SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

Your  Icom  radio  generates  RF  electromag-
netic energy during transmit mode. This radio is 
designed 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 expo-
sure 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, 

Evaluating 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 
Exposure 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 speci-
fied may result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC 
requirements for wireless RF exposure.; Belt Clip (MB-94), 
Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack (BP-232N) and Speaker-
microphone (HM-131L).

To ensure that your expose 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 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 man-
ufacturer or antenna specifically authorized by the manufac-
turer 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. You can cause the radio to transmit by 
pressing 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 46 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.
