Using Your Radio
O
peration
For charging microTALK radio(s) in desktop charger:
1. Insert radio(s) into desktop charger as shown.
2. Insert round connector of 120-volt adapter
into jack on back of charger.
3. Plug 120-volt adapter into electrical outlet.
If charging light is not on, check position of radio. Radio should be upright. The charge indicator light will stay on as long as the radio is in the charging well, even after the batteries are fully charged.
It normally takes about 15 hours to fully recharge batteries. Batteries will not be damaged if they stay in the charging well longer than that.
Note: To charge a single radio, you can bypass the desktop charger and simply insert the wall adapter’s round connector directly into the speaker/microphone/charge jack located on the top of the radio.
Use only the supplied rechargeable batteries and charger for recharging your Cobra microTALK radio.
Cobra recommends your radio is turned off while being charged. Non-rechargeable alkaline batteries can also be used in your radio.
Insert Radio(s)
Quick Start

4. When finished talking, release the Talk button and listen for a response.

Turning on Your microTALK Radio
•
Rotate the On/Off Volume knob clockwise to turn on your radio and adjust the volume.
A series of tones will indicate the radio is on. Your microTALK radio is now in Standby
mode, ready to receive transmissions. The radio is always in Standby mode, except when the Talk, Call or Mode/Lock buttons are pressed.
Battery Low
•
When battery power is low, the Battery Low icon will blink. Your batteries should be recharged or replaced if using alkaline batteries.

•
Your microTALK radio has a unique circuit designed to extend battery life. If there are no transmissions for 10 seconds, the radio will automatically switch to Battery Save mode and the Power Saver icon will flash in the display. This will not affect the radio’s ability to receive incoming transmissions.
