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.
