Your Icom radio generates RF electromagneticenergy during transmit mode. This radio is de-signed for and classified as “Occupational UseOnly”, meaning it must be used only during thecourse of employment by individuals aware of thehazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards.radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Popula-” in an uncontrolled environment.radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF expo-limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, your Icom radioplies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard toenergy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation oflevels for exposure to humans:FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, EvaluatingCompliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to RadioFrequency Electromagnetic Fields.American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Stan-dard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to RadioFrequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Rec-ommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially HazardousElectromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.To ensure that your exposure to RF electromag-netic energy is within the FCC allowable limits foroccupational use, always adhere to the followingguidelines:DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, asthis may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCCRF exposure limits.
