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 two inches from your face and 

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