IMPORTANT NOTICE, FCC LICENSE REQUIRED FOR
GMRS OPERATION
(Only Applicable for GMRS Radio Use in the United States)
The LXT118 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 LXT118 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:
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.

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

CHARGING THE BATTERY
Your LXT118 Series 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 thereaf-
ter. 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 bat-
tery 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.
