FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 
REGULATIONS 

The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF 
energy exposure limits for mobile 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 specific user awareness information.  Your BK Radio 2-way 
radio has an 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% talk-50% listen 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 antenna 
radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during 
talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in Standby Mode.  

Your BK Radio 2-way radio complies with the following RF energy 
exposure standards and guidelines: 

 

United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of 
Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091 and 
2.1093

BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT WITH OVERRIDE 

This mode operates in the same manner as Busy 
Channel Lockout except that the user can override and 
transmit by pressing the CG button to disable receive 
Channel Guard (an arrow will appear over the button). 
The transmitter is locked out only if the CG button is off 
(no arrow above the CG button). 

ALPHANUMERIC DISPLAY  

The Alphanumeric Display can be programmed to 
operate in Numeric Mode, displaying channel numbers 
instead of labels.  

Display annunciators indicate the following information:
