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 specific 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:
•
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of
Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091 and
2.1093
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
