Turning on Your microTALK Radio

•

 

 

 

Rotate the On/Off Volume knob clockwise to turn on your radio and adjust the volume. A series of tones will indicate the radio is on.

Your microTALK radio is now in Standby mode, ready to receive transmissions. The radio is always in Standby mode, except when the Talk, Call or Mode/Lock buttons are pressed.

If charging light is not on, check position of radio. Radio should be upright. The charge indicator light will stay on as long as the radio is in the charging well, even after the batteries are fully charged.

It normally takes about 15 hours to fully recharge batteries. Batteries will not be damaged if they stay in the charging well longer than that.

Note: To charge a single radio, you can bypass the desktop charger and simply insert the wall adapter’s round connector directly into the speaker/microphone/charge jack located on the top of the radio.

Use only the supplied rechargeable batteries and charger for recharging your Cobra microTALK radio.

Cobra recommends your radio is turned off while being charged. Non-rechargeable alkaline batteries can also be used in your radio.
