1.4 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. GTR/GNC installations must comply
with current transmitter licensing requirements. In the US, 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.
Outside the US, contact the responsible telecommunication authority. The GTR/GNC owner accepts all
responsibility for obtaining the proper licensing before using the transceiver. The maximum transmitting
power, modulation identification, and frequency band information may be required for licensing and are
detailed in Section 1.4.4.
CAUTION
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.
