To troubleshoot issues with the accessories for the Cobra 18WXST II walkie talkie, follow these steps: 1. Check the power connections: Ensure that the red lead of the DC power cord is connected to an accessory 12-volt fuse. Connect the orange lead to a constant 12-volt fuse, such as the cigarette lighter or directly to the battery. Connect the black lead to the negative side of the automobile, usually the chassis, ensuring good electrical contact by removing any paint. 2. Mount the microphone bracket: Attach the microphone bracket on the right side of the transceiver or in a convenient location within reach. When mounting in an automobile, place the bracket under the dash for easy accessibility. 3. Connect the microphone cable: Attach the 4-pin microphone cable to the receptacle on the front of the unit and securely install the unit in the bracket. If you encounter any issues with the accessories, perform the following additional troubleshooting steps: 1. Check the power source: Ensure that the source of power is providing the required 13.8 VDC to operate the radio. 2. Check the fuses: Inspect the fuses in the DC power cord, specifically the main power lead (red and orange wire) fuse holder. Use only the specified 2-amp 3AG type fuse for maximum protection. 3. Verify microphone and antenna connections: Make sure the microphone is properly plugged in and that the antenna is properly assembled and connected. If you are unable to resolve the problem, refer to the service instructions provided at the end of the manual for further assistance with warranty and post-warranty service from Cobra.
