Your Icom radio generates
RF electromagnetic energy
while transmitting. This radio
is designed for and classified
as for “Occupational Use
Only.” This means 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 and IC
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 KDB Publication 447498 D03,
Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines
for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields.
•American National Standards Institute
(C95.1-2019), IEEE Standard for Safety
Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to
Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields,
0 Hz to 300 GHz.
•American National Standards Institute (C95.3-
2002), IEEE Recommended Practice for
the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous
Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.
•The accessories listed on page 70 are
authorized for use with this product. Use of
accessories other than those specified may
result in RF exposure levels exceeding the
FCC and IC requirements for wireless RF
exposure.
•Health Canada Safety Code 6 - Limits of
Human Exposure to Electromagnetic Energy
in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to
300 GHz.
To ensure that your expose
to RF electromagnetic
energy is within the FCC
and IC allowable limits for
occupational use, always
adhere to the following
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 and IC 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
the total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”).
Transmitting more than 50% of the time can
cause FCC and IC RF exposure compliance
requirements to be exceeded. The radio is
transmitting when “TX” is displayed on the
function display. You can cause the radio to
transmit by pushing 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 70 when attaching the
radio to your belt, or other place, to ensure
FCC and IC RF exposure compliance
requirements are not exceeded.
The information listed above provides the
user with the information needed to make
him or her aware of RF exposure, and what
to do to assure that this radio operates
within the FCC and IC RF exposure limits
of this radio.
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.
Occupational/Controlled Use
The radio transmitter is used in situations
in which persons are exposed as a
consequence of their employment,
provided those persons are fully aware of
the potential for exposure and can exercise
control over their exposure.
