MARITIME RADIO SERVICES OPERATION
You are required to comply with the Rules and Regulations as set forth
by the Federal Communications Commission. A complete set of FCC
Marine Radio Rules may be purchased from the US Government Printing
Office by requesting “Volume IV of the FCC Rules,” Among the more
significant rules are:
1.
You must obtain a Ship’s Station License by making application to
the FCC on FCC Form 506. An Interim Ship’s Station License may
be obtained by personal appearance at your local FCC Field Office.
The Ship's Station License must be posted at the station location.
2.
A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit (or higher grade
license) must also be obtained from the FCC in order to legally
operate your transmitter in international waters. Application is to be
made on FCC Form 753, An interim permit is automatically granted
upon submission of your application.
3.
You must keep a current copy of the appropriate FCC Rules.
4.
You must maintain a log book in which you record all calls and full
transmitter maintenance records.
5.
Your transmitter must be verified, by an appropriately licensed
technician, to be in compliance with FCC requirements. This has
been done at the factory for your LTD 715. A signed Certificate of
Compliance card is included with your radio and should be kept with
your log book.

You may not make transmitter tuning adjustments unless you are
the holder of a valid first or second class commercial license issued
by the FCC. Please request the assistance of your PRESIDENT
Marine Dealer and your nearest FCC Field Office if you need other
than a Ship’s Station License.
__________ CARE AND MAINTENANCE__________
Your LTD 715 is a precision piece of electronic equipment and you
should treat it accordingly. Due to the rugged design, very little
maintenance is required. However, a few precautions should be
observed:
• If your radio has been accidentally subjected to spray or splash, you
should immediately wipe it down with a soft cloth dampened with fresh
water.
• If the antenna has been damaged, you should not transmit except in
case of emergency. A defective antenna may cause damage to your
radio.
• You are responsible for the continued FCC technical compliance of
your radio.
• You are urged to arrange for periodic performance checks with your
PRESIDENT Marine Dealer.
