Model MXR10
FCC NOTICE
The MXR10 operates on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies, which
require a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license. You must be licensed
prior to operating the GMRS repeater. 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 identification when operating your radios through the GMRS Repeater.
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.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy
Your Midland GMRS repeater 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
Radios generate measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting.
The antenna for this repeater should be fix mounted to permanent outdoor
structures. To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the
general population or uncontrolled environment exposure limits:
1. All persons should maintain a minimum safe separation distance
of 50 inches (127 cm) from the antenna when while the repeater is
operating.
2. An antenna with maximum 8.1 dBi gain should be used.
