Transmit Power Output
Your radio can Transmit selectively at 1 or 25 watts of power. Cobra suggests you
maintain the low power setting for short-range communications and to avoid
overpowering nearby stations with your signal. Use the high power setting for
long-range communications or when you do not receive a response
to a signal sent at 1 watt.
To Toggle Between The High And Low P
ower Modes:
Press
the High/Low Power button.
The LCD will show which mode is in effect.
Some channels are restricted to use at a maximum of
one (1) watt. Your radio will automatically set the power
to Low Power mode when you select those channels.
While using the U.S.A. channel map, if, in an emergency,
you need to increase the output power on Channel 13 and
Channel 67 for your signal to be heard, you ca
n override
the Low
Power mode by pressing and holding the
High/Low Power button.
