SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
Your Icom radio generates RF electro-
magnetic 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 Popula-
tion” in an uncontrolled environment.
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC
and IC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only”.
In addition, your Icom radio complies with the follow-
ing 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 Electromag-
netic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992),
IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromag-
netic 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.
To ensure that your expose to RF elec-
tromagnetic energy is within the FCC
and IC allowable limits for occupation-
al use, always adhere to the following
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 and IC RF exposure
limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with
this radio by the manufacturer or antenna specifi-
cally 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 and IC RF expo-sure
compliance requirements to be exceeded.
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 sen-
sitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals,
aircraft, and blasting sites.
Occupational/Controlled Use
The radio transmitter is used in situations in which per-
sons are exposed as consequence of their employment
provided those persons are fully aware of the potential
for exposure and can exercise control over their expo-
sure.

• FOR CLASS A UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. Operation of this equipment in a residential area
is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his
own expense.
