This two-way radio operates on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies which require an FCC
(Federal Communications Commission) license. A user must be licensed prior to operating on Channels
1 through 7 on high power or 15 through 22, which comprise the GMRS channels of this radio. Serious
penalties could result for unlicensed use of GMRS channels, in violation of FCC rules. Operation of this radio
is subject to additional rules specified in 47 C.F.R. Part 95.
Licensed users will be issued a call sign by the FCC, which should be used for station identification when
operating this radio. GMRS users should also cooperate by engaging in permissible transmissions only, avoiding
channel interference with other GMRS users, and being prudent with the length of their transmission time.
For licensing information and application forms, please call the FCC Hotline at 800-418-FORM. Request form
#159 and form #605. Questions regarding the license application should be directed to the FCC at 888-CALL-

Channel 1 through 7 on low power and channels 8 through 14 comprise the FRS (Family Radio Service).
No license is required to operate on the FRS.
WARNING
: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.”
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.

cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Safety Information for microTALK Radios
Your wireless handheld portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the talk button is
pushed, it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. The device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not
to exceed 50%. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless devices.
Important
FCC RF Exposure Requirements: For body-worn operation, this radio has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines when used with Cobra accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. Use only the supplied antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
Normal Position
Hold the transmitter approximately 2 inches from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the
antenna pointed up and away.

Allocation and Compatibility
Important:
Please note that Cobra GMRS models with 15 Channels
may designate different channel numbers for the same frequency.
For example, a Cobra 15 Channel GMRS model would need to be
tuned to Channel 11 in order to communicate with a 22 Channel
GMRS tuned to Channel 15. Please refer to the chart below for
channel/ frequency number compatibility.
A = Channel No. for 22 Channel FRS/GMRS Models
