License Requirements

The Telecommunications Act of 1996, effective February 8, 1996, provides the FCC discretion to
eliminate radio station license requirements for aircraft and ships. The GTN 6XX installations must
comply with current transmitter licensing requirements. In the US, to find out the specific details on
whether a particular installation is exempt from licensing, please visit the FCC web site
http://wireless.fcc.gov/aviation. If an aircraft license is required, make application for a license on FCC
form 404, Application for Aircraft Radio Station License. The FCC also has a fax-on-demand service to
provide forms by fax. Outside the US, contact the responsible telecommunication authority. The
GTN 625, 635, and 650 owner accepts all responsibility for obtaining the proper licensing before using
the transceiver. The maximum transmitting power, modulation identification, and frequency band
information may be required for licensing and are detailed in Section 1.4.4.
The VHF transmitter in this equipment is guaranteed to meet Federal Communications
Commission acceptance over the operating temperature range. Modifications not
expressly approved by Garmin could invalidate the license and make it unlawful to
operate the equipment.
