munication with extreme reliability. This brand new transceiver, with its eye-
catching design and sturdy mechanical frame is the ideal solution for both the

up with friends and family.
Extremely robust and easy to use, G7/G7E Pro is ideal for use in any activity;
it operates on both PMR446 and LPD bands (see the chart ‘Restrictions on
use’).
The Midland G7/G7E Pro incorporates all the functions that you would expect
to see on the latest and most advanced transceivers and guarantees maximum
eciency.
The improved audio and Side Tone are the most important features of this new
radio; other key functions include an LCD backlit display, a Vibrating call alert
feature for use in high-noise areas and an auto power save function which re-
duces battery consumption by up to 50%. All of the features on this outstan-
ding radio are easily accessible thanks to the centrally mounted controls.

Coverage (referred to PMR frequency band)
The maximum range depends on terrain condition and is obtained during use
in an open space.
The only limitation to maximum possible range are environmental factors such
as blockage caused by trees, buildings, or other obstructions. Inside a car or a
metallic constructions, the range can be reduced. Normally the coverage in
the city, with buidings or other obstructions is about 1 or 2 Km. In open space
but with obstructions like trees, leafs or houses the maximum possible range is
about 4-6 Km. In open space, without obstructions and in sight, like for exam-
ple in mountain, the coverage can be more than 12 Km.

Above all….Safety!
Warnings
! Do not open the radio for any reason! The radio’s precision mechanics and
electronics require experience and specialized equipment; for the same reason,
the radio should under no circumstances be realigned as it has already been
calibrated for maximum performance. Unauthorized opening of the transcei-
ver will void the warranty.
! Do not use detergents, alcohol, solvents, or abrasives to clean the equipment.
Just use a soft, clean cloth. If the radio is very dirty, slightly dampen the cloth
with a mixture of water and a neutral soap.
BATTERIES
! Do not try to charge alkaline batteries or non rechargeable batteries. Make
sure that when you charge the radio, only rechargeable NI-MH batteries
should be contained in the battery compartment! It is very dangerous at-
tempting to recharge other types of batteries (for example alkaline or man-
ganese batteries). Batteries which are not suitable to be recharged may leak,
explode or even burn and cause damage!
! Using a dierent battery charger other than the one specified can cause da-
mage to your device or may even cause explosions and personal injuries.
! Do not throw batteries into fire or place them near heat as this may cause ex-
plosions or personal injuries. Dispose of the batteries according to procedures
set out by local regulations.
! Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of dierent types or batteries
which have been used in dierent manners.
