iSAFETY TRAINING INFORMATIONYour Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy dur-ing transmit mode.This radio has been evaluated for compliance at the dis-tance of 2.5 cm (1 inch) with the FCC RF exposure limitsfor “Occupational Use Only”. In addition, your Icom radiocomplies 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, Evaluating Compli-ance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio FrequencyElectromagnetic Fields.• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standardfor Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio FrequencyElectromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recom-mended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electro-magnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.• The following accessories are authorized for use with this product. Use ofaccessories other than those specified may result in RF exposure levelsexceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.; Belt Clip(MB-86/103), Rechargeable Ni-Cd Battery Pack (BP-224, BP-225), Li-ionBattery Pack (BP-252) and Alkaline Battery Case (BP-223).To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic en-ergy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupationaluse, always adhere to the following guidelines:• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as thismay damaged the radio and may to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. Aproper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufac-turer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for usewith this radio.• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% dutycycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF expo-sure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmittingwhen the “transmit/receive indicator” lights red. You can cause the radioto transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the bodywhen transmitting and only use the Icom belt-clips which are listed onp. 33 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RFexposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide therecipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the radio inan almost vertical position at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, themicrophone is located next to the speaker, so you shoud “talk into thespeaker”.The information listed above provides the user with the information neededto make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that thisradio operates within FCC RF exposure limits.Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityDuring transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can possiblycause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference,turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operatethe transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such ashospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.C AU TIO NW AR N IN G
