IMPORTANT NOTICE, FCC LICENSE REQUIRED FOR GMRS OPERATION
(Only Applicable for GMRS Radio Use in the United States)
The radios operate on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies which require
an FCC (Federal Communications Commission) license. You must be licensed prior to
operating on channels 1 - 7 or 15 - 22, which comprise the GMRS channels of the
radios. Serious penalties could result from unlicensed use of GMRS channels, in violation of FCC rules, as stipulated in the Communications Acts Sections 501 and 502
(amended).
You will be issued a call sign by the FCC which should be used for station identification
when operating the radio on GMRS channels. You should also cooperate by engaging
in permissible transmissions only, avoiding channel interference with other GMRS
users, and being prudent with the length of your transmission time.
To obtain a license or ask questions about the license application, contact the FCC at
1-888-CALL FCC or go to the FCC's website:
http://www.fcc.gov and request form 605.
FCC Warning

1) This device may not cause interference.
2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy
Your Midland radio is designed to comply with the following national and international
standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy:
- United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal
Regulations: 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J
- American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical &
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
- Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1999 Edition
- National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) of the
United States, Report 86, 1986
- International Commission on Non-lonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)

RF Exposure Compliance Statement and Operating Instruction
The device has been tested against the SAR limit (1.6W/kg). The highest SAR value
reported under this standard during product certification for use at the Face up is
1.237W/kg and when properly worn on the body is 1.410W/kg. This device was tested
for typical operations. The device only supports simplex-mode and transmitting is no
more than the rated duty cycle factory of 50% of the time. For hand-held operation, the
radio should be held at least 25mm from the user’s face. The use of belt clips, holsters
and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use
of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with the RF

BATTERY INSTALLATION
Your radio operates with either a NiMH battery pack or optional 4 AA
alkaline batteries. The belt clip should be removed (see below) to
ease installation or removal of the batteries.

diagram below) for easy access, then remove the Battery Cover
by pulling down the Battery Cover Latch and lifting up the Battery
Cover from the radio.
2. Insert 4 AA batteries observing the polarity as shown. Installing
the batteries incorrectly will prevent the radio from operating or
may damage the radio.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Your radio is equipped for using a rechargeable NiMH battery pack
which can be recharged using a desktop charger. Initial charge time
is 24 hours with a charge time of 12 hours thereafter. For maximum
battery life, we recommend charging the battery pack when the low
battery icon comes on. Remove the radios from the charger when the
charge time expires.
To charge using a Desktop Charger:
1. Place the rechargeable battery packs in the radios.
2. Connect the AC adapter into an AC wall outlet.
3. Insert the AC adapter plug (or DC Cigarette Lighter adapter if
charging in vehicle) into the desktop charger jack.
4. Place the units into the desktop charger slot and note that the LED
indicator will be red, indicating the radio is charging.
In order to ensure that the battery pack is fully charged, it is
recommended that the battery pack be charged for at least 12
hours with the radio turned OFF.
1. Only use the Midland NiMH battery pack.
2. Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or any batteries
or battery packs other than the one indicated in the manual.
This may cause leakage and damage to the radio.
3. For long term storage of the radio, turn the radio OFF and
remove the batteries from the radio.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
Your radio has a BATTERY LEVEL METER
that shows the
battery power level. The greater the number of bars visible, the
stronger the battery level. When the battery level is low, the Battery
Shell
icon and “Lo bt” will flash in the display indicating your
batteries should be replaced or recharged if using a rechargeable
battery pack.

ABOUT RANGE
Your GXT Series radios are designed to give you maximum range
under optimum conditions.
Optimum Conditions are:
l Over water
l Open rural areas without obstructions
l Flat areas where you can see the other person
To ensure you get maximum range:
l Be sure to use fresh or fully charged batteries - low batteries will
cause low power conditions.
l Be sure you are on a GMRS only channel - channels 8 through 14
are restricted by the FCC to low power.
l Be sure to set your radio to use Hi power.
