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

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these appropriate for children?

Yes, these are in fact much better than the ones people buy for children. This will last much longer than the toy ones and is much clearer quality than the ones sold for cheaper. You usually get what you pay for.

How can I tell when the battery in my Cobra walkie-talkie is full?

When completely charged, the battery level indicator on the radio will display all bars. The battery status indicator will keep flashing while attached to the charger.

Can multiple walkie talkes of the same kind be “linked together” so that 6 of my neighborhood kids can all use them at the same time?

Easy access to all 22 channels and works with other GMRS/FRS walkie talkie two-way radios
ULTRA-CLEAR long distance reception Extended range capability provides up to 16 mile range Front panel push buttons provide easy access to all 22 channels (7 mgrs./furs, 7Frs, 8 mgrs.) with other gimp/furs walkie-talkie 2-way radios.

Are these compatible with handheld speaker microphone with 2 prong plug in?

I don’t think so.

Is it waterproof?

Not really, but ours were left out in a big rainstorm once though and we had to change the batteries and let them dry out and they eventually started working again

Are all the radios on the same frequency within the same model?

Each radio supports two channels (not 22), which are color coded by LED as either green or red, to make it easier for kids or other users. Just decide what color channel you want to be on and a single button push gets you there if you aren’t already on it. For the techies green is FRS 01 (462.56250 MHz) and red is FRS 02 (462.58750 MHz).
