■ Safety training information
Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy while
transmitting. This radio is designed for and classied as for
“Occupational Use Only.” This means it must be used only
during the course of employment 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. This radio has been tested
and complies with the FCC and IC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use
Only”. 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:
• FCC KDB Publication 447498 D03, Evaluating Compliance with FCC
Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic
Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard
for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended
Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic
Fields– RF and Microwave.
• The accessories listed on page i are authorized for use with this product.
Use of accessories other than those specied may result in RF exposure
levels exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.
• Health Canada Safety Code 6 - Limits of Human Exposure to
Electromagnetic Energy in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is
within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always
adhere to the following guidelines:
• 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 specically 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.
