FCC REGULATIONS
LICENSING The FCC requires the owners of J Series radios to obtain a sta-
tionlicense before using them.
The station licensee is responsible for ensuring that transmitter power, frequency
and deviation are within the limits specified by the station license. The station
licensee is also responsible for proper operation and maintenance of the radio
equipment. This includes checking the transmitter frequency and deviation peri-
odically, using appropriate methods.
To get a FCC license for VHF or UHF frequencies, submit FCC application Form
600 as indicated in the block at right. Your Ritron dealer can help you with this pro-
cess.
SAFETY STANDARDS The FCC (with its action in General Docket 79-144,
March 13, 1985) has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio fre-
quency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment. Ritron ob-
serves these guidelines and recommends that you do also:
 DO NOT hold the radio so that the antenna is very close to or touching ex-
posed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
Keep the radio vertical, four inches away while talking into the front panel.
 DO NOT press the Push-To-Talk except when you intend to transmit.
 DO NOT operate radio equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an
explosive atmosphere.
 DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment that contains a
transmitting device.
 Repair of Ritron products should be performed only by Ritron authorized
personnel.
Service - Federal law prohibits you from making any internal adjustments to the
transmitter, and/ or from changing transmit frequencies unless you are
specifically designated by the licensee.
If your radio equipment fails to operate properly, or you wish to have the radio
programmed, contact your authorized dealer or Ritron.
