FCC PART 95 Warning
This device operates on GMRS (General
Mobile Radio Service) frequencies, which
require an FCC (Federal Communications
Commission) license. You must be
licensed prior to transmitting on these
frequencies. Serious penalties could
result for unlicensed use of GMRS
frequencies in violation of FCC rules, as
stipulated in the Communications Act's
Sections 501 and 502 (amended). You
will be issued a call sign by the FCC,
which should be used for station
identification when operating the radio
on GMRS frequencies. You should also
cooperate by engaging in permissible
transmissions only, avoiding channel
interference with other GMRS users,
and being prudent with the length of
your transmission time. To obtain a
license or ask questions about the
license application, contact the FCC at
1-888-CALL-FCC or go to the FCC's
website: https://www.fcc.gov and
request form 605.
