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.

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.
