Realistic TRC-422A - Licensing and Regulatory Compliance; FCC License Requirements (USA); DOC License Requirements (Canada); Operational Preparation and Advice

F.C.C. LICENSE (U.S.A.)
Before transmitting with your Transceiver, you must have an FCC Class D
Citizens Radio Service License. If you don’t have a license yet, you can
fill out the Temporary Permit Form 555-B for a temporary license. This
enables you to get on-the-air immediately. Also, fill out and mail in FCC
Form 505 CB License Application to:
Federal Communications Commission
P.O. BOX 1010
Gettysburg, Penn. 17326
You must also read and know Part 95 of the FCC Rules and Regulations;
they apply to the operation of a Class D Citizens Band unit. We've
provided a copy of this regulation (along with the forms noted above).
NOTE: Units manufactured for sale in the U.S.A. cannot legally be used
in Canada. Canadian models have been D.O.C. approved and
carry a D.O.C. approval label with its approval number.
D.O.C. LICENSE (CANADA)
Before transmitting with your Transceiver, you must obtain a Department
of Communications (D.O.C.) General Radio Service License. We've
provided such an application form-with your unit—complete the form and
mail with the appropriate fee to the Radio Regulations Office nearest you.
D.O.C. Approval Number:
NOTE: Units manufactured for sale and use in Canada are not identical to
units type-accepted by the FCC. Canadian models have been
approved by D.O.C. and are to be used only in Canada.
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR HELP...
Our repair centers receive many returned products which are actually
working perfectly. Maybe the owner just didn’t read the instructions, or
overlooked something. Or perhaps the problem was a blown fuse that the
owner could easily have replaced.
So read this manual carefully and be sure you understand all the basic
features of this CB — and the special ones, too! And before you assume
your Transceiver needs repair, refer to the Service and Maintenance
section of this manual, to see if the problem is something you can
eliminate.
