replacement warranty. If any manufacturing defect becomes apparent in 

this product within one year from the original date of purchase, it will be 

replaced. Please return the GMRS radio or charger to your dealer with 

original or copy of dated proof of purchase. This warranty does not cover 

damages due to careless handling, negligence, accident, abuse or failure to 

follow operating instructions. Alteration of this product or defacing of the 

serial number cancels all obligations of this warranty. This warranty gives 

you specified legal rights. Additional warranty rights may be provided by 

law in some areas.

For Products Purchased in the U.S.A.

Cobra Electronics Corporation warrants that its Cobra GMRS 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 GMRS 

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.

For Products Purchased Outside Canada or the U.S.A.

Please contact your local dealer for warranty information.
