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 Commissions
(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 2 inches from your face and speak in a normal voice,
with the antenna pointed up and away.
