OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION THAT THIS DEVICE DOES NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE. Your Midland model 75-507 brings the new FRS (Family Radio Service) to your fingertips. The Family Radio Service is provided for by the FCC and is totally license flee.

The 75-507 uses maximum allowable puwu' for range up to 2 miles Use for fishing, hunting, pimies, biking, business, or any other activity where communications are needed for mnvenimee or safety. The model 75-507 operates on 14 channels to provide the best in quiet and private communication, Also this radio olfers power save, and auto-squelch. TH’S FOR GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR 75-507 Due to the band of operation (462/467 MHz) the 75-507 provides communications that are virtually free of atmospheric interfwenee (skip) that is common on lower fi'equmcy bands. Along with this and an antenna system that is very elficia'lt as compared to other unlicensed radio bands, oommmiications range is surprisingly good Many times the limits to maximum possible range are environmental firetors such as blockage caused by trees, buildings, hills, of other obstructions If you find communication is not possible, many times this can be overcome by moving only a few feet to a new location. Range may be reduced while operating in a vehicle or from inside to outside a metal building. Battery condition also afiects range. The 75-507 operates best on alkaline battaiesl While this unit has been dsiyled with gaskets for water resistance and ruggedness it is a precision piwe of electronic equipment that should not be exposed to water or handled carelessly. Normal care should result in years of trouble free upwation.
