THIS RADIO COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. OPERATION IS
SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION THAT THIS DEVICE DOES NOT CAUSE
HARMFUL INTERFERENCE.

Your Midland model 75-517 brings the new FRS (Family Radio Service) to your
fingertips. The Family Radio Service is provided for by the FCC and is totally license
free. For the first time business and the general public can use the quiet UHF FM band
for personal communications at no air time charge. The 75-517 uses maximum
allowable power for range up to 2 miles. Use for fishing, hunting, picnics, biking,
business, or any other activity where communications are needed for convenience or
safety. The model 75-517 incorporates all 14 channels with 38 different CTCSS and
83 DCS codes to provide the best in quiet communications. Also this radio offers
scan, power save, 9 memory channels and a multifunction back-lighted liquid crystal
display. This unit also incorporates VOX (voice operated transmit) that allows hands
free use when the radio is equipped with certain accessories.

TIPS FOR GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR 75-517

Due to the band of operation (462/467 MHz) the 75-517 provides communications that
are virtually free of atmospheric interference (skip) that is common on lower
frequency bands. Along with this and an antenna system that is very efficient as
compared to other unlicensed radio bands, communications range is surprisingly good.
Many times the limit to maximum possible range is environmental factors such as
blockage caused by trees, buildings, hills, or other obstructions. If you find
communication is not possible, many times this can be overcome by moving only a few
feet to a new location. Range is greatly reduced while operating from a metal building
or from a vehicle. Battery condition also affects range. The 75-517 operates on
rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries or alkaline batteries. While this unit has been designed
