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

The radios operate 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 radios. 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.

Body-Worn Operation

If you wear the radio on your body when transmitting always use Midland­supplied or approved belt clip, holster, case, or body harness for this product.
Use of any accessories not supplied or approved by Midland may exceed
FCC/Health Canada RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use any accessories
supplied or approved by Midland, ensure the radio and its antenna are at least

1 inch (2.5cm) from your body when transmitting.
