Icom IC-F60 Instruction Manual page 3

• 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 exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied
with this radio by the manufacturer or antenna specifically author-
ized 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.
• 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 vi when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to en-
sure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded.
To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound qual-
ity, 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 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 electro-
magnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, 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.
