G INFORMATION

• 

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 manufacturer or antenna specifically 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
RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is
transmitting when the “TX indicator” lights red. 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-clip which is listed
on page 38 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC
RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide
the recipients of your transmission 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  information
needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to as-
sure that this radio operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can pos-
sibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such in-
terference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so.

DO NOT

operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electro-

magnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

Occupational/Controlled Use

The radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are exposed
as consequence of their employment provided those persons are fully
aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their
exposure.
