IMPORTANT NOTICE, FCC LICENSE REQUIRED FOR GMRS OPERATION
The XT511 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 XT511 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.

CHARGING THE OPTIONAL BATTERY PACK
Your XT511 Series is equipped for using an rechargeable NiMH battery
pack which can be recharged using an AC wall adapter (included) or a DC
adapter (included). Initial charge time is 24 hours with a charge time of 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.
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.
You can also charge the rechargeable NiMH battery pack using the Crank
Dynamo.
To charge using the Crank Dynamo rotate rapidly the Crank Dynamo
handle clockwise.
To get the best charging condition, it is recommended to charge the
battery pack thru the Crank Dynamo with the radio turned OFF.
1. Only use our NiMH battery pack.
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.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
Your XT511 Series 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 Shell icon
will flash in the display indicating your batteries should be replaced or
recharged if using a rechargeable battery pack.
SELECTING
THE BATTERY SOURCE
Your XT511 Series can use either an Alkaline battery or the rechargeable
NiMH battery pack. Just set the BATTERY SOURCE switch to either
“Alkaline” or “Rechargeable” (for NiMH battery pack) mode.
