Using Your Radio
For charging microTALK ® radio(s) in desktop
charger:
1. Insert radio(s) into desktop charger as shown.
2. Insert round connector of 120 volt adapter
into jack on back of charger.
3. Plug 120 volt adapter into electrical outlet.
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.
Each port can charge one radio. Uses 120 Volt adapter. Use only
Cobra NiMH batteries, model GA-BN with charger model GA-CD.
Cobra recommends your radio is turned off while being charged.

Battery Low

Your microTALK ® radio has a battery level meter
that shows when battery power is decreasing.
The greater the number of bars visible, the

level is low, the last bar and “bALo” will flash
indicating your batteries should be replaced or,
if using rechargeable batteries, recharged.
