SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
W ARNING
Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic en-
ergy 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 uncon-
trolled environment.
• For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure Re
-
quirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with
the following two conditions:
1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.
2. IC-F1721/IC-F1721D/IC-F1821/IC-F1821D:
The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and
kept at a distance of 48 centimeters or more between the trans-
mitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation.
For small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be located on
the roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle in
order to achieve 48 centimeters separation distance. In order to
ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must
be mounted at least 48 centimeters away from the nearest edge
of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.
2. IC-F2721/IC-F2721D/IC-F2821/IC-F2821D:
The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and
kept at a distance of 38 centimeters or more between the trans-
mitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation.
For small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be located on
the roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle in
order to achieve 38 centimeters separation distance. In order to
ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must
be mounted at least 38 centimeters away from the nearest edge
of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.
3. IC-F1721/IC-F1721D/IC-F1821/IC-F1821D:
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the
recommended minimum distance of 100 centimeters away from
the properly installed antenna. This separation distance will en-
sure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed
externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure require-
ments in the applicable RF exposure compliance standards.
3. IC-F2721/IC-F2721D/IC-F2821/IC-F2821D:
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the
recommended minimum distance of 82 centimeters away from
the properly installed antenna. This separation distance will en-
sure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed
externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure require-
ments in the applicable RF exposure compliance standards.
