The Family Radio Service Story

Ever wish you could talk to someone who wasn’t

within earshot? Like contacting ski partners back

at the lodge? Or letting a friend know how to find

you in a busy mall? Cobra’s MicroTalk FRS 100 is a

great way for friends or family to increase their

fun–and safe ty – by staying in touch while on the go.

The FCC (Federal Communications Commission)

has created 14 license free frequency bands,

or channels,called Family Radio Service (FRS)

frequencies. Two of these 14 channels (channel

8 and 13) are easily accessed on your Cobra FRS

radio. These channels are in the UHF (Ultra High

Frequency) band which means great penetration

through buildings,thick forests,hills,and other

dense structures.They are also FM (Frequency

Modulation) signals which means crystal clear

reception even in crowded noisy environments.

FCC Warnings

Replacement or substitution of transistors,regular

diodes or other parts of a unique nature,with

parts other than those recommended by Cobra,

may cause a violation of the technical regulations

of part 95 of the FCC Rules,or violation of Type

Acceptance requirements of Part 2 of the Rules.

Included with your MicroTalk

1. Removable Belt Clip

2. Wrist Strap
