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 Commission (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 five cm (two inches) from your face
and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away.

law in some areas.

For Products Purchased in the U.S.A.

Cobra Electronics Corporation warrants that its Cobra GMRS radios and

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

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.
