1.2.3 License Requirements
CAUTION
THE TRANSMITTER IN THIS EQUIPMENT IS GUARANTEED TO MEET FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION ACCEPTANCE OVER THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE. MODIFICATIONS NOT
EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY GARMIN COULD INVALIDATE THE LICENSE AND MAKE IT UNLAWFUL TO
OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996, effective February 8, 1996, provides the FCC discretion to eliminate radio station
license requirements for aircraft and ships. GDL 82 installations must comply with current transmitter licensing
requirements. In the US, to find out the specific details on whether a particular installation is exempt from licensing,
please visit the FCC website
http://wireless.fcc.gov/aviation
. If an aircraft license is required, submit an application for a
license on FCC form 404. To provide forms by fax the FCC also has a fax-on-demand service. Outside the US, contact
the responsible telecommunication authority. The GDL 82 owner accepts all responsibility for obtaining the proper
licensing before using the transceiver. The maximum transmitting power, modulation identification, and frequency
band information may be required for licensing and are detailed in section 2.2.
