FCC REGULATIONS
LICENSING
The FCC requires the owners of the radios to obtain a
station license before using them.
The station licensee is responsible for ensuring that trans-
mitter power, frequency and deviation are within the limits
specied by the station license. The station licensee is
also responsible for proper operation and maintenance of
the radio equipment. This includes checking the transmit-
ter frequency and deviation periodically, using appro-
priate methods.
To get a FCC license for VHF or UHF frequencies, sub-
mit 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 hu-
man 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, es-
pecially 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.
