OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS

Two way FM radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). As an operator of two way radio equipment, the user must be thoroughly familiar with the rules that apply to the intended type of radio operation. Following these rules will help to eliminate confusion, assure the most efficient use of existing radio channels, and result in a smoothly functioning radio network.

When using the radio, remember these rules:

1.It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency message. In conventional mode the radio operates in much the same way as a telephone "party line" therefore always listen to make sure that the line is clear--that no one else is on the air--before sending any messages. If someone is sending an emergency message--such as reporting a fire or asking for help in an accident- -KEEP OFF THE AIR!

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 conversations be brief and confined to business. To save time, use coded messages whenever possible.

5.Using the radio to send personal messages (except in an emergency) is a violation of FCC rules. Only those messages essential for the business operation may be sent.

6.It is against the Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything overheard on the radio. Conversations between others sharing a communications channel must be regarded as confidential.

7.The FCC also requires that the caller be identified at certain specific times by means of call letters. Refer to the rules that apply to the particular type of operation for the proper procedure.

8.No changes or adjustment shall be made to the equipment except by an authorized or certified electronic technician.
