Your Realistic 2-Channel VHF FM Transceiver is a portable, two-way business
radio service transceiver that you can carry almost anywhere.  The 
crystal-controlled circuitry provides accurate and stable channel 
selection.  The transceiver is compact and light, making it an ideal choice
for your business needs.

Your transceiver has the following features:

Factory-Installed Crystals - let you begin using your transceiver on 
                             151.625 MHz as soon as you receive your 
                             license.

Two-Channel Operation - lets you install optional crystals so you can 
                        operate your transceiver on another frequency.

Adjustable Squelch - helps eliminate noise between transmissions.

Built-In Modulation Limiter Circuit - automatically adjusts for a wide 
                                      variety of voice levels to ensure an 
                                      understandable transmission.

Battery Low and Transmit Indicator - indicates the battery condition and 
                                     lights when you transmit or receive.

Removable and Rechargeable Battery Pack - lets you use one battery pack 
                                          while you charge another pack 
                                          (additional packs available).

Supplied Battery Charger - lets you recharge the transceiver's 
                           nickel-cadmium battery pack.

FCC LICENSE REQUIRED

The federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires you to have a license 
before you operate this transceiver.  Unless you qualify to operate on the 
supplied frequency, you must apply for a frequency through NABER, a 
non-profit organization that assigns frequencies nationwide to help prevent
conflicts between different businesses using transceivers in the same area.
For more information contact NABER at 800-759-0300 (in Virginia 
703-739-0300).

For other questions concerning the license application, contact the FCC at 
717-337-1212, or write:

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

FCC REGULATIONS

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 the 
     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 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.
