Hold Cobra 75 ST EU transceiver bracket in exact location desired for mounting. Using it as a template, mark the location for the mounting screws (included.)
Make certain that nothing will interfere with the installation of mounting screws, before drilling holes.
Note
Do not mount under the hood, near heat ducts or in direct line of the car’s heater.

Mounting and Connections
Mounting and Connections
The Transceiver is held by two screws, permitting mounting in the manner most convenient for your installation. Mounting hardware is supplied for mounting the Transceiver. The mounting must be mechanically strong and also provide a good electrical connection to the chassis of the vehicle. Proceed as follows to mount junction box: 1 After you have determined the most convenient location in your vehicle, hold the Cobra 75 ST EU Transceiver in the exact location desired. If nothing will interfere with mounting it in the desired position, use the Transceiver as a template to mark the location for the mounting screws. Before drilling the holes, make sure nothing will interfere with the installation of the mounting screws. 2 Connect the antenna cable connector to the antenna receptacle on the unit. Most CB antennas are terminated with a type PL-259 plug and mate with the receptacle.

Mounting and Connections Caution
Leaving the 75 ST EU on after your car is turned off can drain your car battery when connected to a constant 12 volt source. When connected to an accessory 12 volt source the unit will turn off when vehicle is turned off.

3
For constant 12 volt source power, remove the cigarette lighter plug and connect the red wire marked “BATT(+)” directly to the positive side of the battery or to a connection on the fuse block that is always on. Connect the black wire “Ground” to the negative side of the car, usually the chassis. Any other location with good electrical contact (paint removed) will also work.
Connect the control unit to the front connector.

CB Antenna Installation
CB Antenna
For the most reliable operation and maximum range, Cobra recommends using a vertically polarized, quarter wave length whip antenna (illustration A).
Note
Mobile installations (cars, trucks, boats, etc) should be made only with a non-directional antenna system.
External Speaker Installation
External Speaker Installation 1 2
Mount external speaker in desired location. Plug jack into the back of the Transceiver labeled EXT. *The external speaker should have 4-8 ohms impedance and be able to handle at least 4 watts.
Note
Internal speaker is muted when external speaker is connected.
Shorter, loaded-type whips are adequate when maximum range is not required (illustration B).
A standard antenna connector (Type SO-239) is provided on the Connector Box for easy connection to a standard PL-259 cable termination. Cobra antenna models are recommended; see your local CB dealer or order directly from Cobra (see page 32).

Ignition Noise Interference
Ignition Noise Interference
For maximum efficiency in boat installations, a ground plate is required, unless the vessel has a steel hull. Consult your CB dealer for information regarding an adequate grounding system.
The alternator and ignition system in your vehicle may limit your ability to receive low signal levels. Other noise interference can be the result of several different installation variables. Consult your Cobra dealer or a 2-way radio technician to help locate and correct the source of severe noise interference.

Note
Sound clarity is measured by the ratio of the signal level to the noise level. The higher the signal-tonoise ratio, the better the sound.

Operation NOTICE!
Before using this transceiver, please check that the radio has been programmed on the frequency band specifications and operating modes allowed by the regulations valid in the country where the product is used. If not, please proceed to modify the frequency band programming, as described below. This transceiver is programmed at the factory on the EU1 frequency band (40 CH AM 4W/40 CH FM 4W).
To Program Radio to Country of Usage 1
Press and hold the ST (SoundTracker ) button.

CB Antenna
Only a properly matched Antenna system will allow maximum power output. In mobile installations (cars, trucks, boats, etc.), an Antenna system that is non-directional 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.

To set the “squelch gate” to the DSS-Desired Squelch Setting, turn the squelch control counterclockwise until you hear noise. Then turn the squelch control back clockwise just until the noise stops. Now only strong signals get through. The Desired Squelch Setting, (DSS) only allows actual transmissions to come through. This effectively blocks out unwanted noise.
