When using your two-way radio remember these rules:
1.
It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency message.
And, as your radio operates in much the same way as a telephone "party
line", always listen to make sure that the line is clear - that no one else is
on the air - before sending messages. If someone is sending an emergency
message - such as reporting a fire, or asking for help in an accident - KEEP
OFF THE AIR! Emergency calls have priority over all other messages.
2.
Use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by Federal law.
3.
It is against the law to send false call letters, or a false distress or emergency
message.
4.
The FCC requires that you keep conversations brief and confine them to
business. To save time, use coded messages whenever possible.
5.
Using your radio to send personal messages (except in an emergency) is a
violation of the FCC rules. You may send only those messages that are
essential for the operation of your business.
6.
It is against the Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything
you overhear on your radio. Conversations between others sharing your
channel must be regarded as confidential.
7.
The FCC also requires that you identify yourself at certain times by means
of your call letters. Refer to the rules that apply to your particular type of
operation for the proper procedure.
The GE-MARC system is already automatically identified and does not
require identifying yourself.
8.
No changes or adjustments shall be made to the equipment except by an
authorized or certified electronic technician.
