KNG Mobile Operation
FCC Requirements
Your radio must be properly licensed by the Federal Communications Commission
prior to use. Your BK Radio 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.
NOTICE: Eective January 1, 2013, private land mobile radios operating in the bands
150-174 MHz and 421-470 MHz must restrict eective transmitted bandwidth to 12.5 KHz
(narrowband). Exceptions are allowed for marine and weather bands, and for explicitly-
granted waivers from the FCC.
The KNG radio will operate in wideband mode only if the Tx frequency falls within the
excepted bands, or if the user has selected the "Override Narrowbanding" option. This
option can be legitimately elected only with FCC approval.
Safety Precautions
Do not operate the transmitter in close proximity to blasting •
caps.
Do not operate the transceiver in an explosive atmosphere •
(petroleum fuels, solvents, dust, etc.).
Do not operate the transmitter if a person outside the vehicle •
is less than 6.3 feet (1.92 meters) from the antenna or touching
the antenna.

RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION,
AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE
REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE USING YOUR MOBILE 2-WAY RADIO, READ THE INFORMATION
BELOW WHICH CONTAINS IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SAFE USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION
FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE
National and International Standards
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, but are not limited to, 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.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health and industry work with
organizations to develop standards for exposure to RF energy. These standards
- 4 -
KNG Mobile Operation
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 are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they
meet government established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also
recommend specic 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.
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html
http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html
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 specic 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.
- 5 -
KNG Mobile Operation
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Note: The grantee is not responsible for any changes or modications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance. Such modications could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
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

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
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines
To control exposure to yourself and others and to ensure compliance with the RF
exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
User awareness instructions must accompany device when transferred •
to other users.
Do not use this device if the operational requirements described •
herein are not met.
Operating Instructions:
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk),
push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. The red LED will illuminate when the radio is
transmitting. To receive calls, release the PTT button. The red LED will extinguish
when the radio stops transmitting. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important
because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting
(in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
- 7 -
KNG Mobile Operation
Transmit only when persons around the vehicle are at least 6.3 feet (1.92 meters) away
from the vehicle with a properly installed antenna. This separation distance will ensure
that there is sucient distance from a properly installed (according to installation
instructions) externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure requirements in
the standards listed above.

Code Guard/NAC Operation
Conventional Channels
Code Guard Receive
Analog channels programmed with a receive code guard will be heard only when the
proper carrier frequency and Code Guard value is received. When the transceiver
is in monitor mode, analog and mixed mode receive channels will also unmute even
without the proper Code Guard being received.
Code Guard Transmit
Whenever transmitting on an analog channel, any programmed sub-audible Code
Guard is transmitted. Depending on radio programming, the Code Guard can be the
default tone assigned to the channel or a tone selected from the Code Guard Picklist
(See Pick List Options.)
The frequency must be clear prior to transmitting on a Code Guarded channel. If
the LED Indicator is blinking green do not transmit. Busy Channel Lockout can be
programmed to disallow transmitting while a channel is busy.
Press the PTT switch. 1.
When the transmitter is on, the LED Indicator glows red and TX appears in

KNG Mobile Operation
Talk in a normal voice with the microphone one to two inches from your 2.
mouth.
Release the PTT switch to stop transmitting.3.
Analog Squelch Control
Sub-audible signaling (CTCSS/CDCSS) is used to allow a group of radios to be
selectively called in an analog system. Programming the receive code guard equal to
zero turns o this feature while receiving, and allows for Carrier Squelch operation,
where the radio will unmute whenever a carrier is detected regardless of the
transmitted Code Guard.
APCO Project 25 Digital Squelch Control
Network Access Codes (NACs) provide the digital equivalent of analog sub-audible
signaling (CTCSS/CDCSS), allowing a group of radios to be selectively called within
a system.
Users in the same area (using the same NAC) can be further divided into Talk
Groups, with each group having its own Talk Group ID (TGID). Group Calls are made
by designating both the users’ NAC and TGID.
Each radio also has an individual P25 unit ID. A Unit-to-Unit call contains the
addressee’s NAC, and uses the addressee’s P25 unit ID instead of the TGID.
- 42 -
KNG Mobile Operation
When operating in Digital Mode, each channel can be programmed to use either
Normal squelch or Selective squelch.
Normal squelch is used to mimic analog operation. Signals are only qualied with
the programmed NAC. TGIDs and P25 Unit IDs are ignored. Each digital channel is
programmed with a receive NAC and a transmit NAC. When an incoming signal’s
NAC matches the channel’s programmed receive NAC, the radio unmutes. The
default NAC is 293 (0659 decimal).
The digital equivalent of carrier squelch is achieved by programming the receive
NAC = F7E (3966 decimal). The radio will unmute when a digital signal with any
NAC is detected. The F7E (3966 decimal) NAC is reserved for receivers and is not
allowed as a transmit NAC.
Selective squelch is used for processing Group Calls and Unit-to-Unit Calls. TGIDs
are assigned on a per-channel basis. Users can be separated into Talk Groups
with each group having its own TGID. Then, on channels programmed for Selective
squelch, the incoming signal’s NAC and TGID must match the channels programmed
receive NAC and TGID for the radio to unmute. The default TGID is 1.
The TGID value FFFF (65535 decimal) is used to eect an “All Call”. If the radio
receives a signal with a matching NAC and the TGID = FFFF (65535 decimal), it will
unmute. Also, if the radio’s programmed TGID is FFFF (65535 decimal), it will open
on any signal with a matching NAC, ignoring the incoming TGID. A TGID = 0 means
“no one”. If the radio is programmed with the TGID = 0, it will accept incoming group
calls containing the “All Call” TGID, and correctly addressed Unit-to-Unit calls only.
