When the PTT 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" (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" from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away.©2002 Cobra®Electronics Corporation6500 West Cortland StreetChicago, Illinois 60707 USAwww.cobra.comOn/Off Power ButtonBacklit LCD DisplayChannel Up/Down ButtonsSpeaker/MicrophoneCall ButtonLight/Max RangeButtonAntennaVolume Up/Down Button(s)LockButtonFeatures• Two-Way Radio With a range up to two (2) miles (3 km).• 22 Channels Seven shared with FRS/GMRS, seven FRS only,and eight GMRS only.• UHF FM Frequencies• Backlit LCD Display• Call Alert• Key Lock Button• “Roger Beep”Selectable On/Offconfirmation tone.• Battery/Power Saver• Auto Squelch• Maximum Range Extender• Belt Clip• Wrist StrapTalkButtonChannels 1 through 7 are shared with FRS/GMRS.

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" (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.
