FCC 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
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 an FCC license for VHF or UHF frequencies,
submit FCC application Form 601. Your Ritron dealer
can help you with this process.
How to Obtain an FCC Radio License
Because your Ritron radio operates on Private Land
Mobile frequencies, it is subject to the Rules and
Regulations of the FCC, which requires all operators of
these frequencies to obtain a station license before
operating their equipment. Make application for your
FCC license on FCC Forms 601, Schedules D and H,
and Fee Remittance Form 159.

from your fax machine; request Document numbers
3000159, 3060001, 3060003, and 3060006.

Safety Standards
The FCC (with its action in General Docket 79-144, March
13, 1985) has adopted a safety standard for human expo-
sure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by
FCC regulated equipment. Ritron observes these guide-
lines 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,
eight inches away while talking into the front panel.
• DO NOT press the Push-To-Talk except when you in-
tend to transmit.
• DO NOT operate radio equipment near electrical blast-
ing 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.
