Introduction
Getting Started
Refer to the foldout at the front of this manual to identify the
various controls and indicators on your radio. Throughout
this manual you will be instructed to “Press” or to “Press
and Hold” various buttons (except “Push to Talk”) on the
radio. “Press” means a momentary press of approximately
one (1) second. “Press and Hold” means to hold the button
down for approximately three (3) seconds.
Whenever you press any button except the Talk button on
your radio, a brief tone (beep) will sound to confirm the
button press. With all button presses, the appropriate icon
will appear on the LCD and the backlight will turn On. The
backlight will stay on for 10 seconds after the button is
released.
At times, you will hear two (2) other sounds. Two (2) beeps
will sound to confirm your setting changes and three (3)
beeps will sound to notify you of an error.

Batteries and Charger Getting Started
Maintaining the Battery Charge
As you use your radio, the battery power icon will show the
battery power remaining. When the icon begins to flash, it is
time to recharge or change the batteries.
NOTICE
Use only the drop-in charger provided by Cobra. Do
not use the charger with alkaline batteries; only the
lithium-ion (LiON) battery pack is rechargeable. Spent
alkaline batteries must be discarded and replaced.
It is a good idea to keep a set of fresh, high-quality AA
alkaline batteries with your radio. Should the rechargeable
battery pack become discharged and no electrical power
source is available, you can insert the alkaline battery tray
with fresh alkaline batteries and continue to use your radio.
NOTE
Some radios with LiON batteries have AA or AAA
battery packs which only allow low power transmit.
The optional AA battery tray for the MR HH425LI and
a fresh set of alkaline batteries will allow for full
power emergency transmissions.
