1.It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency message. As the 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 in 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 conversations be kept brief and confined to business. To save time, use coded messages whenever possible.
5.Using a radio to send personal messages (except in an emergency) is a violation of the FCC rules. Send only those messages that are essential for business operation.
6.It is against Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything overheard on the radio. Conversations between others sharing a channel must be regarded as confidential.
7.The FCC requires the operator to identify himself at certain 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 adjustments shall be made to the equipment except by an authorized or certified electronics technician.
