Electromagnetic Interference
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility. Turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. These facilities may include hospitals or health care facilities that may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Staying in touch is convenient and easy when using your microTALK® radio. Some of the many uses you will discover include:
Communicating with others while hiking, biking, and working; keeping track of family and friends at a crowded public event; checking with travel companions; connecting with neighbors; arranging meeting spots with others while shopping at the mall, talking with your colleagues in store or warehouse.
Your microTALK® radio will give you years of trouble-free service if cared for properly. Handle the radio gently. Keep the radio away from dust. Never put the radio in water or in a damp place. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures.
To charge batteries in radio:
Only use the supplied rechargeable batteries and desktop charger for recharging your Cobra microTALK® radio.
Cobra recommends your radio is turned off while being charged.
For charging microTALK® radio(s) in desktop charger:
If charging light is not on, check position of radio. Radio should be upright. The charge indicator light will stay on as long as the radio is in the charging well, and the light will go off when the charging is complete.
Note: To charge a single radio, you can bypass the desktop charger and simply insert the micro-USB’s connector directly into the charge jack located on the left side of the radio.
The radio will display flashing battery icon while charging.
Cobra recommends your radio be turned off while being charged.

Turn the On-Off/Volume knob clockwise to turn the power on and set the desired listening volume.
CB Antenna
Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power output. In mobile installations (cars, trucks, boats, etc.), a system that is nondirectional 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.
NOTE
Cobra offers a line of antennas for use with your 19 Series CB Radio.
Consult your Cobra dealer or go to Cobra.com for antenna options.
Microphone Connector
Allows for convenient removal of the Microphone plug when storage is required. The Microphone MUST be connected to the unit at all times, when in use, for proper operation.
Operating Your Mobile Radio
Squelch
This control is used to cut off or eliminate receiver background noise in the absence of an incoming signal. Adjust until the receiver noise disappears. This will require the incoming signal to be slightly stronger than the average receiver noise. Further clockwise rotation will increase the threshold level which a signal must overcome in order to be heard. Only strong signals will be heard at a maximum clockwise setting. Squelch is the “control gate” for incoming signals.
To squelch your radio:
RF Gain
This control is used to adjust receiver sensitivity. Maximum sensitivity allows weak signals to be received. However, very strong signals (such as from a nearby transmitter) can cause distortion at that setting. Adjust until the distortion disappears. Reducing the receiver’s RF Gain eliminates distortion from very strong incoming signals. To set RF Gain:
Selecting a Channel
Rotate the Channel knob clockwise until the desired channel is displayed.
Channel 9/NOR/Channel 19
Set CH 9 to obtain instant access to the emergency channel. Set NOR position to use the channel knob to choose any of the 40 channels. Set CH 19 to obtain instant access to the information and calling channel.
CB/PA
In the CB position, the PA function is disabled and the unit will transmit and receive on the selected channel.
The PA function should not be used unless a PA speaker is connected.
In the PA position, the transmit function is disabled and the microphone output will go only to the PA speaker.
S/RF Power Meter
Shows relative transmitter RF output power and input signal strength when receiving. The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) segments increase with signal strength.
TX Indicator
The TX Indicator will light when in the transmit mode. “Busy” will appear when there is an incoming signal.
Ignition Noise Interference
The use of a mobile receiver at low signal levels is normally limited by the presence of electrical noise.
Under most operating conditions, when the signal level is adequate, the background noise does not present a serious problem. Also, when extremely low-level signals are being received, the transceiver may be operated with the vehicle engine turned off. The unit requires very little current and therefore will not significantly discharge the vehicle battery.
Even though this radio has an automatic noise limiter, in some installations ignition interference may be high enough to make good communications impossible. Consult your authorized Cobra dealer or a two-way radio technician for help in locating and correcting the source of severe noise
Operating Procedure to Receive
Be sure that the power cord, antenna, and microphone are connected to the proper connectors before proceeding further (see pages 4 and 5). The CB/PA switch should be in the CB position.
To receive:
Operating Procedure to Transmit
Be sure the antenna is properly connected to the radio before transmitting. Prolonged transmitting without an antenna, or with a poorly matched antenna, could cause damage to the transmitter.
To transmit:
Your Cobra CB transceiver is specifically designed for the environment encountered in mobile installations. The use of all-solid-state circuitry and its lightweight result in high reliability. Should a failure occur, however, review the following, then if necessary, replace parts only with identical parts? Do not substitute.
The Cobra 19 Series radio transceiver represents one of the most advanced AM two-way radios for use as a Class D station in the Citizens Radio Service.
This unit features advanced Phase Lock Loop (PLL) circuitry providing complete cover age of all 40 CB channels.
