If your product should require factory service, please call Cobra first before
sending your radio. This will ensure the fastest turn-around time on your repair.
You may be asked to send your radio to the Cobra factory. It will be necessary 
to furnish the following to have the product serviced and returned.

1) For warranty repair include some form of proof-of-purchase, 

such as a mechanical reproduction or carbon of a sales receipt. 
If you send the original receipt, it cannot be returned. 

2) Send the entire product. 

3) Enclose a description of what is happening with the radio. Include a typed 

or clearly printed name and address of where the radio is to be returned. 

4) Pack radio securely to prevent damage in transit. If possible, use the 

original packing material. 

5) Ship prepaid and insured by way of a traceable carrier such as 

United Parcel Service (UPS) or Priority Mail to avoid loss in 
transit to Cobra Factory Service, Cobra Electronics Corporation, 
6500 West Cortland Street, Chicago, Illinois 60707 U.S.A. 

6) If the radio is in warranty, upon receipt of your radio, it will either be 

repaired or exchanged depending on the model.

for status. If the radio is out of warranty, a letter will automatically be sent
informing you of the repair charge or replacement charge. If you have any
