Midland Radio LXT118 User Manual

(Only Applicable for GMRS Radio Use in the United States)
The LXT118 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 LXT118 Series. Serious penalties 

could result from unlicensed use of GMRS channels, in violation of FCC rules, 

as stipulated in the Communications Acts 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 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 FCC’s website:

http://www.fcc.gov and request form 605.

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 & 

Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992

- Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1999 Edition

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
