Operation

IMPORTANT NOTICE: FCC LICENSE REQUIRED

This two-way radio operates on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies

which require an FCC (Federal Communications Commission) license. A user must

be licensed prior to operating on Channels 1 through 7 on high power or 15

through 22, which comprise the GMRS channels of this radio. Serious penalties

could result for unlicensed use of GMRS channels, in violation of FCC rules.

Operation of this radio is subject to additional rules specified in 47 C.F.R. Part 95. 

Licensed users will be issued a call sign by the FCC, which should be used for

station identification when operating this radio. GMRS users should also cooperate

by engaging in permissible transmissions only, avoiding channel interference with

other GMRS users, and being prudent with the length of their transmission time. 

For licensing information and application forms, please call the FCC Hotline 

at 800-418-FORM. Request form #159 and form #605. Questions regarding 

the license application should be directed to the FCC at 888-CALL-FCC. 

Additional information is available on the FCC’s website at www.fcc.gov.

Channel 1 through 7 on low power and channels 8 through 14 comprise the 

FRS (Family Radio Service). No license is required to operate on the FRS.

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 Commissions (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 two inches from your face and 

speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject 
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC Warnings: Replacement or substitution of transistors, regular diodes or
other parts of a unique nature, with parts other than those recommended by
Cobra may cause a violation of the technical regulations of part 95 of the FCC
rules, or violation of type acceptance requirements of part 2 of the rules.
