Duty Cycle requirements
The duty cycle is defined as the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the maximum transmitter “on” time on one
or more carrier frequencies, relative to a one hour period. Where an acknowledgement message is required,
the additional transmitter “on” time shall be included.
There is a 10% duty cycle restriction on 10mW 433.050-434.790 MHz band and 1% on 25mW 868.0-868.6MHz
band in EU member states.
The BIM2G is a RF module intended to be incorporated into a wide variety of applications and finished
products, Radiometrix has no control over the end use of the BIM2G.
Module users should, therefore, ensure that they comply with the stated Duty Cycle requirements of the version
of CEPT/ERC Recommendation 70-03 in place at the time of incorporation of the BIM2G into their product.

Please refer to Appendix A for duty cycle information on 868-870MHz band in which the BiM3G operates.
