Select a location that is convenient for operation, yet does not interfere with the driver or passenger. The transceiver is usually mounted to the underside of the dash with the microphone bracket beside it. Mounting and Connection 1 Hold the radio with the mounting bracket in the exact desired location. If there is no interference, remove the bracket and use it as a template to mark the location for the mounting screws. Installation Location Mounting and Connection Note The transceiver is held in the universal mounting bracket by two thumbscrews which allow for adjustment at a convenient angle. The bracket includes two self-tapping screws and star washers. The mounting must be mechanically strong, conveniently located. Installation ANT PA.SP. EXT.SP.
+ POWER 3 Connect the antenna cable plug to the receptacle marked ANT on the back of the unit. 2 Drill the holes and secure the bracket. 2 continued 3 AW-1210041-1B_29NWLTD_CLASSIC_MANL REV_022021.indd 2-3 AW-1210041-1B_29NWLTD_CLASSIC_MANL REV_022021.indd 2-3 2/24/21 2:57 PM 2/24/21 2:57 PM Installation Installation For best performance, we recommend the radio be connected directly to the battery. Note Note Before installing the CB radio, visually check the vehicles battery connection to determine which terminal is positive or negative. A negatively grounded vehicle has its negative lead grounded to the chassis. Note Connecting to an accessory fuse prevents the unit from being left on accidentally, and also permits operating the unit without running the engine. 4 5 In a negative grounded vehicle, connect the red lead of the DC power cord to an accessory 12 volt fuse. Connect the black lead to the negative side of the vehicle. This is usually the chassis. Any convenient location with a good electrical contact (remove paint) may be used. ANT PA.SP. EXT.SP.
+ POWER Plug power cable into back of unit marked Power. Be sure to observe polarity markings. 6 7 Mount the microphone bracket on either side of the unit (drivers left) using two screws supplied. Bracket should be placed under the dash so microphone is readily accessible. SWR 2 3 CAL RF RF SIG 1 3 5 7 9 +30dB 29 NW N B /

The primary source of noise in automobiles is from the alternator and ignition system. Typically, when 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 vehicles engine turned off. The unit requires very little current and therefore will not significantly discharge the vehicles battery. Even though the Cobra 29 NW has an automatic noise limiter, in some installations ignition interference may be high enough to make good communications impossible. Many possibilities exist and variations between vehicles require different solutions. Consult your COBRA dealer or a 2-way radio technician for help in locating the source of a severe noise. Antennas CB Antenna Note For optimum performance in passenger cars the ideal antenna location is on the center of the roof. Second choice is on the center of the trunk. Note Because many newer trucks feature fiberglass door skins, the outside mirror must be grounded to the chassis via ground strap, if the antenna is mounted on the mirror bracket. Note 3-way Combination Antennas are also available which allow operation of all three bands
(AM-FM & CB), using a single antenna. However, this type of antenna usually results in less than normal transmit and receive range when compared to a standard-type Single Band CB antenna. CB Antenna Since the maximum allowable power output of the transmitter is limited by the FCC, the antenna is critical in affecting transmission distance. Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power output. Cobra loaded type antenna models are highly recommended for most installations. Consult your Cobra dealer for further details, or visit or website:
www.cobra.com. ANT PA.SP. EXT.SP.
+ POWER 1 A standard antenna connector is provided on the transceiver for easy connection. Marine Installation The transceiver will not operate at maximum efficiency in a boat without a ground plane,
(unless it has a steel hull). Before attempting installation , consult your dealer for information regarding an adequate grounding system and prevention of electrolysis between fittings in the hull and water. 6 7 AW-1210041-1B_29NWLTD_CLASSIC_MANL REV_022021.indd 6-7 AW-1210041-1B_29NWLTD_CLASSIC_MANL REV_022021.indd 6-7 2/24/21 2:57 PM 2/24/21 2:57 PM Operation Turning On Operation Setting Channel Selector Setting Channel Selector Turning On Make sure the power cord, antenna and microphone are connected to their proper connectors before starting.

We suggest performing this calibration procedure before placing the meter function switch into the SWR position and anytime the antenna or coax cable is replaced to confirm antenna system performance. PUSH &
