Except for the five (
5
) MURS frequencies listed on page
12
, the FCC
requires the owners of radios operating on these frequencies to obtain a
station license before using them.
The station licensee is responsible for ensuring that transmitter power,
frequency and deviation are within the limits specified by the station license.
The station licensee is also responsible for proper operation and
maintenance of the radio equipment. This includes checking the transmitter
frequency and deviation periodically, using appropriate methods.
To get an FCC license for VHF or UHF frequencies, submit FCC application
Form 601. Your Ritron dealer can help you with this process.

Because your Ritron radio operates on Private Land Mobile frequencies, it
is subject to the Rules and Regulations of the FCC, which requires all
operators of these frequencies to obtain a station license before operating
their equipment. Make application for your FCC license on FCC Forms 601,
Schedules D and H, and Fee Remittance Form 159.
To have forms and instructions faxed to you by the FCC, call the FCC Fax-
On-Demand system at

from your fax machine; request
Document numbers 3000159, 3060001, 3060003, and 3060006.
To have Document numbers 3000159, 3060001, 3060003, and 3060006
mailed to you, call the FCC Forms Hotline at

The FCC (with its action in General Docket
79-144, March 13, 1985) has adopted a
safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by
FCC regulated equipment. Ritron observes
these guidelines and recommends that you
do also:
• DO NOT hold the radio so that the antenna
is very close to or touching exposed parts
of the body, especially the face or eyes,
while transmitting. Keep the radio vertical,
eight inches away while talking into the
front panel.
• DO NOT press the Push-To-Talk except
when you intend to transmit.
• DO NOT operate radio equipment near
electrical blasting caps or in an explosive
atmosphere.
• DO NOT allow children to play with any
radio equipment that contains a
transmitting device.
• Repair of Ritron products should be
performed only by Ritron authorized
personnel.
S e r vi c e
Federal law prohibits you from making any
internal adjustments to the transmitter, and / or
from changing transmit frequencies unless you
are specifically designated by the licensee.
If your radio equipment fails to operate properly,
or you wish to have the radio programmed,
contact your local authorized dealer or Ritron.
