SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

WARNING

Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy dur-

ing transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classiﬁed

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 hazards. This radio

is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an

uncontrolled environment.

This radio has been evaluated for compliance at the distance of 2.5 cm with

the FCC 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:

•

F

CC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Com-

pliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency

Electromagnetic Fields.

•

A

merican 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.

•

A

merican National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recom-

mended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electro-

magnetic 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 exposure lev-

els exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.; Belt

Clip (MB-94/96F) and Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack (BP-230N/

232N).

To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic en-

ergy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational

use, always adhere to the following guidelines:

•

D

O NOT

operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this

may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF ex-

posure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio

by the manufacturer or antenna speciﬁcally authorized by the manufac-

turer 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 ex-

posure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmit-

ting when “

” appears on the function display. You can cause the

radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.

•

ALWAYS

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 38 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC 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 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.

WARNING! NEVER

operate the transceiver with a

headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.

Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume op-

eration. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the

volume level or discontinue use.

NEVER

short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, cur-

rent may ﬂow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace,

etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing

near metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc.

NEVER

use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers to prevent

the loss of the transceiver’s good performance and warranty.

DO NOT

allow children to play with any radio equipment

containing a transmitter.

DO NOT

operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-

cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

DO NOT

using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight

or in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above

+60°C (+140°F).

KEEP

the transceiver away from the heavy rain, and

NEVER

immerse it in the water. The transceiver construc-

tion is water resistant, not waterproof.
