MXT575. Serious penalties may result from 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 that should be used for station identication
when operating your 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

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 &
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
• Institute of Electrical and Electronics 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:
1. transmit no more than 50% of the time. The radio generates
measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting.
2. Use an antenna with maximum gain of 2.1 dBi including all path
losses.
3. Maintain a minimum safe separation distance of 16 inches (40 cm)
between the antenna and all persons when transmitting.
