ADDITIONAL FCC REGULATIONS
The Business Radio Service is under the jurisdiction of the Federal Communica-
tions Commission (FCC). Any adjustments or alterations that would alter the perfor-
mance of the transceiver so it no longer meets the original FCC type acceptance or
would change the frequency-determining method are strictly prohibited.
Replacement or substitution of crystals, transistors, ICS, regulator diodes, or any
other component that is of a unique nature with components other than those rec-
ommended can violate the technical regulations of the FCC rules or violate type ac-
ceptance requirement of the rules.
Before you operate the transceiver, you must obtain your license. It is illegal to
transmit without the appropriate license, which you can get by submitting a complet-
ed FCC Form 600 to the FCC (or through the PCIA if you do not qualify for either of
the supplied frequencies). Furthermore, you are required to understand Part 90 of
the
FCC Rules and Regulations
prior to operating your transceiver. It is the user’s
responsibility to see that this unit is operating at all times in accordance with the
FCC Rules and Regulations
