9 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as "Occupational Use Only," meaning it • DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as 1 this may damaged the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna sup- 2 must be used only during the course of employment W AR N IN G 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. plied with this radio by the manufacturer or antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio. 3 • DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time ("50% duty cycle"). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause 4 This radio has been tested and complies 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 FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The 5 radio is transmitting when the TX indicator lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the "VOX/PTT" switch. 6 RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans: • ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting and only use the Icom belt-clips 7 • 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 listed on page 30 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., 8 to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best 9 sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side. 10 Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can 13 14 RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure; Belt Clip (MB-93, MB-94, MB-96N and MB-96F), possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn OFF the radio in areas where signs are posted 15 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack (BP-232WP), Alkalies Battery Case (BP-240 and BP-261) and Speaker microphone (HM-184). to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites. 16 C AU TIO N To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines: 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. 32
