Introduction

Limited One-Year Warranty on Radio(s) & Charger 

For Products Purchased in the U.S.A.

Cobra Electronics Corporation warrants that its Cobra microTALK  
radios and charger, and the component parts thereof, will be free of defects in 
workmanship and materials for a period of one year from the date of first consumer 
purchase. This warranty may be enforced by the first consumer purchaser, provided 
that the product is utilized within the U.S.A. 
Cobra will, without charge, repair or replace, at its option, defective microTALK radios, 
chargers, products or component parts upon delivery to the Cobra Factory Service 
department, accompanied by proof of the date of first consumer purchase, such as a 
duplicated copy of a sales receipt. 
You must pay any initial shipping charges required to ship the product for warranty 
service, but the return charges will be at Cobra’s expense,  
if the product is repaired or replaced under warranty. This warranty gives you specific 
legal rights, and you may also have other rights which may vary from state to state.

Exclusions: This limited warranty does not apply:

 1) To any product damaged 

by accident; 2) In the event of misuse or abuse of the product or as a result of 
unauthorized alterations or repairs; 3) If the serial number has been altered, defaced, or 
removed; 4) If the owner of the product resides outside the U.S.A.
All implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability and  
fitness for a particular purpose are limited in duration to the length of this warranty. Cobra 
shall not be liable for any incidental, consequential or other damages; including, without 
limitation, damages resulting from loss of use or cost of installation. 
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and/or do not 
allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above 
limitations may not apply to you.
