Federal Law Governing Use of 
Radar Detectors

It is not against Federal Law to receive radar 
transmissions on your COBRA Radar Detector.
The Communications Act of 1934 guarantees 
your right to receive radio transmissions on 
any frequency. Local laws that contravene the
Communications Act of 1934,while illegal,may
be enforced by your local law enforcement offi-
cials until and unless they are prohibited from
doing so by Federal Court action.

WARNING:

Before leaving your car, make sure

that you conceal your radar detector. This will
reduce the possibility of break-in and theft of
your unit.
