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

FCC Part 15.21 Warning Statement-
NOTE: THE GRANTEE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT
EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE. SUCH

could void the user’s ability to operate the equipment.

SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC/ISEDC with
the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value.

This device has been tested and certified to not exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC/ISEDC. Tests for each device are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC/ISEDC.

For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC/ISEDC RF exposure
guidelines when used with an accessory designated for this product or when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1 Omm from the body. Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in a violation of RF exposure guidelines.
