This transceiver is intended for use in the operation of commercial 
activities, educational, philanthropic, or ecclesiastical institutions,
and hospitals, clinics, or medical associations.

FCC PART 90 RULES

You must be familiar with Part 90 of FCC Rules before you operate your
transceiver.  The operation instructions in this manual conform to Part
90, but do not cover all items in Part 90.

In part, Part 90 states that:

You must have a valid license before you use the transceiver.

As licensee, you are responsible for proper operation of all transceivers
operating under your license authority.

You can let unlicensed persons operate this transmitter, as long as you
take precautions to prevent unauthorized transmissions.

You must use this transceiver only for the commercial use of your business,
and only when other commercial channels (such as a 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 precautions to prevent harmful interference to
other services operating on the same frequency.

You must not transmit program material of any kind used in connection 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 earthquake, hurricane, flood, or a similar
disaster where normal communication 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 radio interference even when it is 
operating properly.  To determine whether your transceiver is causing the
interference, turn off your transceiver.  If the interference goes away,
your transceiver is causing the interference.  Try to eliminate the 
interference by:

Moving your transceiver away from the receiver

Contacting your local Radio Shack Store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interference, The FCC requires that you stop
using your transceiver.
