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. ••For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with the following three conditions: 1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi. 2. IC-F5021/IC-F5023H: The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at a distance of 57 centimeters or more between the transmitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation. For small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be located on the roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle in order to achieve 57 centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 57 centimeters away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders. 2. IC-F6021: The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at a distance of 41 centimeters or more between the transmitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation. For small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be located on the roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle in order to achieve 41 centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 41 centimeters away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders. 3. IC-F5021/IC-F5023H: Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum distance of 136 centimeters away from the properly installed antenna. This separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure requirements in the applicable RF exposure compliance standards. 3. IC-F6021: Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum distance of 117 centimeters away from the properly installed antenna. This separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure requirements in the applicable RF exposure compliance standards. To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC and IC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines: ••DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage 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 an 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" appears on the LCD.
