Safety Training Information - Icom IC-F3161T Instruction Manual

Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic en-
ergy during transmit mode. This radio is designed
for and classified as "Occupational Use Only",
meaning it must be used only during the course of
employment by individuals aware of the hazards,
W ARN ING
and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio
is NOT intended for use by the "General Popula-
tion" 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 OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluat-
ing Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to
Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE
Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Expo-
sure 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 following accessories are authorized for use with this
product. Use of accessories other than those specified may
result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC and IC re-
quirements for wireless RF exposure; Belt Clip (MB-93, MB-
94, MB-96N and MB-96F), Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack
(BP-232FM) and Speaker-microphone (HM-169IS).

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

C AU TIO N
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna at-
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time
• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away
The information listed above provides the user with the informa-
tion needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what
to do to assure that this radio operates with the FCC and IC RF
exposure limits of this radio.
To ensure that your expose to RF electromag-
netic energy is within the FCC and IC allow-
able 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 and IC RF exposure limits. A proper an-
tenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufac-
turer or antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer
for use with this radio.
("50% duty cycle"). "50% duty cycle" is also applicable to
VOX/PTT mode. Transmitting more than 50% of the time can
cause FCC and IC RF exposure compliance requirements 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 and IC RF exposure compliance
requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipients 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.
