Simply repeat the steps under “To Store A

page. The new number will automatically  
replace the previous number stored.  
Memory dialing lets you store and dial 10  
commonly-called telephone numbers  
automatically. No more fumbling with the  
phone book, guessing at numbers or  
accidentally misdialing the people you call  
most.  
NOTE: Numbers stored in memory may be  
lost when you disconnect from AC power, if  
the 9V battery runs down completely or is not  
installed. Follow the steps under “To Store A

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 arent 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.

means there are no cassette tapes to

allow only 15 minutes per side) and permits

Mailboxes (similar to those found in many

messages that arent for them.

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  
Youre taking a nap, watching your favorite  
TV show or just got the baby to sleep and  
dont want to be disturbed. Temporarily turn

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 dont have to do a thing!  
• E LE C T R O N IC H O LD

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 youve 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).

Theres 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 CalPLUS  
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.

2. Carefully disconnect the battery pack  
and dispose of it properly. See  
BATTERY DISPOSAL below.  
3. To replace, connect the new battery  
and replace the door. Return the  
handset to the base and charge the  
battery overnight (at least 12 hours).  
2. A 2-beep warning sounds while you  
are using the phone. This indicates that  
you have just a few minutes of power  
left to complete your conversation  
before the phone disconnects.

3. The handset beeps at 30 second  
intervals for five minutes when it has  
been away from the base too long.  
After five minutes, it will not flash or  
beep, nor will you be able to get a dial  
tone. Return the handset to the base  
for recharging.

Contains Nickel-Cadmium  
rechargeable batteries. Must be  
recycled or disposed of properly.  
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.
