Icom IC-F3210D Instruction Manual page 47

• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna at-
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.
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time
("50% duty cycle"). "50% duty cycle" is also applicable to
VOX/PTT mode. Transmitting more than 50% of the time can
cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be
exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the "LED indicator"
lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing
the "PTT" switch or VOX function.
• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away
from the body when transmitting and only use the Icom belt-
clip which is listed on page 33 when attaching the radio
to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC 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.
The information listed above provides the user with the information need-
ed 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.
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 electro-
magnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, 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.
