IMPORTANT NOTICE, FCC LICENSE REQUIRED FOR GMRS OPERATION
(Only Applicable for GMRS Radio Use in the United States)
The GXT2000/2050 Series operates 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 GXT2000/2050 Series. 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.
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)
1998
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the general population or
uncontrolled environment exposure limits, transmit no more than 50% of the
time. The radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when
transmitting.
IMPORTANT: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by
MIDLAND RADIO CORP. could void your right to operate this unit. Your radio
is set up to transmit a regulated signal on an assigned frequency. It is against
the law to alter or adjust the settings inside the COMMUNICATOR to exceed
those limitations. Any adjustment to your radio must be made by qualified
technicians.

BATTERY INSTALLATION
Your GXT2000/2050 Series radio operates with either a Li-Polymer
battery pack or optional 4 AA alkaline batteries. The belt clip should
be removed (see below) to ease installation or removal of the
batteries.
To install the batteries:
1. With the back of the radio facing you, remove the belt clip (see
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.
3. Return the Battery Cover by sliding it up on the radio and push up
the Battery Cover Latch until it locks into place. Replace the belt
clip, making sure it locks into place.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Your GXT2000/2050 Series is equipped for using a rechargeable LiPolymer battery pack which can be recharged using a desktop
charger. 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 with RED color will light up, indicating charging function.
Once the battery pack is adequately charged the LED indicator will
change its color to GREEN.
In order to ensure that the battery pack is fully charged, it is
recommended that the battery pack be charged with the radio
turned OFF.
1. Only use our Li-Polymer 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 GXT2000/2050 Series 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.

TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING A CALL
To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same
channel and Privacy Code.
1. For maximum clarity, hold the radio 2 to 3 inches from your mouth.
2. Press and hold the PTT button and speak in a normal voice into the
microphone. The TX icon will appear continuously on the LCD
display while transmitting.
3. To receive a call, release the PTT button. The RX icon will appear
on the display when your radio is receiving a transmission.
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 channel - FRS channels are
restricted by the FCC to low power.
l Be sure to set your radio to use Hi power.
