259 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATIONW AR N IN GYour Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic ener-gy during transmit mode. This radio is designed forand classified as “Occupational Use Only”, meaning itmust be used only during the course of employmentby individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways tominimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended foruse by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled environment.This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC and IC RFexposure limits for “Occupational Use Only”. In addition, your Icomradio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with re-gard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluationof such levels 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), IEEEStandard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure toRadio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Rec-ommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazard-ous Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.• The following accessories are authorized for use with this prod-uct. Use of accessories other than those specified may resultin RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC and IC requirementsfor wireless RF exposure.; Belt Clip (MB-93, MB-94/R and MB-96N/F), Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack (BP-232WP) andSpeaker-microphone (HM-158LA/HM-159LA/HM-168LWP).C AU TIO NTo ensure that your expose to RF electromagneticenergy is within the FCC and IC allowable limitsfor occupational use, always adhere to the follow-ing guidelines:• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, asthis may damaged the radio and may also cause you to exceedFCC and IC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antennasupplied 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 causeFCC and IC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceed-ed. The radio is transmitting when the TX indicator lights red. Youcan cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away fromthe body when transmitting and only use the Icom belt-clipslisted on page 23 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., toensure FCC and IC RF exposure compliance requirements arenot exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmission thebest 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 informationneeded to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to doto assure that this radio operates with the FCC and IC RF exposurelimits of this radio.Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityDuring transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that canpossibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid suchinterference, 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 UseThe radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are ex-posed as consequence of their employment provided those personsare fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise controlover their exposure.
