Introduction

FCC Licensing Information

The Rino 130 two-way radio operates on General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) frequencies

regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States. Operation
on the GMRS frequencies is subject to additional rules as specified in 47 CFR Part 95.

In order to transmit on GMRS frequencies, you are required to obtain a license from the

FCC. An individual 18 years of age or older, who is not a representative of a foreign govern-
ment, is eligible to apply for a GMRS license. To apply for a GMRS license, you will need
FCC Form 605 (605 Main Form and Schedule F) and FCC Form 159. You can download the
application forms from the FCC web site at http://www.fcc.gov/Forms/. You can also request
them through the FCC forms hotline at 1-800-418-FORM (1-800-418-3676). You can file
Form 605 online at http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls/. A filing fee, which may change from time to time,
is associated with this application. For information on fees, see the FCC fee information web
page at http://wireless.fcc.gov/feesforms/index.html. General information may be found at http:
//wireless.fcc.gov/services/personal/generalmobile/.

GMRS is not currently approved for use in Canada and some usage restrictions may apply

for use inside the U.S. near the Canadian border. For use in countries outside of the U.S.,
please check with that government for any restrictions of FRS or GMRS use.

For questions concerning the license application, contact the FCC at 1-888-Call-FCC (1-
