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.
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 our NiMH battery pack and AC adapter.
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.

on the LCD display if the battery voltage level is low. At this point, the
battery needs to be charged for at least 12 hrs.
OPERATING YOUR RADIO
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
POWER ON/OFF AND VOLUME
Your radio is equipped to use a rechargeable NiMH battery pack
which can be recharged with the optional desktop charger (as
described below). The radio can also be charged 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 battery pack when the low battery icon
comes on. Remove the radios from the charger when the charge time
expires.
Press the POWER/MENU button for at least 3 seconds to turn the
radio on/off. During Power On, the radio will beep 3 times with
different tones, the LCD will display all icons for 1 second and the
LCD display will indicate the last channel selected.
To increase/decrease the volume level, press the s\t buttons
during RX or STANDBY mode.
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.
