• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
• Turn the device OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in
a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
FCC Licensing Information for UHF Radio Transmit Operation
The receiver includes transmit / receive UHF radios and requires FCC licensure for transmit operation in the United
States. It is illegal to operate the device in Transmit mode (as a UHF Base) without a valid FCC license at any output
power, in any area, under any non-emergency condition.
If you did not have an FCC license when your receivers were shipped, a default frequency table may have been installed
on your receiver. Without an FCC license you may only receive transmissions on these frequencies.
You may not legally use this product in a transmit application without:
Obtaining a valid FCC License.
Verifying the frequency table matches your license.
Adding your FCC ID to the internal radios so that they can properly broadcast your license in Morse Code every
15 minutes.
Putting a label on the devices with your FCC ID.
Keeping a copy of your FCC License with the transmitting devices when they are in use as a transmitter.

nforcement Act, or “PIRATE” Act (S.1228)’ was signed
raising the penalty for non-compliance to $100,000 per day with a $2,000,000 maximum!
If you choose to operate the receiver as a UHF Base without obtaining an FCC license, you do so at your own risk.
Obtaining a New FCC License
If you don’t have an existing FCC license to transmit UHF corrections and you will be using your receiver as a Base (no
license is needed for Rover operation as it is receive-only) you will likely use a ‘Radio Licensing Company’ to obtain
frequency coordination and apply for an FCC license.
We highly recommend using ‘Forest Industries Telecommunications’ to acquire the necessary licensure. For details see
https://igage.com/fcc.htm:
The entire FCC application process typically costs around $470, which includes a Frequency Coordination and FCC filling
fee.
