Cobra MicroTalk Operating Instructions

High/Low Power
When in close proximity to another party,
or during favorable conditions, you can switch
from High to Low Power to extend battery life.
(NOTE: This feature applies to GMRS channels
1 through 7 and 15 through 22 only. Channels
8 through 14 operate exclusively on low power.)
To switch from high to low power:
1. Press and release the HI/LOW button.
When in low power, and when using
channels 8 through 14, the LOW icon
will be visible in the LCD display.
Signal Strength Meter
Your microTALK
®
radio is equipped with a signal
strength meter that shows the strength of your
incoming or 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.

Range
Your microTALK
®
radio has a range of up to
six (6) miles (10 km) when using GMRS
channels on HI power. In LOW power and on
channels 8 through 14, your radio’s range is up
to two (2) miles (3 km). Your range will vary
depending on terrain and conditions. In flat,
open country your radio will operate at
maximum range.
Buildings and foliage in the path of the signal
can reduce the range.
Dense foliage and hilly terrain will further
reduce the signal.
Remember, you can achieve maximum
range by using Maximum Range Extender.
