Safety Training Information - Icom IC-M36 Instruction Manual

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 RF exposure limits for "Gen-
eral Population Use". In addition, your Icom radio complies
W ARN ING
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 01-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compli-
ance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Elec-
tromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-2005), IEEE Standard for
Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Elec-
tromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-2002), IEEE Recom-
mended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electro-
magnetic 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 requirements for wireless RF exposure.; Belt Clip
(MB-109), Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack (BP-252) and Alkaline Bat-
tery Case (BP-251).
To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic en-
ergy is within the FCC allowable limits for general popu-
lation use, always adhere to the following guidelines:

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

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 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.
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this
may damaged the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF ex-
posure 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 RF expo-
sure 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-clips which are listed on
p. 28 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC 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.
