Limited One-Year Warranty on Radio(s)
For Products Purchased in Canada
Your new Cobra GMRS radios are covered by a one-year replacement warranty. 
If any manufacturing defect becomes apparent in this product within one year 
from the original date of purchase, it will be replaced. Please return the GMRS 
radio to your dealer with original or copy of dated proof of purchase. This 
warranty does not cover damages due to careless handling, negligence, accident, 
abuse or failure to follow operating instructions. Alteration of this product or 
defacing of the serial number cancels all obligations of this warranty. This 
warranty gives you specified legal rights. Additional warranty rights may be 
provided by law in some areas.
For Products Purchased in the U.S.A.
Cobra Electronics Corporation warrants that its Cobra GMRS radios and the 
component parts thereof, will be free of defects in workmanship and materials 
for a period of one year from the date of first consumer purchase. This warranty 
may be enforced by the first consumer purchaser, provided that the product is 
utilized within the U.S.A. 
Cobra will, without charge, repair or replace, at its option, defective GMRS 
radios, products or component parts upon delivery to the Cobra Factory Service 
department, accompanied by proof of the date of first consumer purchase, such 
as a duplicated copy of a sales receipt. 
You must pay any initial shipping charges required to ship the product for 
warranty service, but the return charges will be at Cobra’s expense, if the 
product is repaired or replaced under warranty. This warranty gives you specific 
legal rights, and you may also have other rights which may vary from state to 
state.
Exclusions: This limited warranty does not apply: 1) To any product damaged 
by accident; 2) In the event of misuse or abuse of the product or as a result 
of unauthorized alterations or repairs; 3) If the serial number has been altered, 
defaced, or removed; 4) If the owner of the product resides outside the U.S.A.
All implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a 
particular purpose are limited in duration to the length of this warranty. Cobra 
shall not be liable for any incidental, consequential or 
other damages; including, without limitation, damages resulting from 
loss of use or cost of installation. 
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty 
lasts and/or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or 
consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
For Products Purchased Outside Canada or the U.S.A.
Please contact your local dealer for warranty information.
90-Day Warranty on Rechargeable Batteries
