1.3 LICENSE REQUIREMENTS

If any of these devices are connected to a personal computer used in home or in office, then the four
following paragraphs are applicable.
These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC limits for Class B digital devices. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to other equipment, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by relocating the equipment or
connecting the equipment to a different circuit than the affected equipment.
Consult an authorized dealer or other qualified avionics service technician for additional help if these
remedies do not correct the problem. These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation
is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
These units do not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized
Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void your warranty and your
authority to operate this device under Part 15 Regulations.
The FCC requires Garmin to inform users that these units meet the more stringent requirements "For
Home or Office Use".
The following guidance is provided to help ensure the proper licensing of the GNC 300XL Comm.
1. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 effective February 8, 1996 provides the FCC discretion
to eliminate radio station license requirements for aircraft. At present, an individual license to
operate the GNC 300XL aboard a private aircraft is not needed in many circumstances. Please
see FCC Fact Sheet PR5000 or contact the FCC at 1-800-322-1117 for more information.
2. No license change is required for aircraft that already have a station license per FCC 404
Instructions dated 1994.
3. If an aircraft license is required or desired, contact the FCC at 1-800-322-1117 to request FCC
form 404, "Application for Aircraft Radio Station License," to apply for FCC authorization.
The FCC also has a "Fax on Demand" service to provide forms by fax at 202-418-0177.
