HARRIS CORPORATION TR-0018-E Manuel D’Utilisation

 

Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in 
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC). As an operator of 
two-way radio equipment, you must be thoroughly familiar 
with the rules that apply to your particular type of radio 
operation. Following these rules will help eliminate 
confusion and will assure the most efficient use of existing 
radio channels.  This will provide a smooth operating radio 
network.   

When using the radio, remember these rules:  

1.  It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or 

emergency message. As the radio operates in much 
the same way as a telephone "party line" when in 
conventional mode, always listen and/or observe the 
absence of the “busy” display (refer to Table 3 – 
Display for display character) to make sure that the 
line is clear before sending any messages. If someone 
is sending an emergency message, such as reporting 
a fire or asking for help in an accident, KEEP OFF 
THE AIR! Emergency calls have priority over all other 
messages. 

2.  Use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by 

Federal Law.  

3.  It is against the law to send false call letters or a false 

distress or emergency message.
