FCC Licensing Information
The Rino® 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 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 government, is eligible to apply for a GMRS license. To apply for a GMRS license, you need FCC Form 605 (605 Main Form and Schedule F) and FCC Form 159. Download the application forms from the FCC web site at www.fcc .gov/Forms/. You can also request them through the FCC forms hotline at 1-800-418-FORM (1-800-418-3676).
File Form 605 online at http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls/. A filing fee is associated with this application.
For information on fees, go to the FCC fee information web page at http://wireless.fcc.gov/feesforms/index.html or at http://wireless.fcc.gov /services/personal/generalmobile/.
For questions concerning the license application, contact the FCC at 1-888-Call-FCC (1-888-225-5322).
No license is required to operate on GMRS channels in Canada. However, GMRS repeater channels are not approved for use by the Canadian government.
For use in countries outside of the U.S. and Canada, please check with that government for any restrictions of FRS or GMRS use.
