SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic 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 exposure 
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 specified may result in RF 
exposure levels exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF 
exposure.; Belt Clip (MB-98), Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack (BP-
227), Alkaline Battery Case (BP-226) and Speaker-microphone 
(HM-138/HM-168/HM-169/HM-170GP).

To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic 
energy  is  within  the  FCC  allowable  limits  for 
occupational use, always adhere to the following 
guidelines:
