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

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.
Hold the transmitter approximately two (2) inches from your face and speak in a normal
voice, with the antenna pointed up and away.
