To minimize or prevent such
interference, the base of the cordless
telephone should not be placed near or
on top ofTV’s or VCR’s. If interference is
experienced, moving the cordless
telephone base further away from the
TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate
the interference.

INTERCOM/PAGING SYSTEM
For telephone banking or alternate long
distance service, you may need to program a
number that is longer than 16 digits. To do so,
you will need to divide the number between
two different memory locations. Example:
Store an alternate long distance access
number in location 1 and your personal
indentification number for that service in
location 2. Please call your Cobra Consultant
at 1-773-889-3087 for additional guidance.
Call Dad to dinner, monitor the baby while you
do laundry or keep an ear out to make sure
that the children aren’t hurt. These options,
along with many others, are at your fingertips
with your Cobra Intenna because it doubles
as a two-way intercom/paging system
between the base and the handset—and
outside calls will still come through! If you
should misplace the handset, simply activate
the pager and follow the signal until you
locate it.

Answering System comes equipped with Voice
Mailboxes (similar to those found in many
businesses) that let callers select and direct
their message to the entire household or just
one of the 4 individual ”Mailboxes”. This feature
is especially useful in households where
teenagers are present, where one or more
family members receives numerous calls or for
families with home-based businesses. A great
idea for roommates, too! The advantages, of
course, are that callers can leave private
messages for specific individuals and other
members of the household won’t have to
listen to, speed through or accidentally erase
messages that aren’t for them.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES OF YOUR NEW
COBRA INTENNA CORDLESS
• H E A R IN G A ID
• ILLU M IN A T E D K E Y P A D
When the phone rings, you lift the handset or
touch any button, the keypad automatically lights
up, making it easy to read and use, even in the
darkest room or late at night.
• R IN G E R S W IT C H
You’re taking a nap, watching your favorite
TV show or just got the baby to sleep and
don’t want to be disturbed. Temporarily turn
off the ringer by moving the switch on the

answering system remains on, taking

C O M P A T IB LE (H A C )
Your Cobra Intenna handset is specially
designed to be compatible with standard
hearing aid systems.
TELEPHONE ANSWERING SYSTEM
Aside from the features that have already
been outlined, your Cobra Intenna Cordless
Telephone Answering System is easier to
program and use than ever before because
many of the features you want most are built
right in—You don’t have to do a thing!
• E LE C T R O N IC H O LD
• O U T- O F - R A N G E S IG N A L
When you press the TALK button and
immediately hear three beeps, you know
your handset is too far away from the base
to work properly. Move closer to the base
and try your call again.
Save time and steps in houses with more than
one telephone. After you’ve 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.
Combine this with the Intercom feature for
added convenience. (See p. 14).
• 2 - D IG IT D IS P LA Y C O D E S
Easy-to-understand LED codes tell you
instantly if there are messages waiting or a
system problem.
• B U ILT- IN A N T E N N A
There’s no unsightly antenna to extend,
nothing to get bent or broken or possibly
even cause physical harm, because
antennas are built into the handset and base.
That, along with our Clear Call® PLUS
Compander Noise Reduction system which
minimizes background noise and
interference for optimum audio performance,
makes the Intenna quality comparable to a
standard corded phone.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY INFORMATION
R e p la c in g Th e B a t t e r y
To D is p o s e O f Y o u r B a t t e r y
Your phone uses a Ni-Cad battery which can
lose its ability to take a charge after several
hundred hours of use. If you notice a
shorter talk time after charging, your battery
may need replacing.
If you have recharged the battery for 12
hours or more and the handset does not
work when the TALK button is pressed, you
may need to replace the battery. To order a
new battery, call Cobra toll-free at 1-773-
889-3087, or remove it from the handset
and take it to a local hardware store or
home center store to be certain that you
are getting the proper replacement battery.
The rechargeable nickel-cadmium (NiCad)
battery in this product must be recycled or
disposed of properly in compliance with all
applicable laws. Certain states or
municipalities require recycling and have
established collection programs. Please
contact your local waste removal authority
for instruction or return to Cobra for
recycling. Wrap carefully and mail postage
prepaid to:
Your Cobra Intenna Cordless Telephone
Answering System comes complete with a
rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery
already in the handset. You will need to
charge the battery by plugging in the base,
placing the handset in the base and letting it
charge overnight (at least 12 hours).
B a t t e r y R e c h a r g in g
There are three things that can happen to
indicate that your handset battery needs
recharging. When one of these three things
occurs, you will need to return the handset
to the base and recharge for at least 12
continuous hours.

“Contains Nickel-Cadmium

The two metal charging contacts on both
the handset and the base should be
cleaned regularly with a soft, dry cloth for
optimum recharging performance.
NOTE:To prevent your batteries from
running out of power, Cobra suggests that
you leave the handset in the base as much
as possible when not in use. The CHARGE
indicator will remain on as long as the
handset is in the base, even after the
batteries are fully recharged. This will not
damage the batteries.
