Frequently Asked Questions - BT 200 COBRA

How do I pair the BT 200 with my cell phone?

Turn on the handset. The display will show a pairing message and password. On your cell phone, search for Bluetooth devices and select 'Cobra BT 200'. Enter the password shown on the handset. Once paired, the handset will go to standby mode.

What should I do if the handset does not charge or turn on?

Ensure the DC adapter is securely connected and the power source is working. If the battery is depleted, charge for at least 2 hours. If still unresponsive, try resetting: press and hold the Green Phone and Home buttons, then press Power until the unit turns on.

Is the BT 200 waterproof?

It is submersible and dust resistant to JIS7 standards, meaning it can be immersed in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. However, avoid intentional prolonged submersion and rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure.

Can I use the handset without pressing the PTT button?

Yes, enable the VOX function. Press and hold the Mode button for 2 seconds during a call to toggle VOX on. When VOX is on, the microphone activates automatically when you speak.

How do I adjust the volume and display?

In standby or during a call, use the Up/Down Arrow buttons to adjust speaker volume. For display settings, go to Menu > Settings > Display to adjust brightness (High/Medium/Low/Off), contrast (0-16), and Auto Dim (on/off).

Why is my call quality poor or noisy?

Ensure the microphone is not obstructed. The handset uses a noise cancelling microphone, but in very noisy environments, background noise may be heard. Try moving to a quieter area or reduce the handset volume.

How do I store contacts in the phonebook?

From standby, press Menu, select Phonebook, then Add New. Enter the name using the Up/Down arrows to scroll characters, press Enter to confirm each character, then move to the number field and enter the phone number. Press Save to store.

Can I use the handset as a PA system?

Yes, if the handset is connected to a stereo AUX input via an optional cable. Go to Menu > PA Output and set it to On. Then in standby, press and hold the PTT button to make announcements through external speakers.

How do I reset the handset to factory defaults?

Press and hold the Green Phone and Home buttons, then press the Power button until the unit turns on. This clears all pairings, call logs, phonebook entries, and device list. Use only if necessary.

What are the Bluetooth region settings for?

Different regions use different Bluetooth frequency bands. By default, the handset is set to USA-Europe. If you experience connection issues in France, Spain, or Japan, change the region via Menu > Settings > BT Region to match your location.

Common BT 200 Functions

The following procedures define common operating functions of the handset.

Power On/Off

Press the Power button at the top of the handset for two seconds to turn it On or Off.

The first time you turn On the Cobra Bluetoothhandset you will see a message that the unit is ready for pairing with a cell phone. The message also provides a password. If you do not want to pair a device right away, press the Escape button to go to Standby mode.

When the unit is subsequently turned On, it will search for the currently selected Bluetooth device and go to Standby mode.

Mode

This button serves two functions:

■ To change the mode of operation between the Bluetoothhandset and your cell phone itself.
■ To switch voice activation of the microphone between On and Off. Turn VOX On if you want to operate in a hands-free mode similar to a Bluetooth speakerphone.

Mode

Normal operation of the Cobra Bluetoothhandset uses its internal microphone and speaker to conduct conversations during a call. However, there may be times you want to suspend the Bluetoothpairing and continue part or all of the call on your cell phone itself.

To Change Between Handset and Cell Phone Modes:

1. Press the Mode button to switch the call to your cell phone.
2. Talk and listen to your cell phone in the usual way. The handset will be inactive.

VOX

The VOX function converts the handset microphone's pickup of your voice from being controlled by the PTT button to being activated by your voice. When VOX

is On, the PTT button does not need to be pushed to transmit your voice and you can just speak into the microphone.

When VOX is Off, you need to push the PTT button while speaking.

To Change Between VOX On and Off:

1. Press and hold the Mode button for two seconds while a call is in progress.

NOTE

When the VOX function is On in noisy environments, the caller connected to the BT 200 might hear some of your background noise.

Back Light/Lock

To Turn the Back Light On or Off:

1. Press the Back Light/Lock button.

Lock

The Lock function disables the operation of all buttons except PTT, Back Light/Lock and Power buttons. When Lock is On, accidental presses of any of the other buttons are ignored by the unit. A call can be continued if it was started before Lock was turned On, but new calls cannot be made or answered when Lock is On.

To Turn Lock On or Off:

1. Press and hold the Back Light/Lock button for two seconds.
