Regulations and Precautions
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission and the
Canadian Department of Communications regulate
cellular radiotelephone service in their respective
countries. It is important for you, the

MicroTAC

phone
user, to observe the applicable regulations when operating
your phone in either country. In addition to these U. S. and
Canadian federal regulations, you may also be bound by
certain state, provincial, territorial, and local rules and
regulations, as well as by your cellular carrier’s tariff (the
rates, terms, and conditions of its service). If you wish to
use your phone in both the U.S. and Canada, please
consult with your system operator.
Furthermore, you should remember that your
MicroTAC
phone is a radiotelephone system (i.e., it combines both
wireline technology, as used in your home or office
telephone system, and radio technology), and that the
scope of regulations and precautions is therefore broader
than the scope of regulations and precautions relating to
wireline-only telephone usage.
Some of the major points of consideration are set out
below. Please note, however, that this “Rules, Regulations,
and Precautions” section does not constitute legal advice,
and is intended merely for general information purposes. If
you have any specific questions, please contact your
Cellular Carrier (System Operator).

License -

If your home system is in the U.S., you do not
require a separate license to operate your
MicroTAC
phone; obtaining a cellular telephone access number is
sufficient to register you as a user. If your home system is in
Canada, a separate license is required. Your carrier will
assist you in the licensing process. If you wish to use your
MicroTAC
phone in both the U.S. and Canada, please
contact your Cellular Carrier (System Operator). Your base
should operate in only one location.
