SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

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 “General Population”
in an uncontrolled environment.
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF ex-
posure limits for “Occupational Use Only”. In addition, your Icom
radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with
regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and
evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluat-
ing Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure
to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE
Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Expo-
sure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to
300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE
Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially
Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.
• The following accessories are authorized for use with this
product. Use of accessories other than those specified
may result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC re-
quirements for wireless RF exposure.; Belt Clip (MB-94),
Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack (BP-230N/BP-232N) and
Speaker-microphone (HM-131SC).
To ensure that your expose to RF electro-
magnetic energy is within the FCC allowable
limits for occupational use, always adhere
to the following guidelines:
•
DO NOT
operate the radio without a proper antenna at-
tached, as this may damaged 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
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 indica-
tor lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by press-
ing the “PTT” switch.
•
ALWAYS keep
the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away
from the body when transmitting and only use the Icom belt-
clips listed on page 26 when attaching the radio to your belt,
etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements
are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your trans-
mission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5
cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side.
The information listed above provides the user with the infor-
mation needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and
what to do to assure that this radio operates with the FCC RF
exposure limits of this radio.
