SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy
during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and clas-
sified as “Occupational Use Only”, meaning it must be
used only during the course of employment by individuals
aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such haz-
ards. 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 RF exposure lim-
its 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 OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Com-
pliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Fre-
quency Electromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard
for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Fre-
quency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recom-
mended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Elec-
tromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.
• The following accessories are authorized for use with this product.
Use of accessories other than those specified may result in RF ex-
posure levels exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF ex-
posure.; Belt Clip (MB-94), Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack
(BP-231) and Speaker-microphone (HM-131L).
To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic
energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupa-
tional use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
CAUTION
WARNING
• 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 authorized 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 “Transmit 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 33 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC
RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide
the recipients 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 as-
sure 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 pos-
sibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such in-
terference, 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.
