Using Your Radio
Speaker/Microphone Jack •
Your microTALK®radio can be fitted with an
external Speaker/Microphone, freeing your
hands for other tasks. See page 20 for optional
accessories ordering information. Only Cobra®
authorized accessories are recommended.
To attach your Speaker/Microphone:
1. Open the Speaker/Microphone tab on
top of your microTALK®radio.
2. Insert the plug into the Speaker/
Microphone jack.
Signal Strength Meter •
Your microTALK®radio has a signal strength
meter that shows the strength of your incoming
and outgoing transmissions. The ascending bars
next to the signal strength indicate the strength
of the signal. The greater the number of bars
visible, the stronger the signal. The fewer
number of bars visible, the weaker the signal.
microTALK®Range •
Your microTALK®radio has a range of
up to six (6) miles (10 km). Your range will
vary depending on terrain and conditions.
In flat, open country your radio will
operate at maximum range.
Buildings and foliage in the path of the
signal can reduce the range of the radio.
Dense foliage and hilly terrain will
further reduce the range of the radio.
On FRS channels 8 through 14, your radio
automatically switches to low power, which
will limit the range the radio can communicate.
Remember, you can achieve maximum
range by using Maximum Range
Extender. See page 15 for details.

Licensing,Assistance &Warranty
IMPORTANT NOTICE: FCC LICENSE REQUIRED
This two-way radio operates on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies which
require an FCC (Federal Communications Commission) license. A user must be licensed prior
to operating on channels 1 through 7 or 15 through 22, which comprise the GMRS channels
of this radio. Serious penalties could result for unlicensed use of GMRS channels, in violation
of FCC rules, as stipulated in the Communications Act’s Sections 501 and 502 (amended).
Licensed users will be issued a call sign by the FCC, which should be used for station
identification when operating this radio. GMRS users should also cooperate by engaging
in permissible transmissions only, avoiding channel interference with other GMRS users,
and being prudent with the length of their transmission time.
For licensing information and application forms, please call the FCC Hotline at
800-418-FORM. Request form #159 and form #605. Questions regarding the license
application should be directed to the FCC at 888-CALL-FCC. Additional information
is available on the FCC’s website at www.fcc.gov.
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 Commissions
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless devices.
Important:
To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF guidelines, hold the transmitter at least 2 inches
(5 centimeters) from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up
and away. If you wear the handset on your body while using the headset accessory, use only
the Cobra®supplied belt clip for this product and ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch
(2.5 centimeters) from your body while transmitting. If the distance between the antenna
and the body is LESS THAN 1.0 inch (2.5 cm), DO NOT USE THIS DEVICE IN THE BODY
WORN CONFIGURATION. 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.

Product Service Questions
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 First Class Mail to avoid loss in transit
to Cobra®Factory Service, Cobra®Electronics Corporation, 6500 West Cortland Street, Chicago,
Illinois 60707 USA; 6) If the radio is in warranty, upon receipt of your radio it will either be
repaired or exchanged depending on the model. Please allow approximately 3 – 4 weeks before
contacting Cobra®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 questions, please call
773-889-3087 for assistance.
Limited 1-Year Warranty For Products Purchased in the U.S.A.
Cobra®Electronics Corporation warrants that its Cobra®GMRS Radios, and the component parts
thereof, will be free of defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one (1) year from the
date of first consumer purchase. This warranty may be enforced by the first consumer purchaser,
provided that the product is utilized within the U.S.A. Cobra®will, without charge, repair or replace,
at its option, defective GMRS radios, products or component parts upon delivery to the Cobra®
Factory Service department, accompanied by proof of the date of first consumer purchase, such
as a duplicated copy of a sales receipt. You must pay any initial shipping charges required to ship
the product for warranty service, but the return charges will be at Cobra®’s expense, if the product
is repaired or replaced under warranty. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may
also have other rights which may vary from state to state.
Exclusions: This limited warranty does not apply: 1) To any product damaged by accident;
2) In the event of misuse or abuse of the product or as a result of unauthorized alterations or
repairs; 3) If the serial number has been altered, defaced, or removed; 4) If the owner of the
product resides outside the U.S.A.
All implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose
are limited in duration to the length of this warranty. Cobra®shall not be liable for any incidental,
consequential or other damages; including, without limitation, damages resulting from loss of
use or cost of installation. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts and/or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages,
so the above limitations may not apply to you.
For products purchased outside the U.S.A., please contact your local dealer for
warranty information.
