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, modications 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.

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 MODIFICATIONS

COULD VOID THE USER’S AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.

IC RSS-GEN

This device complies with ISEDC license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the

following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept

any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Under ISEDC regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and

maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by ISEDC. To reduce potential radio

interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent

isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

The applicant is responsible for providing proper instructions to the user of the radio device, and any

usage restrictions, including limits of exposure durations. The user manual shall provide installation

and operation instructions, as well as any special usage conditions, to ensure compliance with SAR

and/or RF eld strength limits. For instance, compliance distance shall be clearly stated in the user

manual.

Radiation Exposure Statement:

Any Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could

void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

For Remote controller, SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the

FCC/ISEDC with the device transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency

bands, although the SAR is determined at the highest certied power level, the actual SAR level of

the device while operating can be well below the maximum value.

Before a new model device is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certied to the

FCC that it does 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 model 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 10 mm from the body.

Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of RF exposure guidelines.
