IMPORTANT NOTICE, FCC LICENSE REQUIRED FOR GMRS OPERATION
(Only Applicable for GMRS Radio Use in the United States)
Welcome to the world of Midland electronics
Congratulations on your purchase of a high quality MIDLAND product. Your
2-way radio represents the state-of-the-art in high-tech engineering.
Designed for GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) operation, this
compact package is big in performance. It is a quality piece of electronic
equipment, skillfully constructed with the finest components. The circuitry
is all solid-state and mounted on a rugged printed circuit board. Your two-
way radio is designed for reliable and trouble-free performance for years to
come.
The LXT114 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 LXT114 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).
LXT114 Series
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.
