If threatening weather is nearby, the National Weather
Service may broadcast a 10 second alert tone. This
tone will be heard through the CB, even if the CB/WX
Control is in the CB mode or the unit is turned off.
This enables you to monitor CB frequencies and still be
warned by the National Weather Service Emergency
Alert. When you hear the alert, press the CB/WX button
in the WX mode. You will then be able to listen to the
Weather Warning Broadcast.
Your 29 LX MAX has a special auto squelch circuit for
weather transmission which disables your squelch
control.

and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA), of the U.S. Department of
Commerce. 380 NWR stations 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

informed of weather conditions, 24
hours a day, 7 days a week.
To play back the recorded memo, double press and

Warning!
Do not attempt to operate this

To operate your transceiver from home or office
you will need a 13.2 volt DC Power Pack rated at a

—
	Plug the power cable into the back of the unit
marked “Power”. Be sure to observe the polarity
markings.
	Connect the properly installed and matched base

Temporary Mobile Operation
For temporary mobile operation you may want to
purchase an optional cigarette lighter adapter from
your COBRA dealer. This adapter and a magnetic
mount antenna allow you to quickly “install” your

A Few Rules You Should Know
A. 	Conversations cannot last more than 5 minutes with
another station. A one minute break is required to
let others use the channel.
B. You cannot blast others off the air by use of
illegally amplified transmitters or illegally
high antennas.
C. You cannot use CB to promote illegal activities.
D. Profanity is not allowed.
E. You may not transmit music with a CB.
F. Selling of merchandise and/or services
is prohibited.
The FCC gives these examples of permitted and
prohibited messages for channel 9. These are only
guidelines and not all-inclusive:
Permitted
Example Message
Yes
“Tornado sighted six miles north
of town.”
No
“Post number 10.
No tornado sighted.”
Yes
“Out of gas on I-95 at mile
marker 211.”
No
“Out of gas in my driveway.”
Yes
“Four car accident on I-94 at
Exit 11. Send police and
ambulance.”
No
“Traffic moving smoothly on I-94.”
Yes
“Weather Bureau has issued
thunderstorm warning.
Bring sailboat into port.”
No
“Attention motorists.
Weather Bureau advises snow 		
tomorrow will accumulate
4 to 6 inches.”
Yes
“Fire in building at 539 Main, 		
Evanston.”
No
“Halloween patrol number 3.
All quiet.”
1.	 Set to channel 9 for emergencies
Be sure antenna is properly connected.
2.	CB Distress Data
When transmitting an emergency, you should
request a “REACT BASE” and provide the CB
distress data (called CLIP):
C all Sign
Identify yourself.
L ocation
Be exact.
I njuries
Number. Type. Trapped?
P roblem
Give details and help needed.
Note
If no response on channel 9,
try channels 19 or 14.
Transmit CLIP repeatedly so any monitor can assist.

gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Immediately following the above notice, the manufacturer shall provide a list of all antenna types
approved for use with the transmitter, indicating the maximum permissible antenna gain (in dBi)
and required impedance for each.
FRENCH: Le présent émetteur radio (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification ou son
numéro de modèle s’il fait partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada
pour fonctionner avec les types d’antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible
maximal et l’impédance requise pour chaque type d’antenne. Les types d’antenne non inclus
dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits
pour l’exploitation de l’émetteur.
IC RSS-102, Sec 2.6 Warning Statement
The applicant is responsible for providing proper instructions to the user of the radio device,
and any usage restrictions, including limits of exposure durations. The user manual shall provide
installation and operation instructions, as well as any special usage conditions, to ensure
compliance with SAR and/or RF field strength limits. For instance, compliance distance shall be
clearly stated in the user manual.
The user manual of devices intended for controlled use shall also include information relating to
the operating characteristics of the device; the operating instructions to ensure compliance with
SAR and/or RF field strength limits; information on the installation and operation of accessories
to ensure compliance with SAR and/or RF field strength limits; and contact information where the
user can obtain Canadian information on RF exposure and compliance. Other related information
may also be included.
ENGLISH: This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation

FCC regulations permit only “transmissions”
(one party to another) rather than “broadcasts”
(to a wide audience). Thus, advertising is not
allowed on CB Channels because that is “broadcasting.”
All transmitter adjustments other than those
supplied by the manufacturer as front panel
operating controls, must be made by, or under
the supervision of, the holder of an FCC-issued
General Radio-Telephone Operator’s License.
