§ 15.216 Disclosure requirements for wireless microphones and other low
power auxiliary stations capable of operating in the core TV bands.
(a) Any person who manufactures, sells, leases, or offers for sale or
lease, low power auxiliary stations capable of operating in the core TV
bands (channels 2-51, excluding channel 37) is subject to the following
disclosure requirements: (1) Such persons must display the consumer
disclosure text, as specified by the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau
and the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, at the point of sale
or lease of each such low power auxiliary station. The text must be
displayed in a clear, conspicuous, and readily legible manner. One way
to fulfill the requirement in this section is to display the consumer
disclosure text in a prominent manner on the product box by using a
label (either printed onto the box or otherwise affixed to the box), a
sticker, or other means. Another way to fulfill this requirement is to
display the text immediately adjacent to each low power auxiliary
station offered for sale or lease and clearly associated with the model
to which it pertains.
(2) If such persons offer such low power auxiliary stations via direct
mail, catalog, or electronic means, they shall prominently display the
consumer disclosure text in close proximity to the images and
descriptions of each such low power auxiliary station. The text should
be in a size large enough to be clear, conspicuous, and readily
legible, consistent with the dimensions of the advertisement or
description.
(3) If such persons have Web sites pertaining to these low power
auxiliary stations, the consumer disclosure text must be displayed
there in a clear, conspicuous, and readily legible manner (even in the
event such persons do not sell low power auxiliary stations directly to
the public).
(b) The consumer disclosure text described in paragraph (a)(1) of this
section is set out in an appendix to this section.

Most users do not need a license to operate this wireless microphone
system. Nevertheless, operating this microphone system without a
license is subject to certain restrictions: The system may not cause
harmful interference; it must operate at a low power level (not in
excess of 50 milliwatts); and it has no protection from interference
received from any other device. Purchasers should also be aware that
the FCC is currently evaluating use of wireless microphone systems, and
these rules are subject to change. For more information, call the FCC
at 1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) or visit the FCC's wireless
microphone Web site at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones.
