requirement is to display the text immediately adjacent to each
unlicensed wireless microphone offered for sale or lease and clearly
associated with the model to which it pertains.
(2) If such persons offer such unlicensed wireless microphones 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 unlicensed wireless microphone. 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 unlicensed
wireless microphones, 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 unlicensed wireless microphones directly
to the public).

section is set forth as an appendix to this section.
