Product Information

This Cobra®microTALK®radio has been manufactured to meet all required standards for radio equipment using PMR 446 frequencies as authorized. The use of this 2-way radio product involves the public airways and its use may be subject to local laws or regulations. Contact your radio licensing authority for more information.

Caring for Your microTALK®Radio

Your microTALK®radio will give you years of trouble-free service if cared for properly. Here are a few suggestions:

• Handle the radio gently.

• Keep it away from dust.

• Never put the radio in water or in a damp place.

• Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures.

Recharging Batteries

You should fully recharge the battery pack before using your microTALK

for the first time.

1. Attach the power supply to the charger base and plug it in to an electrical outlet. (A UK-compatible connector is included, if required.) Place the radio in the charger base to begin charging.

2. With the optional adapter, you can place the battery pack alone in the charger base. Pull down the LOCK TAB and remove the battery compartment cover. Remove the battery pack and place the battery pack in the charging well.

3. The CHARGE light on the charger base will indicate when the battery is fully charged. The light will remain lit until the battery pack is approximately 90% charged, then blink rapidly until the battery is fully charged, then blink slowly indicating trickle charge. A full charge will take approximately 2 hours. You can leave the unit in trickle charge indefinitely.

4. Your microTALK

can also be operated with four

standard AAA alkaline batteries.

FEATURES

* You are not allowed to use channels 1 and 2 in France. This situation can

change; please contact the French radio licensing authority for more information.

Battery Low

Battery power is indicated by the segments appearing at the bottom of the LCD. As battery power decreases, fewer segments will be visible. When the last segment begins to flash, the batteries should be recharged or replaced.

Auto Battery Save

If there are no transmissions within 10 seconds, the unit will automatically switch to Battery Save mode and POWER SAVER will appear in the display. This will not affect the unit’s ability to receive incoming transmissions.

Turning On Your microTALK®Radio

1. Rotate the ON-OFF/VOLUME switch clockwise to turn

on the unit (and to adjust the volume). An audible tone will indicate that the radio is on.

2. Your microTALK

is now in Standby mode, ready to receive transmissions. The radio is always in Standby mode except when the TALK, CALL, or MODE buttons are pressed.

Illuminating the Display

1. Press and release the

LIGHT/MAX RANGE button to illuminate the display for 10 seconds.

Selecting a Channel

1. With the radio on, select any of the 8 channels by

pushing the CHANNEL UP or CHANNEL DOWN button. (NOTE: Both radios must be tuned to the same channel to communicate.)

Selecting a CTCSS Privacy Code

CTCSS (Continous Tone Coded Squelch System) is an advanced tone coding system allowing you to select one of 38 privacy codes to reduce interference from other users on the channel. (NOTE: If you are using a privacy code, both radios must be tuned to the same channel and privacy code to communicate. Each channel will remember the last privacy code you selected.) To select a privacy code:

1. After selecting a main channel, press and release the MODE button. A small number will flash next to the channel in the LCD.

2. Push the CHANNEL SELECT button up or down to select a privacy code. You can hold the button up or down for fast advance.

3. When your desired privacy code is displayed, press and release the ENTER button.
