This 2-way radio operates on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies which require

an FCC (Federal Communications Commission) license. A user must be licensed prior to

operating on channels 1 through 7 or 15 through 22, which comprise the GMRS channels of

this radio. Serious penalties could result for unlicensed use of GMRS channels, in violation

of FCC rules, as stipulated in the Communication Act’s Sections 501 and 502 (amended).

Licensed users will be issued a call sign by the FCC, which should be used for station

identification when operating this radio. GMRS users should also cooperate by engaging 

in permissible transmissions only, avoiding channel interference with other GMRS users,

and being prudent with the length of their transmission time.

For licensing information and application forms, please call the FCC Hotline at 800-418-FORM.

Request form #159 and form #605. Questions regarding the license application should be

directed to the FCC at 888-CALL-FCC. Additional information is available on the FCC’s

website at www.fcc.gov.
