Operating Rules and Regulations
Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). As an operator of
two-way radio equipment, you must be thoroughly familiar
with the rules that apply to your particular type of radio
operation. Following these rules will help eliminate
confusion and will assure the most efficient use of existing
radio channels. This will provide a smooth operating radio
network.
When using the radio, remember these rules:
1. It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or
emergency message. As the radio operates in much
the same way as a telephone "party line", always listen
and/or observe the absence of the “BSY” display to
make sure that the line is clear before sending any
messages. If someone is sending an emergency
message, such as reporting a fire or asking for help in
an accident, KEEP OFF THE AIR! Emergency calls
have priority over all other messages.
2. Use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by
Federal Law.
3. It is against the law to send false call letters or a false
distress or emergency message.
19
4. The FCC requires that conversations be brief and
confined to business. To save time, use coded
messages whenever possible.
5. Using the radio to send personal messages (except in
an emergency) is a violation of FCC rules. Send only
those messages essential for the business operation.
6. It is against the Federal law to repeat or otherwise
make known anything overheard on the radio.
Conversations between others sharing your channel
must be regarded as confidential.
Intrinsically Safe Usage
Selected portable radios with appropriate factory installed
Options are certified as Intrinsically Safe by the Factory
Mutual Research Corporation.

Operating Tips
The following conditions tend to reduce the effective range
of two-way radios and should be avoided whenever
possible.
•Operating the radio in low terrain areas or while under
power lines or bridges.
•Operating the radio inside of a vehicle or inside metal
or steel framed building unless using an outside
antenna.
