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.

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 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 two inches from your face and
speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and 2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Warnings: Replacement or substitution of transistors, regular diodes or
other parts of a unique nature, with parts other than those recommended by
Cobra may cause a violation of the technical regulations of part 95 of the FCC
rules, or violation of type acceptance requirements of part 2 of the rules.

Limited One-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 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.
