ivCAUTIONTo ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic en-ergy is within the FCC allowable limits, always adhere tothe following guidelines:• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna at-tached, as this may damage the radio and may also causeyou to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna isthe antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer oran antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer foruse with 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” appears. You can cause the radio to transmit by press-ing the “PTT” switch.• ALWAYS use Icom authorized accessories (antennas, bat-teries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc.). Use of unauthorizedaccessories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliancerequirements to be exceeded.• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) awayfrom the body when transmitting, and only use the Icombelt-clips which are listed in this manual when attaching theradio to your belt, etc. To provide the recipients of yourtransmission the best sound quality, hold the transceiver atleast 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and turned slightlyto one side.The information listed above provides the user with the infor-mation needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure,and what to do to assure that this radio operates within theFCC RF exposure limits of this radio.Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityDuring transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energythat can possibly cause interference with other devices orsystems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio inareas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate thetransmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic ra-diation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
