February 24, 2010

TMP Pro customers, the FCC is now requiring that the following information be posted where wireless microphones are sold or leased:

Consumer Alert

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 website at www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones.

In order to make compliance with this new directive as convenient as possible, PAMA (the Professional Audio Manufacturers Alliance) has made a PDF of this notice available and recommends posting it immediately adjacent to applicable wireless products. The PDF can be downloaded here: File
