FCC Requirements
Your radio must be properly licensed by the Federal Communications
Commission prior to use. Your BK Technologies dealer can assist you
in meeting these requirements. Your dealer will program each radio with
your authorized frequencies, signaling codes, etc., and will be there to
meet your communications needs as your system expands.
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 BKR5000 2-way
radio has a RF exposure product label. Also, your BK5000 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 BKR5000 2-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a
number of national and international standards and guidelines (listed
