How To Use Your Cobra ® Cordless Telephone Model CP-2505 U.S. PATENT 4876709 U.S. PATENT 5351284 Introduction Thank you for your purchase of a Cobra® Intenna® Cordless Telephone — the world’s first and only full-range-power cordless telephone without any external antennas! No more extending, bending, or breaking the antennas found on other cordless phones — your Cobra Intenna conceals its antenna systems inside the handset and base, where they should be, out of your way.
Installation Information Maximum range is obtained by installing the base unit in the highest living area of your home. The location you choose must be near an electrical outlet and a telephone wall jack.
Quick Set-Up Guide The following basic steps enable quick and easy installation of your new Cobra Intenna Cordless Phone for use on a desk or countertop. You are encouraged to review this complete instruction manual to become familiar with all of the operating instructions and features of your new phone. NOTE: Before using, connect your new system to AC power (see instructions below) to charge it overnight (at least 12 hours) for optimum conditioning of the rechargeable battery inside the cordless handset.
Wall Mounting Instructions The following steps enable installation on a new or existing telephone wallmounting plate or directly onto a wall. (Your Cobra Intenna is designed to be used with any AT & T, GTE, local phone company or other wall-mounting plates that can be purchased from most local electronics stores.) • Run telephone cord through cord wrap channel on bottom of base. (As shown). • Plug modular phone connector into telephone wall jack.
Using Your Phone After charging the handset batteries overnight (at least 12 hours), your Cobra Intenna cordless phone will be ready for use. ANSWERING/PLACING CALLS AT THE BASE • To answer a call, just pick up handset from base when the phone rings. TALK indicator will automatically light. When call is completed, return handset to base without pressing TALK button; your phone automatically disconnects.
Cordless Phone Operational Features The following features offer state-of-the-art performance and the ultimate in userfriendly convenience with your new Cobra Intenna cordless telephone. BATTERY SAVER CIRCUITRY The handset of this phone may be kept away from the base (TALK indicator OFF) up to 14 days at a time. In this condition, it is ready for you to answer or place calls by pressing and releasing the TALK button.
HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY Your cordless telephone handset is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids (HAC). HOLD After you put a call on hold, your Intenna automatically releases when you, or someone else, picks up another handset on the same line. No need to come back and turn it off, because it turns itself off automatically. SYSTEM The revolutionary, patented Intenna hidden-antenna system is a Cobra exclusive.
OUT-OF-RANGE SIGNAL If three beeps are heard immediately after the TALK button is pressed, the handset is too far away from the base. The handset and TALK indicator will automatically turn off. Move closer to the base and then try your call again. POWER PROTECTOR™ SYSTEM Although the handset is battery powered, the base obtains its power from the AC outlet. No AC, no power. This could be of critical importance should an emergency occur during a power failure.
Rechargeable Handset Battery Information NOTE: Before using your new Cobra Intenna cordless telephone for the first time, you must charge the battery overnight (at least 12 hours) for optimum long-life conditioning of the nickel-cadmium rechargeable handset battery.
REPLACING THE HANDSET BATTERY (continued) 1. To remove the battery door, press and slide downward. 2. Carefully disconnect the battery pack and dispose of it properly. See BATTERY DISPOSAL below. 3. To replace, observe connection orientation and connect the new battery and replace the door. Return the handset to the base and charge the battery overnight (at least 12 hours).
About Cordless Phone Performance Your Cobra Intenna cordless phone uses radio transmission to communicate between the base and handset. It is thus subject to occasional interference— static or buzzing noises, for example. These conditions may be caused by electrical motors on household appliances, fluorescent lights, electrical storms and other sources.
Cordless Telephone Troubleshooting Guide If your cordless phone does not seem to operate properly, please check the following and refer to the appropriate sections in this booklet for detailed information: • The phone is dead; no indicator lights are on: Are the power adapter and telephone cord connected? • Handset beeps during conversations or when away from the base: The batteries need recharging; return the handset to the base for overnight recharging.
