• You must use this transceiver only

for the commercial use of your busi-
ness, and only when other commer-
cial channels (such as the
telephone) are either not available
or not practical.

• You must always yield the operating

frequency to communications that
involve the safety of life or property.

• You must take reasonable precau-

tions to prevent harmful interference
to other services operating on the
same frequency.

• You must not transmit program

material of any kind used in connec-
tion with commercial broadcasting.

• You must not provide a service that

is normally handled by telephone or
telegraph unless such broadcasts
involve the safety of life or property
or in emergencies such as an earth-
quake, hurricane, flood or a similar
disaster where normal communica-
tion channels are disrupted.

• During each transmission or

exchange of transmissions, you
must identify your station with the
call sign issued to you by the FCC,
or once each 15 minutes during
periods 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.

Your transceiver might cause TV or ra-
dio interference even when it is operat-
ing properly. To determine whether your
transceiver is causing the interference,
turn off your transceiver. If the interfer-
ence goes away, your transceiver is
causing it. Try to eliminate the interfer-
ence by:

• Moving your transceiver away from

the receiver

• Contacting your local RadioShack
