SCAN LIST CLONING
When a master radio downloads to a clone,
the Scan List is also transferred. See page 18
in this manual for selecting the Scan List.
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
BK Radio battery packs are available in a variety of sizes and types for
special applications. Rechargeable battery packs can be charged
separately or while attached to a radio.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
1. Locate the center hub on the radio base
and place it in the recess of the battery
pack.
2. Position the battery pack at the 30° offset,
seating the two metal studs in their recess.
3. Apply upward pressure to the pack while
twisting the pack to its original position.
The metal tab will click, locking the pack in
position.
REMOVING THE BATTERY
1. Turn the radio off.
2. Push up the metal tab on the side of the
case while twisting the battery pack
approximately 30°.
3. Remove battery pack from the radio.
NOTE: Periodically check the contacts
on the battery pack for dirt that
could prevent a good electrical
contact with the charging base.
WARNING: Explosion Hazard
Do not dispose a battery pack into a fire.
An explosion may occur.

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.
