License Requirements - Garmin GNS 530W Installation Manual

1.5 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 GNS 530W installation must
comply with current transmitter licensing requirements. 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. The
GNS 530W owner accepts all responsibility for obtaining the proper licensing before using the
transceiver.
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.
