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.
