FCC NOTICE

The MXT400 operates on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service)

frequencies, which require a Federal Communications Commission

(FCC) license. You must be licensed prior to operating on channels 1-7,

15-22 or RP15-22, which comprise the GMRS channels of the MXT400.

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 identication when operating your 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.

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

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

▪To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the general popu-

lation or uncontrolled environment exposure limits, transmit no more than

50% of the time. The radio generates measurable RF energy exposure

only when transmitting.

▪ The consumer must maintain a minimum safe separation distance of

38.93 inches (99 cm) from the antenna when transmitting.

INSTALLING YOUR RADIO

Preparation for Installation

This radio may be installed in any 12-volt negative ground system vehicle.

Most current U.S. and Foreign vehicles use a negative ground system,

but some older models and some newer large trucks may have a positive

ground. Check the specications for your vehicle before beginning

installation. Generally, you have a negative-ground system if the negative

(-) battery terminal is connected to the motor block. Contact your dealer if

you are unable to determine your vehicle’s polarity system.

1. Read these instructions completely before beginning installation.

2. Read and follow all safety precautions in your vehicle’s Service Manual.

3. Make sure all necessary tools, materials, and parts are on hand.

4. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before installing your radio. Be

sure to reconnect the cable when installation is complete.

5. Determine a mounting location for your radio. Choose a location that does

not impair visibility or interfere with driving. Also take into consideration

the routing and length of the lead wires and cables to the power source,

antenna, and/or optional external speaker.

CAUTION: Extreme care should be exercised when drilling into

the dash to avoid damage to under dash electronic ignition,

cruise control, instrument and/or accessory wiring.

1. Using the mounting bracket as a

template, mark the location of each

screw hole. Use a nail or other sharp

pointed object to mark the hole

locations.

2. Attach the bracket with the supplied

self-tapping screws. Tighten the

screws securely. DO NOT OVER-

TIGHTEN.

3. Determine the best suited position

for using the radio, then insert and

tighten the supplied SEMS screws.

Installing the Antenna

To get the best range from the MXT400 an external antenna (50Ω) should

be used. The antenna is intended to be attached to the vehicle’s roof,

trunk or similar location. Specic installation requirements vary between

vehicles. Use the following guidelines to install the antenna.

*Where you locate your antenna does make a difference.*

1. Metal surfaces covered by berglass or vinyl may affect radio range.

Avoid these locations.

2. Mount the antenna as high on the vehicle as possible. The higher the

better.

3. If possible, mount the antenna in the center of whatever surface you

choose.

4. The antenna cable is 19.7 feet (6 meters) long. Be sure the mounting

location will allow for connection of the cable to the radio.

5. Be sure the mounting location is clean and dry before installing the

antenna.

6. Route the antenna cable through an accessible entry point, such as a

rear door or trunk opening.

7. When routing the antenna cable inside the vehicle, keep the cable

away from noise sources, such as the ignition system, gauges, etc.

8. Exercise care to prevent cable damage. Make use of existing gaskets,

grommets and weather stripping to protect the cable along its route.

Electrical and Rear Panel Connections

Refer to Rear Panel Connections for rear panel connector locations.

NOTE: Radio antenna is installed separately.

Connecting the Radio to a Power Source

1. Connect the positive lead (RED wire with in-line fuse holder) to either

(a) the fuse block or (b) directly to the positive post of the vehicle’s

battery.

NOTE: The fuse block is usually the most convenient connection point.

The power cord positive lead can also be connected to the Accessory

terminal on the fuse block or ignition switch, so the radio automatically

turns off when the ignition is turned off.

2. Tightly connect the ground lead (BLACK wire) directly to the vehicle’s

metal frame. A good direct metal-to-metal ground is essential for

optimum performance.

Connecting the Microphone

Insert the RJ45 connector into the front of the MXT400. To remove, lightly

pinch the bottom region of the boot assembly of the Microphone and gently

pull towards you.

The microphone bracket can then be attached to the vehicle dash or other

convenient location in a manner similar to the mounting bracket.

Using an External Speaker

The MXT400 provides a rear-panel jack for connection of an optional

external speaker (sold separately).

When selecting an external speaker, ensure the speaker has 8-ohm

impedance and is rated for 4.0 watts.

NOTE: When an external speaker is connected, the radio’s internal

speaker is automatically disabled.
