4 OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS

Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations

of the local, regional, or national government.

In the United States, the JHM-875S35J mobile radio must be operated in accordance with

the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). As an

operator of two-way radio equipment, you must be thoroughly familiar with the rules that

apply to your particular type of radio operation. Following these rules helps eliminate

confusion, assures the most efficient use of the existing radio channels, and results in a

smoothly functioning radio network.

When using your two-way radio, remember these rules:

 It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency message. As your

radio operates in much the same way as a telephone “party line,” always listen to make

sure that the channel is clear before transmitting. Emergency calls have priority over

all other messages. If someone is sending an emergency message – such as reporting a

fire or asking for help in an accident –

KEEP OFF THE AIR!

 The use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by Federal law.

 It is against the law to send false call letters or false distress or emergency messages.

The FCC requires that you keep conversations brief and confine them to business. To

save time, use coded messages whenever possible.

 Using your radio to send personal messages (except in an emergency) is a violation of

FCC rules. You may send only those messages that are essential for the operation of

your business.

 It is against Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything you overhear on

your radio. Conversations between others sharing your channel must be regarded as

confidential.

 The FCC requires that you identify yourself at certain specific times by means of your

call letters. Refer to the rules that apply to your particular type of operation for the

proper procedure.

 No changes or adjustments shall be made to the equipment except by an authorized or

certified electronics technician.

NOTE

Under U.S. law, operation of an unlicensed radio transmitter within the

jurisdiction of the United States may be punishable by a fine of up to

$10,000, imprisonment for up to two (2) years, or both.
