Call 800-USA-1-USA (800-872-1872) or visit our website at www.ritron.com ii FCC REGULATIONS LICENSING The FCC requires the owners of J Series radios to obtain a stationlicense before using them. The station licensee is responsible for ensuring that transmitter power, frequency and deviation are within the limits specified by the station license. The station licensee is also responsible for proper operation and maintenance of the radio equipment. This includes checking the transmitter frequency and deviation periodically, using appropriate methods. To get a FCC license for VHF or UHF frequencies, submit FCC application Form 600 as indicated in the block at right. Your Ritron dealer can help you with this process. SAFETY STANDARDS The FCC (with its action in General Docket 79-144, March 13, 1985) has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment. Ritron observes these guidelines and recommends that you do also: DO NOT hold the radio so that the antenna is very close to or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. Keep the radio vertical, four inches away while talking into the front panel. DO NOT press the Push-To-Talk except when you intend to transmit. DO NOT operate radio equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment that contains a transmitting device. Repair of Ritron products should be performed only by Ritron authorized personnel. Service - Federal law prohibits you from making any internal adjustments to the transmitter, and/ or from changing transmit frequencies unless you are specifically designated by the licensee. If your radio equipment fails to operate properly, or you wish to have the radio programmed, contact your authorized dealer or Ritron. RITRON, INC. Repair Department P. O.
