IMPORTANT NOTICE FCC LICENSE REQUIRED FOR BUSINESS RADIO

OPERATION

The BR777 operates on UHF frequencies which require an FCC (Federal
Communications Commission) license. You must be licensed prior to operating
on these frequencies. Serious penalties could result for unlicensed use of these
frequencies, 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 these channels. You should also
cooperate by engaging in permissible transmissions only, avoiding channel
interference with other 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 601.

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.

Your BR777 radio operates with 3.7Vdc 650mAh Li-ion Battery Pack
(BATT7L). The belt clip should be removed (see INSTALLING THE
BELT CLIP) 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
INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP) for easy access, then remove the
Battery Cover by pressing down on the top center and sliding it
down from the radio.

2. Insert the Li-ion Battery Pack, observing the polarity as shown.
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 clip.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

Your BR777 is equipped for using a rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack
which can be recharged using a desktop charger (BRC501). Initial
charge time is 2 hours with a charge time of 2 hours thereafter. For
maximum battery life, we recommend charging the battery pack when
the low battery icon comes on.

To charge using a Desktop Charger (BRC501):

1. Turn off the unit.

2. Place the rechargeable battery packs in the radios.

3. Connect the AC adapter (18AD2) into an AC wall outlet.

4. Insert the AC adapter plug into the desktop charger jack.

5. Place the units into the desktop charger slot and note that the LED

indicator with RED color will light up, indicating charging function.
Once the battery packs are fully charged, the LED indicator will
change to GREEN color.

In order to ensure that the battery pack is fully charged, it is
recommended that the battery pack be charged with the radio
turned OFF.

1. Only use our Li-ion battery pack.

2. Do not attempt to charge any
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.

The BRC601 Multi-unit charger (not included) allows charging of up to
6 radios at the same time.

To charge using the Multi-unit Charger (BRC601):

1. Turn off the units.

2. Place the rechargeable battery packs in the radios.

3. Connect the AC adapter (18AD6) into an AC wall outlet.

4. Insert the AC adapter plug into the Multi-unit charger jack.

5. Place the units into the desktop charger slot and note that the LED
indicator with RED color will light up, indicating charging function.
Once the battery packs are fully charged, the LED indicator will
change to GREEN color.

BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR

Your BR777 has a BATTERY LEVEL METER that shows the
battery power level. The greater the number of bars visible, the
stronger the battery level. When the battery level is low, the Battery
Meter icon will display the Battery Shell only; indicating your
Li-ion Battery Pack should be replaced or recharged. If the Li-ion
Battery Pack is not charged at this time, the radio will automatically
turn off after a few minutes to save the remaining battery energy.
