WARNING
Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy
during 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 indi-
viduals 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 OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, 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 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
Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.
• The accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker-micro-
phone, etc. that is listed on pages 32–34) are authorized for use
with this product. Use of accessories other than those specified may
result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC and IC require-
ments for wireless RF exposure.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
• 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 NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50%
duty cycle”). “50% duty cycle” is also applicable to VOX/PTT mode.
Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC and IC RF
exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is
transmitting when the “LED indicator” lights red. You can cause the
radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch or VOX function.
• 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 and IC 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 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 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.
