RADIO OPERATOR WARNING
Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy dur-
ing transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as
"General Population Use" in an uncontrolled environment.
This radio has been evaluated for compliance at the distance
of 2.5 cm (1 inch) with the FCC and IC RF exposure limits for
"General Population Use." 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:
ance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields.
for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
mended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electro-
magnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.
accessories other than those specified may result in RF exposure levels
exceeding the FCC and IC
To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy
is within the FCC and IC allowable limits for general popu-
lation use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
iii
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this
may damaged the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC and
IC 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"). 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 "transmit indicator" appears on the LCD. You can
cause the radio to transmit by pressing the "PTT" switch.
-
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
43 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC and IC RF
exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the re-
cipients 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 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.
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, aircraft, and blasting sites.
