Using Your Radio

For charging Cobra’s microTALK

®

radio(s):

1. Insert radio(s) as shown. 

2. Insert round connector of 120 volt adapter

into jack on back of charger.

3. Plug 120 volt adapter into electrical outlet.

If charging light is not on, check position of radio. Radio should be
upright. The charge indicator light will stay on as long as the radio
is in the charging well, even after the batteries are fully charged.

It normally takes about 15 hours to fully recharge batteries. Batteries
will not be damaged if they stay in the charging well longer than
that. Not all radio models include charge contacts. 

Each port can charge one radio. Uses 120 Volt adapter. Use only
Cobra NiMH batteries, model GA-BN with charger model GA-CD. 

Cobra recommends your radio is turned off while being charged.

Battery Low

Your microTALK

®

radio has a battery level meter

that shows when battery power is decreasing.
The greater the number of bars visible, the
stronger the battery level. When the battery 
level is low, the last bar and “bALo” will flash
indicating your batteries should be replaced or, 
if using rechargeable batteries, recharged. 

Auto Battery Save

Your microTALK

®

radio has a unique circuit

designed to extend battery life. If there are 
no transmissions for 10 seconds, the radio will
automatically switch to 

Battery Save 

mode and

the

icon will flash in the display.

This will not affect the radio’s ability to receive
