9 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as "Occupational Use To ensure that your expose to RF electromag- 1 netic energy is within the FCC and IC allowa- ble limits for occupational use, always adhere 2 Only", meaning it must be used only during the W ARN ING 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. to the following guidelines: C AU TIO N 3 • DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna at- 4 tached, as this may damaged the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC and IC RF exposure limits.
