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 five cm (two inches) from your face 
and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away.
