2911SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATIONYour 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.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 RF ex-posure limits for “Occupational Use Only”. In addition, your Icomradio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines withregard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels andevaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluat-ing Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposureto Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEEStandard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Expo-sure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to300 GHz.• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEERecommended Practice for the Measurement of PotentiallyHazardous Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.• The following accessories are authorized for use with thisproduct. Use of accessories other than those specifiedmay result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC re-quirements for wireless RF exposure.; Belt Clip (MB-94),Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack (BP-230N/BP-232N) andSpeaker-microphone (HM-131L).To ensure that your expose to RF electromag-netic energy is within the FCC allowable limitsfor occupational use, always adhere to the fol-lowing guidelines:• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna at-tached, as this may damaged the radio and may also causeyou to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna isthe antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer orantenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for usewith this radio.• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time(“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the timecan cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements tobe exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the TX indica-tor lights. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressingthe “PTT” switch.• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) awayfrom the body when transmitting and only use the Icom belt-clips listed on page 25 when attaching the radio to your belt,etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirementsare not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your trans-mission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side.The information listed above provides the user with the infor-mation needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, andwhat to do to assure that this radio operates with the FCC RFexposure limits of this radio.C AU TIO NW AR N IN G
