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 haz-
W ARN ING
ards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This
radio is NOT intended for use by the "General
Population" in an uncontrolled environment.
• For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure Re-
quirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with
the following two conditions:
1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.
2. IC-F9511S/T:
The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and
kept at a distance of 48 centimeters or more between the trans-
mitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation.
For small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be located on
the roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle in
order to achieve 48 centimeters separation distance. In order to
ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be
mounted at least 48 centimeters away from the nearest edge of
the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
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 au-
thorized 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 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.
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.
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromag-
netic energy is within the FCC allowable limits
for occupational use, always adhere to the fol-
lowing guidelines:
