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 2 inches from your face and 
speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away.
