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 &

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.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
Your radio is equipped for using rechargeable NiMH batteries which can be
recharged by inserting the AC adapter into the radio charge jack. Initial
charge time is 24 hours. Charge time is about 12 hours thereafter. For
maximum battery life, we recommend charging the batteries when the low
battery icon comes on. Remove the radios from the charger when the
charge time expires.
1. Only use our NiMH batteries.
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.

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.
Your radio operates with 3 AAA alkaline batteries or NiMH rechargeable
batteries. The belt clip should be removed 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 pressing
down on the top center and sliding it down from the radio.
2. Insert 3 AAA batteries observing the polarity as shown on the Battery
Compartment. Installing the batteries incorrectly will prevent the unit
from operating or may damage the unit.
3. Return the Battery Cover by sliding it up on the radio. Replace the belt
