Sec. 2.927  Limitations on grants.

    (a) A grant of equipment authorization is valid only when the FCC 
Identifier is permanently affixed on the device and remains effective 
until revoked or withdrawn, rescinded, surrendered, or a termination 
date is otherwise established by the Commission.
    (b) A grant of an equipment authorization signifies that the 
Commission has determined that the equipment has been shown to be 
capable of compliance with the applicable technical standards if no 
unauthorized change is made in the equipment and if the equipment is 
properly maintained and operated. The issuance of a grant of equipment 
authorization shall not be construed as a finding by the Commission with 
respect to matters not encompassed by the Commission's rules, especially 
with respect to compliance with 18 U.S.C. 2512.
    (c) No person shall, in any advertising matter, brochure, etc., use 
or make reference to an equipment authorization in a deceptive or 
misleading manner or convey the impression that such equipment 
authorization reflects more than a Commission determination that the 
device or product has been shown to be capable of compliance with the 
applicable technical standards of the Commission's rules.
