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.
