following two conditions : (1) this device does not cause harmful interference, and (2)

this radio must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.

To maintain compliance with FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, for body-worn operation,

IMPORTANT NOTICE, FCC LICENSE REQUIRED FOR GMRS OPERATION

(Only Applicable for GMRS Radio Use in the United States)

The LXT114 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 LXT114 Series. Serious penalties

could result for unlicensed use of GMRS channels, in violation of FCC rules,

as stipulated in the Communications Act's 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 their

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 being 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 Engineer (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.
