To maintain compliance with FCC's RF exposure guidelines, for body-worn operation, this radio has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with Midland Radio Corp. accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. (Tested with Headset Model: AVP-1)

IMPORTANT NOTICE FCC LICENSE REQUIRED FOR BUSINESS RADIO OPERATION

The BR777 operates on UHF frequencies which require an FCC (Federal Communications Commission) license. You must be licensed prior to operating on these frequencies. Serious penalties could result for unlicensed use of these frequencies, 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 which should be used for station identification when operating the radio on these channels. You should also cooperate by engaging in permissible transmissions only, avoiding channel interference with other users, and being prudent with the length of their 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 601.

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 being 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 Engineer (IEEE) C95. 1-1999 Edition
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) of the United States, Report 86, 1986
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998

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 by MIDLAND RADIO CORP. and BLUE STAR could void your right to operate this unit. Your radio is set up to transmit a regulated signal on an assigned frequency. It is against the law to alter or adjust the settings inside the COMMUNICATOR to exceed those limitations. Any adjustment to your radio must be made by qualified technicians.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Your BR777 radio operates with 3.7Vdc 650mAh Li-ion Battery Pack (BATT7L). The belt clip should be removed (see INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP) to ease installation or removal of the batteries.

To install the batteries:

1. With the back of the radio facing you, remove the belt clip (see INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP) for easy access, then remove the Battery Cover by pressing down on the top center and sliding it down from the radio.

2. Insert the Li-ion Battery Pack, observing the polarity as shown. Installing the batteries incorrectly will prevent the unit from operating or may damage the unit.

3. Return the Battery Cover by sliding it up on the radio. Replace the belt clip.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

Your BR777 is equipped for using a rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack which can be recharged using a desktop charger (BRC501). Initial charge time is 2 hours with a charge time of 2 hours thereafter. For maximum battery life, we recommend charging the battery pack when the low battery icon comes on.

To charge using a Desktop Charger (BRC501):

1. Turn off the unit.
2. Place the rechargeable battery packs in the radios.
3. Connect the AC adapter (18AD2) into an AC wall outlet.
4. Insert the AC adapter plug into the desktop charger jack.
5. Place the units into the desktop charger slot and note that the LED indicator with RED color will light up, indicating charging function. Once the battery packs are fully charged, the LED indicator will change to GREEN color.

In order to ensure that the battery pack is fully charged, it is recommended that the battery pack be charged with the radio turned OFF.

1. Only use our Li-ion battery pack.
2. Do not attempt to charge any battery packs other than the one indicated in the manual. This may cause leakage and damage to the radio.
3. For long term storage of the radio, turn the radio OFF and remove the batteries from the radio.

CHARGING THRU THE MULTI-UNIT CHARGER

The BRC601 Multi-unit charger (not included) allows charging of up to 6 radios at the same time.

To charge using the Multi-unit Charger (BRC601):

1. Turn off the units.
2. Place the rechargeable battery packs in the radios.
3. Connect the AC adapter (18AD6) into an AC wall outlet.
4. Insert the AC adapter plug into the Multi-unit charger jack.
5. Place the units into the desktop charger slot and note that the LED indicator with RED color will light up, indicating charging function. Once the battery packs are fully charged, the LED indicator will change to GREEN color.

BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR

Your BR777 has a BATTERY LEVEL METER that shows the battery power level. The greater the number of bars visible, the stronger the battery level. When the battery level is low, the Battery Meter icon will display the Battery Shell only; indicating your Li-ion Battery Pack should be replaced or recharged. If the Li-ion Battery Pack is not charged at this time, the radio will automatically turn off after a few minutes to save the remaining battery energy.

Press the MODE button for 3 seconds to turn the radio on. During Power On, the radio will beep 2 times with different tones, the LCD will display all icons for 1 second and the LCD display will indicate the last channel selected.

To turn the radio off press the MODE button for 3 seconds.
