Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when "TALKING" is displayed on the function display. You can cause the radio to transmit by pushing the [PTT] switch. ••ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting and only use the Icom beltclips which are listed on page 12 when attaching the radio to your belt, or other place, to ensure FCC and IC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. ••American National Standards Institute (C95.1-2010), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 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 kHz to 300 GHz. within the FCC RF exposure limits of this ••American National Standards Institute radio.
