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 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.
