Federal Laws Governing the Use of Radar Detectors 

It is not against federal law to receive radar transmissions with your Cobra radar/ 

laser detector. The Communications Act of 1924 guarantees your right to receive  

radio transmissions on any frequency. Local laws that contravene this Act, while illegal, 

may be enforced by your local law enforcement officials until and unless  

they are prohibited from doing so by federal court action.

Safety/Strobe Alert

Use of this product is not intended to, and does not, ensure that motorists or passengers 

will not be involved in traffic accidents. It is only intended to alert  

the motorist that an emergency vehicle equipped with a Cobra Safety Alert,  

3M or strobe transmitter is within range as defined by that product. Please call  

local fire and police departments to learn if coverage exists in your area.

Safe Driving 

Motorists, as well as operators of emergency or service vehicles, are expected to 

exercise all due caution while using this product, and to obey all applicable traffic  

laws. Do not attempt to change settings of the unit while in motion.

Security of Your Vehicle 

Before leaving your vehicle, always remember to conceal your radar detector  

in order to reduce the possibility of break-in and theft.
