Overall, Part 90 states that:
• You must have a valid license
before you use the trans-
ceiver.
• As licensee, you are respon-
sible for proper operation of
all transceivers operating
under your license authority.
• You can let unlicensed per-
sons operate this transmitter,
as long as you take precau-
tions to prevent unauthorized
transmissions.
• You must use this transceiver
only for the commercial use
of your business, and only
when other commercial chan-
nels (such as the telephone)
are either not available or not
practical.
• You must always yield the
operating frequency to com-
munications that involve the
safety of life or property.
• You must take reasonable
precautions to prevent harm-
ful interference to other ser-
vices operating on the same
frequency.
• You must not transmit pro-
gram material of any kind
used in connection with com-
mercial broadcasting.
• You must not provide a ser-
vice that is normally handled
by telephone or telegraph
unless such broadcasts
involve the safety of life or
property or in emergencies
such as an earthquake, hur-
ricane, flood or a similar
disaster where normal com-
munication channels are dis-
rupted.
• During each transmission or
exchange of transmissions,
you must identify your sta-
tion with the call sign issued
to you by the FCC, or once
each 15 minutes during peri-
ods of continuous operation.
• You must keep a written
record of any maintenance
or modification made to the
transceiver, and you must
make this record available
for inspection upon demand
by the FCC.
Violating any of the provisions of
Part 90 can result in fines and/or
confiscation of equipment.
