Operation General Specifications and Licensing General Specifications • FRS/GMRS Frequency Allocation and Compatibility Important: Please note that Cobra GMRS models with 15 Channels may designate different channel numbers for the same frequency. For example, a Cobra 15 Channel GMRS model would need to be tuned to Channel 11 in order to communicate with a 22 Channel GMRS tuned to Channel 15. Please refer to the chart below for channel/ frequency number compatibility. A = Channel No. for 22 Channel FRS/GMRS Models B = Channel No. for 15 Channel GMRS Models C = Type of Radio Service D = Frequency in MHz E = Power Output A B C D E 1 1 FRS/GMRS 462.5625 High 2 2 FRS/GMRS 462.5875 High 3 3 FRS/GMRS 462.6125 High 4 4 FRS/GMRS 462.6375 High 5 5 FRS/GMRS 462.6625 High 6 6 FRS/GMRS 462.6875 High 7 7 FRS/GMRS 462.7125 High 8 FRS 467.5625 Low 9 FRS 467.5875 Low 10 FRS 467.6125 Low 11 FRS 467.6375 Low 12 FRS 467.6625 Low 13 FRS 467.6875 Low 14 FRS 467.7125 Low 15 11 GMRS 462.5500 High 16 8 GMRS 462.5750 High 17 12 GMRS 462.6000 High 18 9 GMRS 462.6250 High 19 13 GMRS 462.6500 High 20 10 GMRS 462.6750 High 21 14 GMRS 462.7000 High 22 15 GMRS 462.7250 High 16 Introduction Operation Customer 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 on high power 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. Operation of this radio is subject to additional rules specified in 47 C.F.R. Part 95. 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 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 2 inches from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. FCC Warnings: Replacement or substitution of transistors, regular diodes or other parts of a unique nature, with parts other than those recommended by Cobra may cause a violation of the technical regulations of part 95 of the FCC rules, or violation of type acceptance requirements of part 2 of the rules.
