LICENSING
The MURS base radio does not require an FCC license. The following
information is provided for other radio models where the FCC requires
the owners of the radios to obtain a station license 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.
