Introduction  
Owner’s Manual  
Our Thanks to You  
Thank you for purchasing a Cobra Bluetooth Handset.  
Properly used, this Cobra product will give you many years  
of reliable service.  
How Your Cobra Bluetooth Handset Works  
This handset allows use of mobile telephones (cell phones) while protecting them  
from potential damage in the outdoor environment.  
Bluetooth wireless technology allows voice and data transmission over short  
distances by means of a radio link. Using that technology, the Bluetooth handset  
allows your cell phone to be turned on and stowed in a waterproof and protected  
location on the vehicle. Calls are then made and received using the Bluetooth  
handset.

Press the Power button at the top of the handset for two seconds to turn it On  
or Off.  
When VOX is Off, you need to push the PTT button while speaking.  
The first time you turn On the Cobra Bluetooth handset you will see a message that  
the unit is ready for pairing with a cell phone. The message also provides a  
password. If you do not want to pair a device right away, press the Escape button to  
go to Standby mode.

Bluetooth device and go to Standby mode.

turned On, but new calls cannot be made or answered when Lock is On.

Limited 1-Year Warranty  
Maintenance  
For Products Purchased In The U.S.A.  
Very little maintenance is required to keep your Cobra Bluetooth handset in good  
operating condition:  
Cobra Electronics Corporation warrants that its Cobra Bluetooth handset, and the component  
parts thereof, will be free of defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one year  
from the date of first consumer purchase. This warranty may be enforced by the first  
consumer purchaser, provided that the product is used within the U.S.A.  
I
Keep the handset clean by wiping with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use solvents  
or harsh or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the case or scratch the LCD screen.  
I
I
If the handset is exposed to salt water, wipe with a soft, moist cloth at least once a day to  
prevent buildup of salt deposits, which could interfere with button operation.  
Cobra will, without charge, repair or replace, at its option, defective handsets, products or  
component parts upon delivery to the Cobra Factory Service department, accompanied by  
proof of the date of first consumer purchase, such as a duplicated copy of a sales receipt.  
To determine the software version in your handset, press and hold the PTT button  
while turning On the power. The version number will show on the LCD screen for  
five seconds, then proceed to normal startup.  
You must pay any initial shipping charges required to ship the product for warranty  
service, but the return charges will be at Cobra’s expense, if the product is repaired or  
replaced under warranty. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also  
have other rights which may vary from state to state.
