will self test

automatically when ignition
is turned on. Turns itself on & off.

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.
