IMPORTANT NOTICE, FCC LICENSE REQUIRED FOR GMRS OPERATION  
The GXT1000/1050 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 - 42,  
which comprise the GMRS channels of the GXT1000/1050 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:

- 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

CHARGINGTHE OPTIONAL BATTERY PACK  
Your GXT1000/1050 Series is equipped for using an optional  
rechargeable NiMH battery pack (included) which can be recharged  
using a desktop charger (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.  
To charge using a Desktop Charger:  
1. Place the rechargeable battery packs in the radios.  
2. Connect the AC adapter into an AC wall outlet.  
3. Insert the AC adapter plug (or DC Cigarette Lighter adapter if  
charging in vehicle) into the desktop charger jack.  
4. Place the units into the desktop charger slot and note that the LED  
indicator with RED color will light up, indicating charging function.  
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.  
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.  
!

visible, the stronger the battery level. When the battery level is low,  
the Battery Shell  
icon and “Lo bt” will flash in the display  
indicating your batteries should be replaced or recharged if using a  
rechargeable battery pack.
