Safety Training Information - Icom IC-F70DT Instruction Manual

Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic
energy during transmit mode. This radio is de-
signed for and classified as "Occupational Use
Only", meaning it must be used only during the
course of employment by individuals aware of
W ARN ING
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 RF
exposure limits for "Occupational Use Only". In addition, your
Icom radio complies with the following Standards and Guide-
lines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy
levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evalu-
ating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Expo-
sure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992),
IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3
kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992),
IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of
Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields– RF and
Microwave.
• The accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker-
microphone, etc. that is listed on Pages 27–28) are autho-
rized for use with this product. Use of accessories other
than those specified may result in RF exposure levels ex-
ceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.

• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna at-
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use
• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away
The information listed above provides the user with the in-
formation needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure,
and what to do to assure that this radio operates with the
FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.
To ensure that your expose to RF electro-
magnetic energy is within the FCC allowable
limits for occupational use, always adhere
to the following guidelines:
tached, as this may damaged the radio and may also
cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper
antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the
manufacturer or antenna specifically authorized by the
manufacturer for use with this radio.
time ("50% duty cycle"). Transmitting more than 50% of
the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance re-
quirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting
when the TX indicator lights red. You can cause the radio
to transmit by pressing the "PTT" switch or VOX function.
from the body when transmitting and only use the Icom
belt-clips listed on page 27 when attaching the radio to
your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipi-
ents of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the
antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and
slightly off to one side.
