operation instructions in this manual conform to Part 90, but do not cover all items in Part
90.
Overall, Part 90 states that:
You must have a valid license before you use the transceiver.
As licensee, you are responsible for proper operation of all transceivers operating under
your license’s authority.
You can let unlicensed persons operate transmitter, as long as you take precautions to
prevent unauthorized transmissions.
You must use this transceiver only for commercial use of your business, and only when
other commercial channels (such as the telephone) are either not available or not
practical.
You must always yield the operating frequency to communications that involve the
safety of life or property.
You must take reasonable precautions to prevent harmful interference to other services
operating on the same frequency.
You must not transmit program material of any kind used in connection with commercial
broadcasting.
You must not provide a service that is normally handles by telephone or telegraph
unless such broadcasts involve the safety of life and property or in emergencies such
as an earthquake, hurricane, flood or a similar disaster where normal communications
channels are disrupted.
During each transmissions or exchange of transmissions, you must identify your station
with the call sign issued to you by the FCC, or once each 15 minutes during periods of
continuous operation.
You must keep a written record of any maintenance or modifications made to the
transceiver, and you must make this record available for inspection upon demand by
the FCC.
Violating any of the provisions of Part 90 can result in fines and/or confiscation of
equipment.
Your transceiver might cause TV or Radio interference even when it is operating properly.
To determine whether your transceiver is causing the interference, turn off your transceiver.
If the interference goes away, your transceiver us causing it. Try to eliminate the
interference by:

Contacting your local RadioShack store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your
transceiver.
ADDITIONAL FCC REGULATIONS

SAFETY INFORMATION
Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the
Push-to-Talk button is pushed it sends our radio frequency (RF) signals. The device is
authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50%. In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
hand-held wireless devices.
CAUTION:
To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines hold the transmitter and
antenna at least 2 inch (5 centimeters) from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the
antenna pointed up and away from the face. If you wear the handset on your body while
using the headset accessory, use only the supplied belt clip for this product and when
transmitting, take it out of the belt to ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5
centimeters) from your body.
Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, attachments could
damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
