1.2.5 FCC License Requirements Operation of the XR transmitter requires an FCC operating license which must be applied for by the operator of the equipment. The XR models with attached whip antennae require a mobile license. Prior to operating the XR transmitter, an application must be filed with the FCC and a license granted from the FCC.
The usage of other power supplies is not approved and may affect the transmitter’s operation. The transmitter is designed for indoor use in a non-condensing, non-wet area. Operating the XR transmitter outdoors is an electrical hazard and may damage the transmitter and devices attached to the transmitter, and may void the warranty.

2.2.1 General Set Up Considerations The XR transmitter should be located in an area that maximizes the propagation of the signal to the largest area in the facility. The FCC license needs to be applied for and granted before the equipment can be set up and operated. The channel switch setting on the back of the transmitter must match the channel authorized by the license.
