Do not operate the transmitter when a person is outside of the vehicle within two feet of
the antenna! Failure to heed this warning may result in burns or related physical injury
to the person.
Liquefied (LP) Gas Powered Vehicles
Mobile radio installations in vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas with the LP
gas container in the trunk or other sealed-off space within the interior of the vehicle
must conform to the National Fire Protection Association standard (NFPA) 58
requiring that:
A. The space containing the radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal from the

General Radio Operating Procedures
Industry Canada (IC) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules and
regulations must be incorporated in the use of radio systems. Familiarity with these rules by
the operator is essential for proper execution of the type of radio operation that is in
question. Following these rules helps to eliminate confusion, assures the most efficient use
of existing radio channels, and results in a smoothly functioning radio network. When using
this unit remember these rules:
A. Emergency calls always have priority over all messages! To interrupt any distress or
emergency message is a violation of the IC and FCC rules. When operating the radio
make sure that the line is clear before sending messages. KEEP OFF THE AIR
when an emergency message is being sent through.
B. Use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by Federal law.
C. Sending false call letters, false distress or emergency messages is against the law.
D. IC and FCC demand that conversations are kept brief and content limited only to
business. Coded messages are encouraged in order to save time.
E. Only messages that are essential for the business operations are allowed to be sent.
Otherwise using the radio to send personal messages is a direct violation of the IC
and FCC rules.
F. Conversations between others sharing a channel is regarded as confidential.
Repeating anything overheard on the radio is against Federal Law.
G. The IC and FCC require the operator to transmit station identification at certain times
by means of call letters. Refer to the IC and FCC rules for your station's particular
type of operation for the proper procedure.
H. No changes or adjustments shall be made to the equipment except by an authorized
or certified electronics technician.
