Klein Electronics Agrees to $20K Fine for Violating FCC RF Labeling Rules

Retailer Klein Electronics, a maker of handheld two-way radios and other devices, agreed to pay $20,000 and implement a compliance plan for not following RF labeling rules, said the FCC Enforcement Bureau Wednesday. The rules “help 'ensure”' the devices are operated in a manner that minimizes potential interference to authorized communications,” the bureau said. It investigated after getting a complaint that Klein's devices “did not appear to have an FCC equipment authorization,” the order said. The company didn't comment.
