USING YOUR BFDX PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIO.

Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards

The two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international
standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty cycles of up to 50% talk-50% listen and
should be used 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.
The approved batteries supplied with this radio are rated for a 5-5-90 duty cycle (5% talk-5%
Note:
listen-90% standby), even though this radio complies with the FCC occupational RF exposure
limits at duty cycles of up to 50% talk.
Complies with the following of RF energy
exposure standards and guidelines:
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part
2 sub-part J
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95. 1-1992
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1999 Edition International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
Operational Instructions
To ensure optimal performance and compliance with the occupational/controlled environment RF
energy exposure limits in the above standards and guidelines, users should transmit no more than
50% of the time and always adhere to the following procedures:
Hand-held radio operation
Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone 5 cm away from the lips and let
the antenna farther away from your head.
