DO NOT transmit more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty
cycle). Transmitting for more than 50% of the time can cause FCC
RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. This radio is
transmitting whenever the TX icon is displayed on the LCD. Pressing
the PTT switch on the side of the microphone normally causes the
radio to transmit.
Note: The preceding information is provided to make you
aware of RF exposure and how to ensure that this radio is
operated within FCC RF exposure limits.
You, as the qualified end-user of this radio device must control the
exposure conditions of bystanders to ensure the minimum separation
distance, stated above for satisfying FCC RF exposure compliance, is
maintained between the antenna and nearby persons. Transmit only
when all person(s) are at least the minimum distance from the
properly installed, externally mounted antenna.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTIONS
a The antenna connector must be snugly tightened to maintain
proper electrical connection and moisture resistance.
a Equipment must be grounded according to Midland Radio
Corporation installation instructions for safe operation.
a Equipment should be serviced only by a qualified technician.
a Refer to radio service manual for additional information on
installation and safety precautions.
WARNING!
! DO NOT allow the antenna to touch or come in very close
proximity with the eyes, face, or any exposed body parts while the
radio is transmitting
! DO NOT operate the radio in explosive or flammable
atmospheres. The transmitted radio energy could trigger blasting
caps or cause an explosion.
! DO NOT allow children to operate or play with this radio.
Note: The above warning list is not intended to include all
hazards that may be encountered when using this radio.

FCC RF EXPOSURE REQUIREMENTS
The FCC has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF
energy. Proper operation of this radio under normal conditions results
in user exposure to RF energy below the Occupational Safety and
Health Act and Federal Communication Commission limits.
Mandatory Safety Instructions to Installers and Users:
This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an
uncontrolled environment. This radio is restricted to occupational use
and work related operations only. Radio operators must have the
knowledge to control their exposure conditions and the exposure
conditions of bystanders and/or passengers to satisfy the lower
exposure limit allowed for General Population.
To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, DO NOT operate the
transmitter of this mobile radio when a person outside the vehicle is
within 94 centimeters (38 inches) of the antenna.
The antenna supplied by the manufacturer or radio dealer must be
mounted at a location such that during radio transmission, no person
or persons can come closer than the above indicated minimum safe
distance to the antenna, i.e. 94cm. To comply with current FCC RF
exposure limits, the antenna must be installed at or exceeding the
minimum safe distance stated above, and in accordance with the
requirements of the antenna manufacturer or supplier.
Vehicle Installation Instructions:
The antenna used for this transmitter must be mounted on the center
of the roof ONLY and must be installed in vehicle having the following
characteristics in order to prevent bystanders and passengers from
being exposed to levels exceeding the limits for General
Population/Uncontrolled Exposure environment:
y All passengers must be sitting under a solid metal roof.
y Rooftop width must be at least 76 inches OR the edges of the
physical boundary of the vehicle must be at least 76 inches apart.
DO NOT operate the radio without the proper antenna installed. Do
not substitute any antenna for the one supplied or recommended by
the manufacturer or radio dealer. The antenna gain must not exceed
0 dBd. By not following the antenna recommendations you may be
exposing person(s) to excess radio frequency radiation. You may
contact your radio dealer or the manufacturer for further instructions.
