Two-Way Radio

Transceiver & Scanner

FCC PART 95E Certified 

FCC ID: WVTWOUXUN21

FCC PART 95 Warning 

This device operates on GMRS (General 
Mobile Radio Service) frequencies, which 
require an FCC (Federal Communications 
Commission) license.  You must be 
licensed prior to transmitting on these 
frequencies.  Serious penalties could 
result for unlicensed use of GMRS 
frequencies 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 frequencies.  You should also 
cooperate by engaging in permissible 
transmissions only, avoiding channel 
interference with other GMRS users, 
and being prudent with the length of 
your 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:  https://www.fcc.gov  and 
request form 605.
