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 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 V F or U F frequencies, submit FCC application Form 000600
& Form 159 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 so also:
·DO NOT operate a mobile radio transmitter when someone outside the vehicle is within two feet of the
antenna.
·DO NOT transmit with a fixed radio(base station, microwave, rural telephone RF e uipment) or
marine radio when someone is within two feet of the antenna.
·DO NOT operate any radio transmitter unless all RF connectors are secure and any open connectors
are properly terminated.
·DO NOT operate radio e uipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
·GROUND ALL RADIO EQUIPMENT according to RITRONs installation sheet.
·RITRON products should be repaired 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 lic-
ensee. If your radio equipment fails to operate properly, or you wish to have the radio
programmed, contact your authorized dealer or Ritron.
