RADIO OPERATOR WARNING
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 and IC RF exposure limits for
“
General Population Use.
” In addition, your Icom radio complies
with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF
energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of
such levels for exposure to humans:
•FCCOETBulletin65Edition01-01SupplementC,EvaluatingCompli-
ance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields.
•AmericanNationalStandardsInstitute(C95.1-1992),IEEEStandard
for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
ElectromagneticFields,3kHzto300GHz.
•AmericanNationalStandardsInstitute(C95.3-1992),IEEERecom-
mended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electro-
magnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.
•Thefollowingaccessoriesareauthorizedforusewiththisproduct.Useof
accessories other than those specified may result in RF exposure levels
exceeding the FCC
and IC
requirementsforwirelessRFexposure.;Belt
Clip(MB-133).
To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy
is within the FCC
and IC
allowable limits for general popu-
lation use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
•DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this
may damaged the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC
and
IC
RF exposure 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 NOTtransmitformorethan50%oftotalradiousetime(“50%duty
cycle”).Transmittingmorethan50%ofthetimecancauseFCC
and IC
RF exposure 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 clip which is listed on page
30whenattachingtheradiotoyourbelt,etc.,toensureFCC
and IC
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.
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
and IC
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.
