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.
