W ARNING
Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic
energy during transmit mode. This radio is de-
signed for and classified as “Occupational Use
Only”, meaning it must be used only during the
course of employment by individuals aware of the
hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards.
This radio is NOT intended for use by the “Gen-
eral Population” in an uncontrolled environment.
• For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure Re-
quirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with
the following two conditions:
1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.
2. IC-F121:
The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and
kept at a distance of 1 meter or more between the transmitting
antenna of this device and any persons during operation. For
small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be located on the
roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle in order
to achieve 1 meter separation distance. In order to ensure this
distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted
at least 1 meter away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in
order to protect against exposure to bystanders.
3. IC-F221:
The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and
kept at a distance of 79 centimeters or more between the trans-
mitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation.
For small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be located on
the roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle in
order to achieve 79 centimeters separation distance. In order to
ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must
be mounted at least 79 centimeters away from the nearest edge
of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.
CAU TION
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromag-
netic energy is within the FCC allowable limits
for occupational use, always adhere to the fol-
lowing guidelines:
•
DO NOT
operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as
this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC
RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with
this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized
by the manufacturer for use with this radio.
•
DO NOT
transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50%
duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC
RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio
is transmitting when the “TX indicator” lights red. You can cause the
radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can
possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid
such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted
to do so.
DO NOT
operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive
to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting
sites.
