ORDER
Adopted:  May 2, 2018 Released:  May 2, 2018
By the Acting Deputy Chief, Enforcement Bureau:
1. The Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) of the Federal Communications Commission has 
entered into a Consent Decree to resolve its investigation into whether Optec Displays, Inc. (Optec) 
marketed LED signs used in digital billboards and other commercial and industrial applications without 
the required equipment authorization, labeling, and user manual disclosures in violation of the 
Commission’s rules.  These rules ensure that radio-frequency devices marketed in the United States do 
not interfere with authorized communications, thereby maintaining network integrity and security and 
protecting consumers.  To settle this matter, Optec admits that it marketed LED signs without the required 
equipment authorization, labeling, and user manual disclosures, will implement a compliance plan, and 
will pay a $54,000 civil penalty.
2. After reviewing the terms of the Consent Decree and evaluating the facts before us, we 
find that the public interest would be served by adopting the Consent Decree and terminating the 
referenced investigation regarding Optec’s compliance with the equipment authorization, labeling, and 
user manual disclosure rules in effect at the time of the violations, Section 302(b) of the Communications 
Act of 1934, as amended (Act)

, and Sections 2.803, 2.955, 15.19, 15.21, 15.101, and 15.105 of the 
Commission’s rules.

3. In the absence of material new evidence relating to this matter, we do not set for hearing 
the question of Optec’s basic qualifications to hold or obtain any Commission license or authorization.

4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 4(i) of the Act
4
 and the 
authority delegated by Sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the Rules,

 the attached Consent Decree IS 
ADOPTED and its terms incorporated by reference.

II. BACKGROUND
3. Section 302 of the Act authorizes the Commission to promulgate reasonable regulations 
to minimize harmful interference by equipment that emits radio frequency energy.
7
  Specifically, 
Section 302(b) of the Act provides that “[n]o person shall manufacture, import, sell, offer for sale, or ship 
devices or home electronic equipment and systems, or use devices, which fail to comply with regulations 
promulgated pursuant to this section.”
8
  The purpose of Section 302 of the Act is to ensure that radio 
transmitters and other electronic devices meet certain standards to control interference before they reach 
the market.
4. The Commission carries out its responsibilities under Section 302 of the Act in two ways.  
First, the Commission establishes technical requirements for transmitters and other equipment to 
minimize their potential for causing interference to authorized radio services.  Second, the Commission 
administers an equipment authorization program to ensure that equipment reaching the market in the 
United States complies with the technical and administrative requirements set forth in the Rules.  The 
equipment authorization program requires, among other things, that radio frequency devices must be 
tested for compliance with the applicable technical requirements prior to marketing.
9
  In that regard, 
Section 2.803(b) of the Rules prohibits the marketing of radio frequency devices unless the device has

first been properly authorized, identified, and labeled in accordance with the Rules, with limited 
exceptions.

5. Optec is a privately held corporation that designs, manufactures, imports, advertises, and 
sells fully assembled LED signs.  On June 27, 2017, after reviewing a complaint, the Bureau’s Spectrum 
Enforcement Division issued a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) to Optec, directing it to submit a sworn written 
response to a series of questions relating to its marketing of LED signs in the United States.
11
  The 
investigation revealed that Optec violated the Equipment Marketing and Authorization Rules by 
marketing an LED sign without the required equipment authorization and test records, and by marketing 
other LED models that lacked the proper labeling and user manual disclosures.
12
  Immediately after 
receiving the LOI, Optec began the process of bringing its LED signs into compliance with the 
Commission’s rules.  Optec subsequently resolved all matters relating to its noncompliance with the 
relevant Equipment Authorization and Marketing Rules concerning the LED signs at issue.

9. Effective Date; Violations.  The Parties agree that this Consent Decree shall become 
effective on the Effective Date as defined herein.  As of the Effective Date, the Parties agree that this 
Consent Decree shall have the same force and effect as any other order of the Commission.  
10. Termination of Investigation.  In express reliance on the covenants and representations 
in this Consent Decree and to avoid further expenditure of public resources, the Bureau agrees to 
terminate the Investigation.  In consideration for the termination of the Investigation, Optec agrees to the 
terms, conditions, and procedures contained herein.  The Bureau further agrees that, in the absence of new 
material evidence, it will not use the facts developed in the Investigation through the Effective Date, or 
the existence of this Consent Decree, to institute, on its own motion, any new proceeding, formal or

18. Event of Default.  Optec agrees that an Event of Default shall occur upon the failure by 
Optec to pay the full amount of any Installment Payment on or before the due date specified in this 
Consent Decree.
19. Interest, Charges for Collection, and Acceleration of Maturity Date.  After an Event 
of Default has occurred under this Consent Decree, the then unpaid amount of the civil penalty shall 
accrue interest, computed using the U.S. Prime Rate in effect on the date of the Event of Default plus 4.75 
percent, from the date of the Event of Default until payment in full.  Upon an Event of Default, the then 
unpaid amount of the civil penalty, together with interest, any penalties permitted and/or required by the 
law, including but not limited to 31 U.S.C. § 3717 and administrative charges, plus the costs of collection, 
litigation, and attorneys’ fees, shall become immediately due and payable, without notice, presentment, 
demand, protest, or notice of protest of any kind, all of which are waived by Optec.   
20. Waivers.  As of the Effective Date, Optec waives any and all rights it may have to seek 
administrative or judicial reconsideration, review, appeal or stay, or to otherwise challenge or contest the 
validity of this Consent Decree and the Adopting Order.  Optec shall retain the right to challenge 
Commission interpretation of the Consent Decree or any terms contained herein.  If either Party (or the 
United States on behalf of the Commission) brings a judicial action to enforce the terms of the Consent 
Decree or the Adopting Order, neither Optec nor the Commission shall contest the validity of the Consent 
Decree or the Adopting Order, and Optec shall waive any statutory right to a trial de novo.  Optec hereby 
agrees to waive any claims it may otherwise have under the Equal Access to Justice Act
20
 relating to the 
matters addressed in this Consent Decree.
21. Severability.  The Parties agree that if any of the provisions of the Consent Decree shall 
be held unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such unenforceability shall not render 
unenforceable the entire Consent Decree, but rather the entire Consent Decree shall be construed as if not 
containing the particular unenforceable provision or provisions, and the rights and obligations of the 
Parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly.
22. Invalidity.  In the event that this Consent Decree in its entirety is rendered invalid by any 
court of competent jurisdiction, it shall become null and void and may not be used in any manner in any 
legal proceeding.
23. Subsequent Rule or Order.  The Parties agree that if any provision of the Consent 
Decree conflicts with any subsequent Rule or Order adopted by the Commission (except an Order 
specifically intended to revise the terms of this Consent Decree to which Optec does not expressly 
consent) that provision will be superseded by such Rule or Order.
24. Successors and Assigns.  Optec agrees that the provisions of this Consent Decree shall 
be binding on its successors, assigns, and transferees.
25. Final Settlement.  The Parties agree and acknowledge that this Consent Decree shall 
constitute a final settlement between the Parties with respect to the Investigation.  
26. Modifications.  This Consent Decree cannot be modified without the advance written 
consent of both Parties.
27. Paragraph Headings.  The headings of the paragraphs in this Consent Decree are 
inserted for convenience only and are not intended to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Consent 
Decree.
28. Authorized Representative.  Each Party represents and warrants to the other that it has 
full power and authority to enter into this Consent Decree.  Each person signing this Consent Decree on
