INFORMATION
■ Safety training information (Continued)
To ensure that your expose to RF
electromagnetic energy is within the FCC
allowable limits for occupational use, always
adhere to the following guidelines:
C AU TIO N
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna
attached, as this may damage 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 an antenna specifically authorized by the
manufacturer for use with this radio.
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of the total radio
use time ("50% duty cycle"). Transmitting more than 50%
of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting
when "TX" is displayed on the function display. You can
cause the radio to transmit by pushing 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 page 12 when attaching the
radio to your belt, or other place, to ensure FCC and IC RF
exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded.
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
within 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 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.
