W AR N IN GYour Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic en-ergy during transmit mode. This radio is designedfor and classified as “Occupational Use Only”,meaning it must be used only during the courseof employment by individuals aware of the haz-ards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. Thisradio is NOT intended for use by the “GeneralPopulation” in an uncontrolled environment.• For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure Re-quirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply withthe following two conditions:1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.2. IC-F5061/F5061D:The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle andkept 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 onthe roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle inorder to achieve 48 centimeters separation distance. In order toensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna mustbe mounted at least 48 centimeters away from the nearest edgeof the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.2. IC-F6061/F6061D:The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle andkept 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 onthe roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle inorder to achieve 38 centimeters separation distance. In order toensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna mustbe mounted at least 38 centimeters away from the nearest edgeof the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.C AU TIO NTo 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,as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceedFCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna suppliedwith this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically au-thorized 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 RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. Theradio is transmitting when the “TX indicator” lights red. You cancause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityDuring transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that canpossibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoidsuch interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are postedto do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitiveto electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blastingsites.194 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
