IMPORTANT NOTICE, FCC LICENSE REQUIRED FOR GMRS OPERATION

The GXT600/635/650/656 Series operates on GMRS (General Mobile Radio
Service) frequencies which require an FCC (Federal Communications
Commission) license. You must be licensed prior to operating on channels 1 - 7
or 15 - 22, which comprise the GMRS channels of the GXT600/635/650/656
Series. Serious penalties could result for unlicensed use of GMRS channels, in
violation of FCC rules, as stipulated in the Communications Act's Sections 501
and 502 (amended).

You will be issued a call sign by the FCC which should be used for station
identification when operating the radio on GMRS channels. You should also
cooperate by engaging in permissible transmissions only, avoiding channel
interference with other GMRS users, and being prudent with the length of their
transmission time.

To obtain a license or ask questions about the license application, contact the
FCC at 1-888-CALL FCC or go to  the FCC's website:
www.fcc.gov/services/personal/generalmobile/licensing.html
