RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND
CONTROL INFORMATION, AND OPERATIONAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE
REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE USING YOUR PORTABLE 2-WAY RADIO,
READ THIS IMPORTANT RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND
CONTROL INFORMATION AND
OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH
THE FCC’S RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES.
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled
conditions, where users have full knowledge of their exposure
and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC limits.
This radio device is NOT authorized for general population,
consumer, or any other use.
This 2-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency
(RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users
over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to
send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic
energy; other forms include electric power, radar, sunlight and x-rays.
RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of
electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly can cause
biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can
damage tissues and genetic material. The energy levels associated
with radio waves from portable 2-way radios, when properly used, are
not great enough to cause biological damage.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health and industry work
with organizations to develop standards for exposure to RF energy.
These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both
workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure
levels include substantial margins of protection. All 2-way radios
marketed in North America are designed, manufactured and tested to
ensure they meet government established RF exposure levels. In
addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating
instructions to users of 2-way radios.
These instructions are important because they inform users about RF
energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it
.
Please refer to the following WEBSITES for more information on what
RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure
compliance with established RF exposure limits.

17 BK Radio
OTHER OPERATIONAL FEATURES
The BK Radio KNG Series is based on a microprocessor core that
allows extra features and operational characteristics to be
programmed into the radio. Your dealer can help define the best
operational settings for your system and program them into the radio.
SCAN DELAY
Scan delay lets the radio receive a response to a transmission before
scanning the other channels for activity. If you find that your scanner is
restarting before message replies are received, you can ask your
dealer to increase the scan delay time (0–7.5 seconds).
This timer is also used to allow for Talkback Scan, Mixed Mode
Talkback, and Unit-To-Unit Callback.
HI/LO POWER
Each channel in the radio can be individually programmed to always
transmit in Low-Power Mode, regardless of the position of the radio's
switch (or menu setting). If the programming for the channel allows
high-power transmissions, the power level can be selected with a
switch or the keypad menu.
DTMF ENCODING (Analog Mode Only)
Keypad-equipped radios can be programmed to enable DTMF (Dual
Tone Multiple Frequency) encoding. To send DTMF tones (similar to
the tones used by a standard push-button telephone):
1.
Press and hold the PTT switch.
2.
Press any of the keys on the keypad.
You will hear a sidetone.
