Operation Turning on Your Radio Turning on Turn volume control clockwise to turn power on and set the desired listening volume. OFF CB Antenna Note Cobra loaded-type antenna models HGA 1000, HGA 1500, and HGA 2000 are highly recommended for most installations. Consult your Cobra dealer for further details (or see order form at the back of this book). 3-Way Combination Antennas are available which allow operation of all three bands (AM-FM & CB), using a single antenna. However, use of this type of antenna usually results in less than normal transmit and receive range when compared to a standard-type "Single Band" antenna designed for CB only. CB Antenna Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power output. In mobile installations (cars, trucks, boats, etc.), an antenna system that is non-directional should be used. When installed in a boat, the transceiver will not operate at maximum efficiency without a ground plate unless the vessel has a steel hull. Before installing the transceiver in a boat, consult your dealer for information regarding an adequate grounding system. 4
