Your microTALK radio has a Signal Strength Meter that shows the strength of your incoming and outgoing transmissions. The ascending bars next to the signal strength indicate the strength of the signal. The greater the number of bars visible, the stronger the signal. The fewer number of bars visible, the weaker the signal.

Your microTALK radio has a unique circuit designed to extend battery life. If there are
no transmissions for 10 seconds, the radio will automatically switch to Battery Save mode and the Power Saver icon will flash in the display.
This will not affect the radio’s ability to receive incoming transmissions.

On/Off Power

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.

 

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.

Quick Start

1.Rotate the On/Off Volume knob to turn on your radio.

2.Press the Channel Up or Channel Down button to select a channel.

Both radios must be tuned to the same channel/privacy code to communicate.

3.Press and hold the Talk button while speaking into the microphone.

4.When finished talking, release the Talk button and listen for a response.
