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, modications or
attachments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
Normal Position:
Battery Low Icon
Icon blinks and an audible tone will be
heard when battery power level is low.
Your microTALK
®
radio has a unique
circuit designed to extend battery life. If
there are no transmissions within ten
(10) seconds, the radio will automatically
switch to Battery Save mode. This will
not affect the radio’s ability to receive
incoming transmissions.
Hold the transmitter approximately 25 mm from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the
ISEDC WARNING
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.
