Safety Training Information - Icom IC-F521 Instruction Manual

Your Icom radio generates RF electromag-
netic energy during transmit mode. This
radio is designed for and classified as "Oc-
cupational Use Only", meaning it must be
used only during the course of employ-
W ARN ING
ment by individuals aware of the hazards,
and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is
NOT intended for use by the "General Population" in an
uncontrolled environment.
• For complance wth FCC and Industry Canada RF Expo-
sure Requrements, the transmtter antenna nstallaton
shall comply wth the followng two condtons:
1. The transmtter antenna gan shall not exceed 0 dB.
2. IC-F521:
The transmtter antenna s requred to be located outsde
of a vehcle and kept at a separaton dstance of 63 cen-
tmeters or more between the transmtter antenna of ths
devce and persons durng operaton.
3. IC-F621:
The transmtter antenna s requred to be located outsde
of a vehcle and kept at a separaton dstance of 50 cen-
tmeters or more between the transmtter antenna of ths
devce and persons durng operaton.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

C AU TIO N
• DO NOT operate the rado wthout a proper antenna at-
tached, as ths may damage the rado and may also cause
you to exceed FCC RF exposure lmts. A proper antenna
s the antenna suppled wth ths rado by the manufacturer
or an antenna specfically authorzed by the manufacturer
for use wth ths rado.
• DO NOT transmt for more than 50% of total rado use tme
("50% duty cycle"). Transmttng more than 50% of the tme
can cause FCC RF exposure complance requrements to
be exceeded. The rado s transmttng when the "TX ndca-
tor" lghts red. You can cause the rado to transmt by press-
ng the "PTT" swtch.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Durng transmssons, your Icom rado generates RF energy
that can possbly cause nterference wth other devces or
systems. To avod such nterference, turn off the rado n
areas where sgns are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the
transmtter n areas that are senstve to electromagnetc ra-
daton such as hosptals, arcraft, and blastng stes.
To ensure that your exposure to RF elec-
tromagnetic energy is within the FCC al-
lowable limits for occupational use ,
always adhere to the following guidelines:
