RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE AND CONTROL GUIDELINES
AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/
controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following
procedures.
Guidelines:
Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.•
User awareness instructions must accompany device when •
transferred to other users. Do not use this device if the operational
requirements described herein are not met.
Operating Instructions:
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To
transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls,
release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important
because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when
transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the •
microphone (and the other parts of the radio, including the
antenna) at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the nose. Keeping
the radio at the proper distance is important because RF
exposures decrease with distance from the antenna. Antenna
should be kept away from eyes.
When worn on the body, always place the radio in a BK Radio •
approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this
product. Using approved body-worn accessories is important
because the use of BK Radio or other manufacturer’s non-
approved accessories may result in exposure levels which
exceed the FCC’s occupational/controlled environment RF
exposure limits.
If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using •
the radio in the intended use position in front of the face, then
ensure the antenna and the radio are kept at least one inch (2.5
cm) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at the
proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease
with increasing distance from the antenna.
Use only BK Radio approved supplied or replacement antennas, •
batteries, and accessories. Use of non-BK Radio approved
antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed the FCC RF
exposure guidelines.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION REGULATIONS
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy
exposure limits for portable 2-way radios before they can be marketed in
the U.S. When 2-way radios are used as a consequence of employment,
the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their
exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can
be facilitated by the use of a product label directing users to specifi c user
awareness information. Your BK Radio 2-way radio has a RF exposure
product label. Also, your BK Radio owner’s and service manuals include
information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure
and to satisfy compliance requirements.
COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS
Your BK Radio 2-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number
of national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) for
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio
complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/
controlled RF exposure environment at operating duty factors of up to
50% transmitting and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use only.
In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure
guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it
is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in
Standby Mode. Note: The approved batteries supplied with this radio are
rated for a 5-5-90 duty factor (5% talk - 5% listen - 90% standby), even
though this radio complies with the FCC occupational RF exposure limits
and may operate at duty factors of up to 50% talk.
Your BK Radio 2-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure
standards and guidelines:

Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091 and
2.1093
