Safety Training Information; Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility; Occupational/Controlled Use - Icom IC-705 Basic Manual

Your Icom radio generates RF
electromagnetic energy while
transmitting. This radio is designed
for and classified as for "Occupational
Use Only." This means it must be
W A R N I N G
used only during the course of
employment by individuals aware of the hazards,
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 and IC
RF exposure limits for "Occupational Use Only". In
addition, your Icom radio complies with the following
Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy
and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of
such levels for exposure to humans:
• FCC KDB Publication 447498 D03, Evaluating
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic
Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-
2010), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with
Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-
2002), IEEE Recommended Practice for
the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous
Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.
• The accessories listed on page 12-1 are
authorized for use with this product. Use of
accessories other than those specified may
result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC
requirements for wireless RF exposure.
• Health Canada Safety Code 6 - Limits of Human
Exposure to Electromagnetic Energy in the
Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

To ensure that your expose to RF
electromagnetic energy is within the
FCC allowable limits for occupational
use, always adhere to the following
guidelines:
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper
antenna attached, as this may damage the radio
and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF
exposure limits. A proper antenna is an antenna
specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use
with this radio.
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of the total
radio use time ("50% duty cycle"). Transmitting
more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF
exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
The radio is transmitting when the TX/RX indicator
lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by
pushing the [PTT] switch or the VOX function.
• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm
(1 inch) away from the body when transmitting,
and only use the LC-192 multi-bag when
attaching the radio to your body, to ensure FCC
and IC RF exposure compliance requirements are
not exceeded.
The information listed above provides the user with
the information needed to make him or her aware
of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this
radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of
this radio.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

During transmissions, your Icom radio generates
RF energy that can possibly cause 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 operate the transmitter in areas that
are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as
hospitals and blasting sites.

Occupational/Controlled Use

The radio transmitter is used in situations in which
persons are exposed as consequence of their
employment provided those persons are fully aware
of the potential for exposure and can exercise control
over their exposure.
